I think lemmy has a lot of potential, we are just lacking the flood of content that Reddit has. But as this the API changes just went into effect, I feel like new users are still learning the ropes of lemmy and it will be some time until we have that endless stream of content. So it is important for us all to be as active as possible to help reach that goal faster

Personally, I care less about the number of upvotes and more about have a steady stream of new content.

I have been sorting by new now because if not I see the same posts on both Active and Hot. We will get there though!

You can use Revanced Manager to patch the officel Reddit app to remove all ads and trackers from it. Such a scummy platform

If on Android, AdGuard is a system wide adblocker which works amazingly well. No root needed, a bit pricy for a lifetime license, but 100% worth it imo

Such a great episode 😂

Ah yes, the (not so) micro transactions of the real world

My dad is a heavy smoker and it makes me really sad that he is hurting not only himself, but the ones around him. Watching his health decline, the lack of energy, the terrible coughing just sucks... Beside poisoning himself constantly, he's wasting money that could help both himself and my mom to retire or just in general live a better life. It really sucks. We have talked to him about it countless times, but he wants none of it. So we just have to watch him slowly kill himself. Smoking sucks

I picked up some hall effect joysticks replacements and they are lovely. Would highly recommend them to anyone to elimite drift once and for all

Frankly, almost anything from Capcom gets me excited these days. They know how to make incredible games

I'm going to start a new playthrough when the big update drops that reworks everything. I feel like that will be the best way to experience all the changes being made to both the base game and the dlc. Really hyped for both! It looks awesome

I wish that the same posts across multiple instances could be merged together. So instead we just see the one post upvoted 250 times with 52 comments

Yeah I agree. I got to the point where hot and active have more or less the same posts ina different order, nothing really new showing up yet, so now I'm filling by new. It really helps to get some fresh content

Yeah I feel that, it's pretty bad honestly. Whenever I am asked I just say "no thank you" and it seems to work pretty well. Annoying how predatory they are for your data though

Just deleted my Reddit account of 7 years! Happy to be a part of a better community

This. In assuming late 2025 or early 2026

I'm pretty sure it only says your data cannot be deleted because lemmy is decentralized. Meaning anything you post is not in the hands of one entity like Reddit was. So you can't just request to delete you information, because it exists on multiple instances that are in the hands of multiple people. I don't think this has anything to do with the developer of Boost.

Please correct me if I'm wrong though

That's a pretty sweet combo, but yeah, adguard will take care of banner ads in apps too. There is a free trial for 1 or 2 weeks, other than that I think they have a monthly license, or a lifetime for around 100$. It's quite a bit for an app but considering what it does, I do not regret at all. You can use it on multiple devices too. At the very least I would recommend the trial to see if it's worth it for you
