Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Because it's pricey it's used as a status symbol, even if you can barely keep up with the monthly payments. Much like if you own a designer bag 🤷

I do own an iPhone, coming from using Android since Eclair/Froyo. I've been down deep in the custom ROM rabbit hole so switching to an iPhone and not having to jailbreak/root is a novelty. I still keep an Android but it's a backup/sacrifice phone.

Also, the Apple ecosystem is really enticing. Since starting with an iPad 5 years ago, I now have an iPhone, Macbook, and Airpods and the integration between them is pretty good.
