Good point and at the moment yes. Hopefully that is ‘soon’ to change.

I mainly use Orion on iOS as it has built in Ad tracking blockers. I’m not against ads on sites, but they have become so intrusive and make browsing on the move very disruptive.

I seem to be using multiple browsers at the moment. On desktop, Arc (chrome wrapped in a fancy UI) On mobile (iOS), I primarily use Orion as it does an amazing job of blocking intrusive and endless ads. Finally Safari or Firefox on iOS for compatibility on occasional sites. The main day to day feature I like is vertical tabs. Both Arc and Orion have this out of the box.

Many thanks for the explanation.

That's a very good and fair point.

It sounds like total incompetence, but I can’t believe that they don’t have a bigger plan. Like they’re burning the forest to promote new growth. Only the way they are going about it is to pull the rug from under our feet and ruin their brand.

With all the time and effort mods like yourself put into looking after subs, does Reddit not have at the very least a way of publicly rewarding moderators that do some much work keeping subs running? I know fellow Redditors can hand out ‘rewards’ but something directly from Reddit would show the community how much mods are appreciated and required.

“Lemmy had far more red on their ledger.”

I’ve seen this crop up and come across the term ‘tankies’. Is this referring to all of Lemmy or only certain instances.

The fediverse seems great, but also a bit like the Wildwest.

Yep, first time stepping into the fediverse, enjoying it so far but still trying to get my head around it. Also hoping that decent apps start to appear, which I would be willing to subscribe to if they had active development.

Going to miss using Apollo. Great design and Christian built it with the user experience first.
