I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It’s a recipe for a race to the bottom

And, if it isn’t maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team’s time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.

Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool

Nope, a “moon” was a single cycle of the moon through its phases, which is closest to a month out of the units we use currently.

While you can ignore that and use the word however you want, and it’s definitely possible that people have done so as a form of word play to indicate shorter units of time, it does have a usage that’s been around for a least a couple hundred years in English, and way longer in other languages.

The word month comes from moon, and in other languages, the words for month are usually also derived from their words for moon.

In English, the way the word evolved, a it was the period of time from one “new” moon to the next.

Many moons, as a phrase, came from a native American term that was used to express “a long, but undetermined time ago”. It isn’t exclusive to any specific peoples, nor only to native Americans, but the English idiom version came from a translation from a native speaker

Trade is, however, a similar term for “a long time” that’s used almost exclusively an an exaggeration, “a month of Sundays”. In a literal sense, that would mean approximately 30 Sundays, obviously, which isn’t even a full year, but it’s almost always used to express a much longer, but unspecified, time frame.

Well, I’ve tried all of them that I’ve run across.

Aside from jerboa, liftoff, connect, and thunder are the furthest along. They’re all great in their own way.

Summit, slide, and lemmedit, or whatever the abandoned one on the play store is, are all quasi functional. Summit can’t log in that I could find.

Slide is working overall, and the double columns in portrait orientation is awesome to have back. The tabbed interface only lets you switch between all/local/subscribed rather than through your subscribed C/s, but it should get there eventually.

Jerboa is pretty much the most functional overall. Anything you can do via web, you can do in app. And, you can usually do it from your feed rather than having to tap through. Subscribing is the exception there.

All of them can be a bit pissy with links sporadically. You may or may not get taken where you think you will, no matter how the link is formatted.

I think it’s connect that does the “everything” feed, which is cool as hell. Great feature that nothing else has as of yet. But, connect isn’t open source currently. Which, on a system like lemmy, that’s going to be a hard sell long term, though I believe the dev said they were going to open eventually.

The first app to figure out multi subscription function is going to end up the default though. Everybody wants to organize their communities into sorted feeds like multireddits.

I’m eager to see what sync and boost bring to the table, since they’re waiting to release until they’re beyond alpha, from what I’ve heard. Two extremely experienced devs with a long history of excellent UI, aesthetics, and functionality. There’s no telling what they’ll be able to add on top of the lemmy API basics.

Overall, I end up using jerboa the most because I use the all feed for discovery a lot, and it’s easier to subscribe and block from jerboa with minimum tap throughs. The feed also works well with the header above links/images, and good division between posts

But I like liftoff the most overall. It flows the best for me until slide and its multiple column display is backed up with more of the basic features as well. I mostly accessed reddit from tablets, and it’s the same with lemmy. Being able to make use of the screen real estate better is a killer feature for me.

Yup. It just isn’t in the play store. Github only, afaik.

Here’s a page with at least a majority, if not all, apps currently available lemmyapps.netlify.app

and here’s slide in specific

It’s coming along nicely so far. I can’t say that it’s got enough users yet to reach critical mass to displace discord, but it has the potential to

My t480 came in right at that price, and is doing very well for word processing and media consumption.

But Linux is almost always going to do well on low end stuff compared to Windows.

Sweet :)
