Yeah even among younger millennials, the green bubble is a big deal. It’s not the color of the bubble, it’s the ability to use more advanced chat functions like reactions, and if any phone in an iMessage group is Android, it breaks the functionality for the entire group.

I’ve always had an android phone and I’ve had to deal with shade from Apple sheeple regarding group messages on many occasions.

Not sure but there’s like 20 different apps and web apps in various states of development, along with Lemmy itself. I’m sure it’ll come sooner rather than later.

Somebody recommended Alexandrite to me recently

Are you a trillion dollar conglomerate? Didn’t think so

Everybody can see the number of upvotes and downvotes. But on kbin you can literally see which accounts upvoted and which accounts downvoted.

Not only that, but admins and kbinners can actually view which accounts upvoted and which downvoted each comment.

God damn that is an excellent, concise refutation of his tired point. Definitely going to borrow that argument in the future

But then whose boot do we get to lick?

Fair enough, thank you for answering my question.

I am also hoping that the content on Lemmy will improve going forward, but that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying it now.

Word, maybe you could start by joining a photography community and waiting for that to gather enough steam to branch out into something more specialized.

Sub.rehab, lemmyverse.net, and browse.feddit.de are all very helpful tools for finding new communities.

Might wanna check out !imageai@sh.itjust.works, it’s one of the finest offerings from our humble instance.

Lmk if that link works, I’m still figuring out how to link things appropriately.

I feel like a lot of people bitching about the circlejerking on Lemmy are actually just jealous of how much fun we are having and/or don’t have a great sense of humor. I haven’t laughed this frequently on the internet probably ever.

I’m a clever person who is enjoying the opportunity to participate in some erudite banter with like-minded individuals. Sue me.

You seem to be an expert when it comes to elitism, so I’ll defer to your judgment.

I am curious which social media platform you prefer?

It seems this was meant to be a response to the parent comment. Or maybe you’ve done that intentionally to highlight the need for improved UX 😅

Tbh I don’t think it matters all that much. Exclusivity is cool. Plus reddits idea of UX is literally just plastering advertisements all over your feed. Seems pretty easy to beat that out in the long run, it’ll just take some time to catch up. They had a 15 year head start

Am I seeing an obscure Biblical reference? In an anime community?

Lemmy really is the complete opposite of reddit in many ways. Instead of constant disappointment, I’m in a state of constant amazement.

If Lemmy isn’t the answer then I’m not sure what hope we have. This seems like a perfect storm and I doubt there will be a better alternative coming any time soon.

One of my concerns is that we are running out of people who remember the pre-corporate internet at this rate. This platform has a gaping hole of Gen Z users as far as I can tell. Many of them never experienced the internet when it was cool, so they don’t have any particular dissatisfaction with the curated dopamine drip feed it has been turned into.

It just feels like this is the moment to revive that original dream of the internet for a new generation. Let’s make it happen here so we can take credit for it 😅

There is a pretty wide sweet spot between 100k users and 100 million. I think most of us agree that Lemmy shouldn’t be trying to be a reddit killer, but that doesn’t contradict the fact that we still need to grow the userbase by orders of magnitude.

I’m loving this phase, don’t get me wrong, but I have a feeling that by the time we hit 1 million or 5 million it’ll be even more enoyable here. We have a longggg way to go before we have to worry about becoming too big.
