Love this band.
Chat systems aren’t email, or Usenet, or forums, and while it is a good feature in the context of those async / longer-form communication, where you need the context, it doesn’t work nearly as well for realtime chat, where you already have the context because it happened two seconds ago.
The convention of replying in thread or in channel is a combination of personal preference (I like/dislike or am/am not used to threads), group expectations (we have agreed to reply in threads/in channel), and muscle memory (I mostly talk in channels that reply in thread, but this one expects it in channel). As the number of participants increases, it gets hard to manage, so you get a mix of in-thread or in-channel replies (and in-thread replies to in-channel replies), which leads to a fragmented, inconsistent mess and people complaining about both styles at once.

why do they keep making it worse
In what way have they “taken a back seat?” Taken a back seat to what?Taken a back seat to browser development.
And in what way does this manifest? They lack features that the web UI has? Why are you bringing it up here instead of filing tickets with mobile apps?
It seems silly to say they’ve “taken a back seat” when they’re entirely different pieces of software written by different individuals. It’s like saying that Chrome development is taking a back seat to DuckDuckGo. They’re different things entirely.
I don’t believe those client apps are built by the same folks as Lemmy…They aren’t except for ‘jerboa’.
It’s a side project by a Lemmy developer, not an official part of Lemmy.
…therefore whether they “function properly” is purely a concern for their developers and users.It’s a concern because most users connect to the Internet through mobile apps.
Lemmy is non-commercial and as such “the market” doesn’t work in the same way as an integrated product like Instagram, Twitter, etc.I’m not addressing the differing world market systems. I’m addressing how most people connect to the Internet.
You seem to have confused and incorrect ideas about how the internet works.
It’s my, general, understanding that most people connect to the Internet through mobile apps.
Certainly, a lot of people use mobile apps.
If this is the case, then why have apps such as Remmel, Lemmur and jerboa taken a back seat?

They seem to be there for anyone who wants to use them, and look like they’re actively maintained.
IMHO, it would be a mistake to market Lemmy without these mobile apps functioning properly.

They really put the riff in terriffic.
Funny, I was just the other day appreciating that Lemmy didn’t try to open in a new tab.
Damn, great set. They still sound great.
Nothing at all.
From the text of the bill:
Lemmy doesn’t have that many users, and if we’re being honest, probably never will. So this unbelievably stupid and bad law doesn’t apply, and isn’t likely to in the future.
Hopefully it’s struck down, though I wouldn’t count on anything reasonable or logical coming from the ghouls on the Supreme Court these days.
