first day of apollo being dead, finding myself sadder than i thought i would be. i knew it was going to shutdown but i guess it didn't feel properly real until it just stopped working
You got it reversed, lemmy.world is at 0.17.4 and Jerboa is already at 0.18.0. No logins are possible, and if already logged in it works with some crashes.
There’s a bug on 0.18.0 that causes problems for some features of lemmy.world, they’re trying to update the instance to 0.18.1.
Apollo was made by someone who used to intern at Apple and it had that feel, imo. It was intuitive, thought-out, and functioned flawlessly. I know you’re an Android person, but take all the positive buzzwords around the Apple product philosophy and apply it to a Reddit app.
The big things and the little things. Lots of gestures - hold on a comment and drag it up and it’ll upvote, hold and drag down, downvote.
You could even have it display the current weather at the top when you were in a location-specific sub.
Calling the communities “sublemmies” for example, would mean that people on kbin have to call it like that too. And afaik they are called in a general way for the fediverse, just like how mastodon changed toot to post.
Does this make the platforms less unique? Yes, absolutely, but I don’t think there is a fix for it.
Now that you mention it, I have recently started occasionally getting next door’s post through my letterbox although I’m pretty sure I have the same postwoman as before!
I definitely used to feel somewhat comforted when I knew a package I’d ordered online was being delivered by RM, cos I could usually trust that it would be on time and in one piece. The last, I don’t know, five or six things I’ve ordered that have been delivered by RM have been delivered literally up to a week later than the timeline. Gimme DPD or DHL anyday.
It could be something unbranded, like “communities,” as long as it was consistently used by all. But to have some call it topics, some call it communities, and some call it channels just gets confusing. I’m not even going to comment on “magazines.”
For read only reddit use teddit (old.reddit style) or libreddit (new reddit style). They proxy instead of use the API so both still work but you can’t log in. sub.rehab has a good listing of reddit to lemmy equivalents.
