How fast can one really read 6000 post ? Assuming you read 100 post a minute, is that 1 hour of usage before getting cut off for the day? I dont really have a feeling how many posts a normal twitter user would go through in a minute.

Serious question, wtf is a convenience fee? There needs to be a law for companies to explain wtf these things are.

idealotus ,

For the convenience of getting screwed over…

LetMeEatCake ,

Convenience fee is the best name they can apply to soften a fee, which is really just a way for them to charge more than the list price.

Fees should be universally folded into the list price by default.

It’s fucking disgusting. TMobile does this shit, too with their “other fees”. My gym does this with a $27 a year “maintenance fee”. Like wtf is this?

SixTrickyBiscuits ,

You might be seeing fees I’m not, but some cell service are actually mandatory in the US. Usually a few dollars a month, they go to various state and federal agencies.

I don’t know. I don’t mind the fee if it’s small, but at least give a name that shows it’s justified. “other fees” doesn’t mean shit

Xterrestrea1 ,

Essentially automated greed. They make more money by automating their employees and they charge you even more because of how convenient it was for them to do so.

Twitter doesn't want to pay the Google Cloud bill lol

Kissaki ,

Before Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform last year, Twitter signed a multi-year contract with Google related to fighting spam and protecting accounts, among other things, the report said.

Sounds like it's not about hosting their infrastructure but tangential services.

Of course Elon Musk thinks he can anti-spam and protect accounts better by himself and without external cost.

I'd love to see cloud hosters refusing to work with Elon Musk because of all the unpaid bills stuff.

This will actually make lemmy usable on mobile for me! I’ve been using boost for years, and I really can’t wait.

I assume it’s like api calls where it costs me two calls to write this response. One to view yours and one to write this reply.

Right now there are about 200 posts on this thread so if I scroll through this thread it would cost me 200 calls.

forksandspoons ,

Im not familiar with the lemmy source code but i would imagine it would batch fetch comments all at once with one api call (or maybe a few if the thread is big enough). Fewer api calls is less load on a lemmy server, less chance that any one of the calls them fails, etc. At least, if i wrote lemmy id i would do something like that.

Dran_Arcana ,

It stops scrapers mostly, but also public frontends like nitter from serving Twitter data to more than a person or two. It’s a pretty transparent “hit the low hanging fruit” attempt to get people logged in and viewing ads that they can track to more-expensive-per-click users (ones that can be targeted more specifically than browser fingerprinting + geodata

After 12 years on reddit (most of those on Apollo), it’s great to be here! Thank’s for the warm welcome.

Hhhmmm , to android in Boost for Lemmy is happening!

Great news! Waiting for Boost and Sync

SoulSkill , to android in Boost for Lemmy is happening!

I do get the “distributed” nature of networks and the underlying philosophy, but only if there’s a common interface where lemmy/mastodon or other similar network created accounts can be used seamlessly in addition to the current behavior.

I love it here, but the apps aren’t great yet. I’m banking on future releases and improvements. I’m running 4 apps and they all have issues :/

Wefwef is promising; if you liked Apollo it comes pretty close to that experience

howsetheraven ,

Trying Connect on Android and it seems to be the best so far. I thought Summit was lacking and Jerboa looks worse imo. This one is just lacking some small qol features that would go a long way like how images and comment threads are handled.

peelon_musk ,

I’m using connect as well, seems like the best of the current options. The way the comments are indented and colored reminds me of one of the Reddit Android apps, maybe relay

iMightEatUrAss ,

I’m also using connect. It’s not bad I must say. A few QOL updates and it will be perfect

Declared0978 ,

Liftoff on Android has been better than jerboa for me, minor bugs which I’m sure will get fixed. My favorite reddit app was sync tho, so excited to see that when it releases.

donut4ever ,
@donut4ever@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I like lift off. Still doesn’t have font size for the comments yet. Waiting for that feature and also the notifications to work. Wefwef, thunder and connect for Lemmy are pretty good, too

I already learned my lesson when I signed up to the big Mastodon instance hosted on the other side of the world—found the second largest US-based server I could find, signed up there, rock solid so far.

Coeus , to fediverse in Lemmy.world grew by about 40% on the first day of reddit migration

I’m curious if anyone has made a “Here are the current apps for Lemmy” posts. The last one is a few days old.

c0c0c0 ,

Funny that 2 days seems too long ago.

FarLine99 ,

Not just posts, but community - lemmyapps community, check it. Spoiler: Liftoff and WefWef (definetly) are incredible options.

Coeus ,

Thank you, I’m currently using Thunder
