A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I also bet there are people who haven't already left that will abandon ship once the TPAs stop working. It's not going to be fun getting stuck with their mediocre app, particularly since they seem to be testing the end of the mobile site.
This. For a lot of people Reddit isn't reddit.com, it's Apollo or Relay or Sync or Reddit Is Fun.
After the apps stop working, they won't be able to keep using the thing they're used to. They can't just go back, they'll have to switch to something different.
I stopped using Twitter when they pulled this API crap, and as a Boost user, I won't use reddit when I can no longer use Boost.
Currently using Jerboa for beehaw and I'm liking it so far, and the dev seems really responsive to user requests. Excited for the communities to get some traction moving forward!
not toot my own horn, but the 3d party app community for lemmy is quite active right about now... wink-wink
the community has risen to meet demand, and it's a very exciting time right now!
That's me, avid Relay Pro user, I'm not going back to the pos native app. Loving Lemmy and the Fediverse! Also, kinda psyched to see it grow.
I imagine there's a meaningful amount of users that only exist in the context of the third party apps, that will disappear after the apps lose support. I'm sure most of them are lurkers, but that's still something.
I wonder if lurkers are ad clickers
I mostly lurk with a few comments a day on Reddit. My oldest account is like 6 years old and has 60k comment karma, so I'll at least be bringing that here and away from there.
But, I am going to use it a bit more before the end of the month since I'm not paying for it and I'm not getting a new app, this is my reddit swan song I guess. I'll also be nuking the old comments of course ;)
