  • I’ve found this too. Generally if I’m okay waiting for the answer I’ll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.

    Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information

    I use Sailfish OS on the Sony Xperia 10 III.

    I choose the OS because I wanted a phone OS which would get updates for a long time, which sailfish has a good track record of and I wanted one which ran linux so that I had the normal things I’m used to on the desktop like systemd, pulseaudio, bash, rpm, etc. I did need it to run android for a couple of banking apps and sailfish provide a pretty decent android support layer. It’s worked really well, the biggest drawback I’d say is that parts of it are not open source and they’re kind of doing their own stuff so while some things do work like KDE apps, other apps would take a lot more effort to get working (gtk apps for example).> Fairphone



  • I think I disagree. I have heard this a lot on Reddit and I’ve heard it about Twitter, Google Plus and a bunch of other social networks and I’ve been on small ones and huge ones alike. Honestly, to me, when a social network is large it includes both nuanced discussion and there more casual posting. I don’t see why both can’t exist on the same site and I feel like it often does exist on the same site.

    I also think people have a huge range of interests, some of which might be quite niche and having a large user base means these niche communities can thrive. When I’ve used smaller social networks, this typically has been the problem. They often have their tech communities covered and they often have other large common hobbies and interests covered, but if you take for example learning welsh or theremin music or something else, then you typically only get communities about those things on larger networks.



  • Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:

    In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs

    so I guess it’s both bing and their own thing.
