Same, DDG fails with local results here in the Philippines, I found myself adding “g!” to my searches more often

Or a very solid way of backing up important stuff like family photos, because no burglar in their right mind would steal a DVD from your home.

but in typical Google fashion it’s not launched yet.

And is likely to get shut down in a year or two…

I was wondering where these comments went. Keep up the good work, mate!

Same, but maybe my timezone (GMT +8) would play a role in my case

when lemmy is clearly essentially a reddit clone.

The apps blurring the lines between the two platforms don’t help too lol

I hope downvote percentage can be added too, either displayed alongside the downvote number or a toggle between the two metrics—I missed the percentages from S4R.

I wonder if that’s shared with lemmy.world or if that data is just for the Mastodon service?

Yeah, I read about that too, but what if I make an account on an instance that isn’t world or beehaw? Would I see content from both?

That level of transparency is incredible, lowkey considering making an account there…

Genuine question, is it possible for a developer of a FOSS project to enforce copyright protections or does the nature of FOSS disallow that?

That’s kinda confusing for me tho, I mean can still load posts fine and comment and upvote…

And those are the ones with arguably better UIs out of all of the apps

Notice a pattern?

I’m surprised they don’t shit on macOS too lol

FOSS apps often suffer from mediocre UX/UI since the expected audience are power users, but it alienates users that aren’t. They’re functional for those who need it, yes, but is the GUI high quality? More often than not, they aren’t.

I’m not saying FOSS can’t have bad UI, like Blender for example, but those are the exception, not the rule.

For me, Connect and Thunder are getting there, but they don’t have the same level of quality and finesse as Sync. Though to be fair, Sync has a decade of work put into it.

True, I really does feel the same, the only bugs I’ve ran into were broken comment trees but that’s also a Lemmy API thing

Yeah, unfortunately I went back to Reddit (with a modded Sync Pro) out of habit because the default Lemmy web UI and the other 3PAs weren’t as good as Sync for Reddit was. I can finally settle on Lemmy and quit Reddit in the long term now

And Sync in general is far more feature-rich than all the other Lemmy apps I’ve tried. Connect for Lemmy was the closest with its swipe to upvote mechanic, but it feels very nice to be at home again.

Yeah, I’ve seen at least one broken comment tree on Sync, it confused the hell out of me

Doesn’t seem like it. When I clicked on the GIF it opened up a temporary Firefox window
