If the AMA taught us anything, it's that spez doesn't actually use reddit. Let alone understand it.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a proper iPad version of Apollo. It was on the dev's to-do list but obviously he's never going to get round to it now, which is a real shame. The scaled-up iPhone version you do get on iPad is still probably the best iPad version of reddit though, not that there's a great deal of competition. It's not the best way to experience Apollo though.

Alternatively, Elon just found out how many people are blocking him.

Having played a bit of Zelda recently, micromanaging weapons. Oh, I've got this metal broad sword and I've used it to to stab an unarmored fleshy bad guy and oh it's broken after three stabs.

I get that weapon degradation is a real thing that happens, as they become blunt or potentially fragile, but Zelda BOTW and TOTK take it way too far to the point of it being a real chore. I thought they'd fix it after all the BOTW complaints but TOTK is just as bad.

The best on-boarding experience I've ever had was with a remote company. I think it's more that companies still haven't adapted properly to remote working, or have paid lip service to it. If a company does it well, it can be excellent, I'd argue better than in-person because it's more inclusive.

Yeah same here. I think it might actually be worse than before the update.

I couldn't see any others when I searched earlier (I tried the browse sites and searching - I may just be really bad at it or I guess there are some scaling issues with the recent influx of users, I'm getting a fair few timeouts and things).

I've no real desire to run a community so I'd be happier if there was an existing one. Fair point on the more general communities at this stage, I saw a couple pop up for other UK cities in the trending list so went looking for London and came up blank. It's not something I'm wanting to push at all, so I'll leave it as is and if people use it, that's ok, and if not, that's also ok.

Interesting, it doesn't show up when I search for it, I wonder if it's bene de-federated or something? it would be great if there was another one, I've no real desire to run a community so would be happy to go to an existing one.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was surprised I couldn't find a community for London for example, so I've just created one !london@lemmy.world . Feels like there are lots of other significant gaps for other major towns and cities, sports teams etc. I'm sure it will get there.

What I struggle with a bit is that making apps accessible on iOS is pretty straight forward. You almost have to go out of your way to not do it. I don't have experience in Android development, but would imagine it's at least similar? So I can only conclude that it's something reddit really doesn't care about. Not even an after-thought. So I'm sceptical of any company with that sort of mindset being able to do a good job.

Agreed on RedReader. I wouldn't be putting any time, effort, or money in to developing a reddit app or bot right now. The writing's on the wall.

Probably depends on how you define success with these things. The valuation of the company is down a significant amount since it was purchased and recent reports had ad revenue also down a significant amount too. Whether the owner cares about those things is probably up for debate, and evidence would suggest he might be looking for something other than money out of it, like influence, or just a play thing. I'm not sure the owners of Reddit are motivated by the same things, I think they just want to be richer. Time will tell I guess, it's difficult to tell the difference between incompetence and intentional acts from the outside.

Absolutely wild that they looked at what happened at Twitter, identified all the things that triggered the several periods of mass migration to Mastodon (shutting off api access, policy changes, shutting down conversation about alternatives) and decided to speed run it. Next thing is trying to directly monetise people by giving them a red tick or something.
