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…

    That’s a weird way to put it. In Canada, the category is called “top free”.

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

    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.

      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

        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

          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 :')

      It’s a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.

      The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don’t post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.

      The problem is monetisation. You don’t use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn’t have any ads. So I don’t know how low they’re able to do this without shutting down

      And if you don’t have any friends IRL that use it, it’s pretty boring
