I've been using Jerboa for Lemmy for my Beehaw account since the Migration. At first it worked fine. Then I started getting an error message about the version of Lemmy being used on the instance. But for the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately on opening:
A major benefit of liftoff to me is that it takes me to linked communities in app, instead of in browser like Jerboa. Makes it easier to subscribe to new communities that people share in comments
Jerboa started crashing for me around the time they did an update that required a newer lemmy version. I've been using Liftoff and that's working pretty well so far. I'm trying to stay open to different apps because they're all pretty new and none that I've tried have been exactly what I'm looking for yet.
This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.
That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!
I was willing to pay infinty a subscription in order to keep using reddit, but Lemmy is actually far better than I expected, so I'm just not going back to reddit now!
I have auto update turned off for apps, so I didn't get the last update for Infinity and I can still use it to see Reddit, for now. Once it dies I'm out though. I can't imagine they will be able to get enough subscriptions to support the app, so I'm not really sure what the goal is here.
Even the people subbed to r/Infinity_For_Reddit are saying they won't buy a subscription. Wouldn't Infinity be racking up a huge bill from Reddit once the API change goes into effect? There's no way subscriptions will cover that so I don't understand why they're doing this.
I downloaded these every week from The Onion long ago. They've been unavailable online for many years; even the Internet Archive was missing a lot of them. Which is a pity, because they're incredibly funny. Recently I assembled them into a single collection, filling in some of the gaps with supplements from the IA, and posted the whole collection. There are 40 files. As far as I know, this is the most complete archive available anywhere.

I have a bunch of very rare comedy MP3s that I collected long ago from the web. They're not available online now, for the most part. They're REALLY funny, and I'd like to make them available on Lemmy. Any idea how I could post them? I have 40 files.
Okay, I wouldn't be here if Beehaw hadn't defederated from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I'd set up an account a few days ago, but every time I logged on here the lag was intolerable. Luckily things seem much more stable now.
It's quite a change from Beehaw - being able to create magazines, for example. I'm tempted to give that a try for my favorite tabletop RPG, since there isn't one for it yet. I also quite like this microblogging option, although I'm confused about where it actually is in the Fediverse! Am I on kbin now, or sh.itjust.works?
Anyway, although I like the relative niceness and safety of Beehaw, I'm glad to have the option of an account here, too. Truth to tell, I'm not comfortable with ANYBODY telling me that there are things I can't see. Or things I can't say, for that matter. Both of which have become common as hell on Reddit.
Btw, I was unable to comment on this post until I selected English in the language selector. If you're having problems replying to certain posts or comments, but not others, it's probably something to do with the language selector being janky.
IMO the kbin microblogging is pretty confusing, I wish they made it look more like Mastodon. Gonna have people accidentally creating posts in random communities.
Finally! I've been trying to blog here for days, but the lag has been impossible.
Lemmy doesn't seem to have the option to blog to your own account at all - and I don't know if anyone else in the Fediverse outside of kbin will be able to see this entry here. Likewise, Bookwyrm allows me to post "Direct Message"s to my own profile, as far as I can tell - effectively microblogging - but they appear to be private only, which makes me suspect that I'm the only one who can see them. Even if that's not the case, I'm completely in the dark as to whether anyone outside of Bookwyrm can read them!
@BobQuasit I see you. They will scale up and we will have more normal functionality here in a few weeks. I think I am seeing you because of the Fediverse tag.
