I’m really stoked we’ve had this rapid development over the past week. I don’t expect that to go on forever because the rate of updates just isn’t sustainable, but once we get the new icon I’ll be happy with longer intervals between new stuff.

I’m also just really stoked the Lemmy API is so open that we can have a TON of apps being developed in parallel, and now I have the luxury of choosing the one I like best instead of just having to pick what works.

When all the Reddit stuff started, I was just using the mobile browser version. Now look at us! We’re using this slick and semi-stable app that not only works but it looks good doing it!

It’ll slow down within a month or two. We’re still kind of right in the middle of all of it right now.

I experienced something really similar when swapping from Twitter to Mastodon; we were all talking about Twitter a lot because a lot of users just came from there.

After a while people stopped meta posting and it went back to normal, and we have little spikes in posts about Twitter when ever musk does something stupid but that’s fine.

Just give it some time. We can swap from one link aggregator to another and instantly act like the other side isn’t on fire

Go for a workout. Get active in some way. Whenever I’m all wound up from work or social life and I just have no patience I go for a run or go to the gym. It expends the excess energy AND gives my brain the good chemicals. It also gives some time to think and process what you’re feeling while your physical body is occupied.

I’m not the biggest fan of Nilay’s articles or reviews, though it’s been a while since I’ve read one. I’ve kind of checked out on the Verge recently. Not that they’re bad or anything, just not for me.

I’m really glad he’s on the ball with stuff like this, I absolutely wouldn’t have picked up on that maneuvering and I’m sure many others wouldn’t have either. Industry professionals like him are good for EVERYONE.

Good shit, Nilay.

Any chance you’ll add a Dracula theme or other color schemes?

Dang! Well I wish you guys the best of luck! Not that you’ll need it, haha! The app is looking and feeling great 👍

Ahahaha I just realized that so many people are going to have Memmy auto corrected to Mommy when talking about it!

And yeah, I bounce back and forth a bit too but now that Memmy has a Dracula theme and other colour themes, and Mlem has said they’re not adding any, I think I’m sticking to Memmy

Boy do I love the look of all the Ikelos weapons. I use a lot of weapons based on light level + how cool they look.

That being said, I'm not the hugest fan of how the Witherhoard looks (I don't really like Hive weapons) and yet I use that thing all the time. I love you, Witherhoard

A small change to consider:

The animation for viewing subscribed communities (the one that plays when tapping the star from the main feed) slides over from the right side of the screen when it would make more sense to slide over from the left.

Also, it would be nice to be able to pull that communities slide over open with my thumb from the left side of the screen, kind of like Apollo used to do. The star is really high up on my phone and iPad haha

You added some really nice default themes, thanks for that.

I’m a big Dracula fan, that and the push notification update have prompted me to replace Mlem on my home screen with Memmy haha.

Thanks for all your hard work!
