It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

Long press on your username in bottom center.

If they could integrate that development into making Siri better, that’d be great.

I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.

Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.

I mean, did anyone think it wasn’t basically spyware?

I gotta say, sometimes I miss my fully customized LED on my blackberry back in the day. It could be in the bottom of a gym bag and I’d still know if I missed a Google Talk message (green) or a Facebook alert (dark blue) or an email (light blue), etc etc etc.

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

They’ll probably get mad that people can take their ball and go home by going to another instance without ads and signing away access to all of their personal data but get the same content. If they defederate, to me that’s the trash taking itself out.

You’re awesome, and I hope you sleep at some point, haha.

I’ve been beta testing since day one - which was only 22 days ago. It’s amazing how great this app has gotten in such a short time.

In case anyone wanted the non-beta or couldn’t get in because TestFlight was full, this just popped in about an hour ago.

Congratulations to the dev team!

The ads are real bad if you don’t pay to not see them, and trending is dumb, but the most egregious thing is that you can’t sort your Home feed. It is stuck to “best” and the algorithm is terrible.

It used to have the ability to sort, but they removed it at some point, I’m not sure when because I had been using Apollo for years.

I took a look at the last iteration of Alien Blue (which can still be downloaded if you had it at some point but you can’t log into it anymore) and that 2014 app is still better.

It just makes me sad.
