Lemmy is booming
I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it’s obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I’m looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

All we need is for Christian the Apollo app developer to port over his app to lemmy
Reddit Boost developer for me. Jerboa app is terrible lol.
Any reason not to just improve Jerboa? I don’t see anything fundamentally bad with it, and usually it’s not great to have a large number of apps for a (currently) narrow use.
People in the Lemmy matrix chat are working on a new Android app (not sure if it’s a redsign of Jerboa or a new app though).
Why is it bad to have multiple apps? Just like the dozen of Reddit apps on Android, competition is a good thing.
Plus not everyone wants the same UI, and trying to make a UI that fits everyone is impossible. For example, I cannot stand Sync for Reddit, but I love Boost for Reddit.
There’s only a finite amount of resources to work on apps for a given platform. It works fine for Reddit because Reddit is one of the top websites in the world. If all of Lemmy was a subreddit, it wouldn’t make it into the top 1000 subreddits. Spreading the amount of effort you can derive from that number of users over a large number of apps is a recipe for low quality apps. I’m not saying just have one app, but think carefully about whether it’s better for the ecosystem to simply improve the existing offerings.
It’s not bad at all. It just needs to be refined
Sync for Reddit on Android is my fav 🤤
Christian might want to talk to Paul Haddad @paul@tapbots.social (Tweetbot dev who switched over and now makes Ivory for Mastodon)
