Sucks that all of the iOS apps require getting an invite to TestFlight, including joining some discord server to ask for it. It doesn’t help that Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks, so being an iOS user on Lemmy requires either a lot of patience or a high level of commitment.
It’s nice that there are a lot being worked on, but I feel like whichever hits the appstore first will win.
At 1:40: If your breath is ???, or you’re on a long ???
I think that’s “if your breath is mean, or you run a long thing”
Idk the others
It happened even while I was typing the above comment. Replying to you now doesn’t seem to do it, maybe because only 2 comments are visible in this view. I guess the full comment thread also tries to load new comments automatically?
Also, scrolling around sometimes abruptly loses momentum, which is very jarring on iOS.
So I’m not the only one experiencing weird jittery scrolling that jumps around on its own for no reason?
The other element to this is the lack of competition. Since companies funded this way don’t need to turn a profit for a long time, they can very easily kill their competitors who do need to be profitable to survive.
So when the time comes for the company to turn a profit, there are few if any competitors left to put pressure on them, giving them the power to do what they want, and leaving consumers with no other options.
Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it’s because it was recently posted when I saw it. It’s not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.
So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.
Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)
Extremely charitable guess: they want it to be open to prevent the spread of germs slightly (so nobody has to touch a door), but need the option of closing it after school hours to prevent vandalism.
That’s why you should always search for or file a bug report before trying to create a fix.
