It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended... "Infinity" is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200...

To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype...

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload...

Fuck you Reddit and Steve Huffman....good riddance.

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

I don't understand why they don't just improve their app. Half the outrage wouldn't have happened if they'd just improved the app before doing the api thing, like adding accessibility functions. Even if they'd kept the ad issues, they still would have experienced way less backlash, and it's not like they don't have the resources.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They don't want to improve it. The app did exactly what Reddit wants...to service its users with the most amount of ads possible. Third party apps don't do that, which is why they wanted them killed off.

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 year ago

That's a weird way to put it. In Canada, the category is called "top free".

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's to clarify that you still pay for those apps, but not with money.

[-] xyzinferno@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And even with the apps, you're still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can't be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

So ads and data collection are illegal in Canada?

[-] anguo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe my comment wasn't clear, I meant the 0€ version. As in, those apps cost 0 money but aren't "free". Just an attempt to be snarky.

[-] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But it doesn't say "Top for 0€" in Canada, it says "Top free"

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly. EU famously has much stronger consumer protection laws

In my country we call it "maximum data surrender".

So many BeReals I got were just friends sitting on the toilet and I don't want to know what they're doing there all day long

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Flushing. They should try it sometime.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Flushing is long over for this toilet

[-] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

It's the shit demon from Dogma!

[-] Gsus4@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that last contributor, tho, brave or desperate?

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Gsus4@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ok, I guess some people really are full of shit....

[-] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lovoo still exists?! Isn't their CEO in prison due to them creating fake accounts of women in order to squeeze money out of naive men?

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I've never heard of it before

I just checked the playstore from the US. Same thing, not on the top 200 at all. Relay for Reddit is at 141. Fucking Truth Social is at 16. Reddit is still an editors choice app though.

[-] baked_tea@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Editor might wanna try another career field

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, Truth Social isn't really a thing outside the US afaik. Wikipedia says you need an US-American or British phone number to register (not that I wanted to do anyways)

[-] donio@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Fedilab is #1 in the "Top Paid" category! (US)

Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.

Who'd have thought that arbitrary despotism had consequences?

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Apparently not this guy:

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Funny, since my Infinity still works somehow. No clue why, but maybe that's why it's on the list.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, the API is still free if you don't use it commercially if I'm informed correctly (commercially includes app subscriptions, ads and asking for donations)

Try visiting an NSFW sub tho

[-] Prof_Eibe@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

sadly Twitter is still there.. :/

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Imo one of the reasons why the protest on Reddit has worked so well in comparison to X is because of the way content is presented. Whilst X didn't really care about people leaving/protesting, Reddit was extremely affected by the blackout (even if Huff played it down) because the content that was left was trash and people were forced to move or boycott it at least)... There's just no comparable force to the subreddits on X that could affect everyone's timeline so much that they would be forced to stay off it.

That being said, there are lots of more reasons for why X hasn't died (yet)

[-] clumsyninza@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Why hasn't X died yet though?

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I wish it had :')

[-] s1vgm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

"removed by moderator for violating Reddit's content policy" I've been using Reddit for years, but recently it's kinda annoying...

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't been on there since the first blackout

Es ist nicht viel, aber es ist ehrliche Arbeit

I dont see it in top free/top free grossing/top free social east coast US.

Only in top grossing social.

What's Plato?

"Group games and chats" it says (my french is bad) but I've never heard of it. Is it french only?

Edit: at least I think "Chats" means chats and not cats xD

[-] Interesting_Test_814@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know what Plato is either.

Your translation is correct btw although I'd translate it as "games and group chats" but it can mean both. And indeed "Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Such a shame: I would have enjoyed group cats...

I've been searching the Play Store and it does exist in my country as well

Yeah, your translation actually got me the idea of translating it "Games and Chats as a group"... The official name for my country is "Plato - Games & Group Chats"... Anyways :')

[-] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

"Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here

That is the most stereotypical language thing I have ever seen
