  • I’d say ease of use is up there, lot’s of apps just won’t run without google services. Graphene has the ability to run google apps within a strict sandbox, which can be great paired with separate profiles for different purposes. It’s really clean and user friendly, while still putting security and privacy at the forefront. I quite enjoy the default app as well, except for the messaging service, which I find lacking in basic features.









  • Overall I’d say it feels bittersweet. It sucks that reddit is being screwed over, but it could be really good for lemmy as a whole as long as we get through the growing pains. I like our community but it could use more people posting/commenting and driving up the engagement. Some communities are just too sparse right now.



  • Oddly enough I feel like I’m going to miss the UX from boost more than the subreddits themselves. Even the better ones have so much negativity in the comment sections that there’s no point in participating in the conversations, even with the wealth of content compared to Lemmy currently.

    Looking forward to the growth from Lemmy apps such as Jerboa and Mlem.
