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.

Today, I've spent all the time I would ordinarily waste on reddit trying to figure out Lemmy instead. It's been fun! Honestly refreshing.
When Twitter seemed like it was going to suddenly implode last November (as opposed to the slow, slow death it opted for instead), I tried to hop onto Mastodon along with everyone else. My experience was bad. It was too slow. Too slow to use. Lemmy has been a great experience in comparison.
That's the only issue with these multi-instance semi-decentralized solutions, we need users to spread out and learn how to sync in with the rest from there. Ideally, there would be some automated system to set users up on their lowest latency server with the most free capacity, or to be able to move a user to another server without having to start again.
I'm in the same boat. All my Apollo browsing time has been spent on learning this. I basically just tipped Christian £10 then checked out. mlem for iOS is surprisingly good, I feel pretty at home on it, at least for basic scroll browsing
Thanks for suggesting mlem. Found the TestFlight and it’s so much better than the website. I’m also a former Apollo user so my expectations are through the roof.
