Maybe it's because reviews like "fuck u/spez, use lemmy instead" contain word "lemmy"?

[–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's probably part of it, but there's definitely more factors. I trust the Play Store is able to align user patterns , like how 99.9% of users searching for and downloading a Lemmy app at one point downloaded a Reddit app.

[–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

then we need to be uninstalling reddit and installing porn social apps immediately after. enough people do it and...

I accidentally deleted comment when trying to edit. You still might be able to see it from different instances due to how ActivityPub works.

Here is what it said:

Reddit - the shitty corporate Lemmy alternative

[–] SapienSRC@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that's not too big of a surprise

[–] jmanjones@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost for Reddit was great to me. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out and even be able to support the devs

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I'll defo support boost once it comes out. Even if I still end up using another app, was too late for the Reddit version.

Dang, I saw Boost for Lemmy on there and got excited for a moment. I can't wait.

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Pre-signed. Can't wait for the release!

At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.

Now I'm using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.

I'm waiting for Sync 😊

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Connect had some issues until recently, but it seems to be working better now

[–] lemminer@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Google play store is cringe.

[–] GatoB@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Google ~~play store~~ is cringe

[–] tcj@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They're one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they're constantly making major redesigns for no reason.

[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Google domains was the one I least expected to be killed.

I'm more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.

[–] starman@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

For me it's:

  1. ~~Official~~ shitty reddit app
  2. to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
  3. Discord
  4. Another 3rd party app
  5. LinkedIn
  6. Twitter
  7. PUBG mobile
  8. Pinterest
  9. Some AI shit
  10. Genshin impact
  11. to ∞. mostly games

They do not.

[–] sneezy@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (24 children)

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I've been using the website on my phone. I figure I'll check out the apps again after they settle into themselves more.

What's Fedilab?

[–] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty sure it's a universal app to access all kinds of fediverse apps, like mastodon, calckey, etc.

[–] amiuhle@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So it's a browser?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

It's a proper app that can parse and follow fedi links internally, and has the native feel you can't really get with a web app.

[–] Kushi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's a generic ActivityPub client.

I stopped using an "app" for Lemmy. Now that m.lemmy.world has wefwef built in, the web app is perfect. Honestly better than most of the native apps out there.

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whoa, wait. WefWef (now "Voyager") BUILT IN? How slick is that! (Voyager is one of my fav ways to lemmy...) 😎

That is reasonable. It is a more popular (by installation numbers) that fills a similar niche and close to 100% of everyone that installs a Lemmy app also installed a reddit app at some point. The algoritm should recommend reddit if you search for Lemmy

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Trust me. This is waaaaayyyyyyy better of how it was 2 weeks ago 👆

[–] cincinmasukmangkok@lemmy.my.id 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same for kbin

[–] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kbin really needs an app. I like the idea of it, but I never want to use it unless I'm at my desktop.

[–] seaneoo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Artemis just entered the beta phase. http://kbin.social/m/artemisapp

Well yeah? After the product it will show you similar products.

[–] loz@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

And don't forget the Joker!

[–] Kuroshio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Give it time, it'll be 10th, then 14th, then..
