For me, Apollo is Reddit. Giving this Lemmy thing a try. The community is small but i’m hopeful. Currently using Mlem on iOS. Nothing compared to the Apollo experience, but its a start.
Fellow Apollo refugee here. I've got some Swift experience and some free time, so I'm going to start contributing to Mlem and try to bring as much of Apollo's magic to it as I can. It's a long road, but I'm optimistic that we can build something great
I'm a android reddit is fun user for at least ten years and old.reddit.. I am surprised how much I like the Lemmy mobile interface just in browser. Desktop is ok but I have some complaints (centered, not utilizing the width, too much padding on elements). Tried the beehaw themes available, none that worked entirely. The default is totally usable, I'm just being picky. I tried playing around with custom styling but with the modularity of the css it wasn't easy to do just poking around for 15 minutes.
This! A data request is computationally expensive to execute, and also they can have immediate stats on how many users are requesting it. At least it's a blip in the radar
@mbp@datavoid, agree, although GDPR is still far from an ideal standard, it is certainly light years ahead of most countries outside of Europe regarding the rights of the users. This is why I prefer to use soft and European services.
I am holding onto my Reddit account for the time being as I did not need an email address to create it. But if they ever demand an email address, I will just delete the accounts.
huh? I also have a reddit account without email created 10 years ago, but they're bugging me every. single. time. i access that damn site, with no option to dismiss the "y u no give u email plz" banner
Hmm what if everyone did that? show Reddit that the data is ours not theirs. Mass content deletion would be a real shame but seeing as so much of Reddit is a repost it won't take long for Lemmy to contain plenty of content. And agreeing to keep all "how too/tech support" knowledge would still mean the majority of Reddit would vanish over night.
I use Reddit Nuke History on Edge because it’s the only place it works still, but barely. Are there any others I can use to delete all my shit before deleting my Reddit account?

I will say Mlem on iOS feels great though. Same with Lemmy. I was worried about losing my news but I already get it here.
Acheron@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y
Doesn't work on iOS 15, though :(
roizor@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Same here, just feels like it needs some touching up, and the stats gimmick that was cool
AlgonquinHawk@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Exact same here

Can you tell me how to download Mlem? I searched it on the App Store and nothing came up

I'm really annoyed that it doesn't work on iOS 15, i'm still holding out with the MDC, hoping for a JB

Love it, would we issue a GDPR request even if one lives outside of Europe?

I use Apollo and old.Reddit.com. Maybe it’s Reddit enhancement suite or ublock origin. Not sure really. Maybe it asks and I mentally block it.

How did you get your Reddit data? That’s the one thing I’m trying to do but was unsure.

Slowly learning how to navigate the Fediverse. Interested to see where it goes, the idea is very interesting.
