Totally agree. Check out wefwef.app if you haven’t already. You can add a shortcut to your homescreen so it opens and looks like a native app (which closely resembles Apollo). If you need help with that, let me know.

It’s broken. Some people are saying it’s a lemmy issue and not specific to this app, but I don’t have this problem when using wefwef.

Kbin looks way too much like the latest version of Reddit that is over designed and cumbersome.

Plenty of third party apps popping up for lemmy with Apollo like UI/UX that is much better (like wefwef or Memmy for example).

Yeah I’m curious if all the people in the comments that say they are using and enjoying it also have friends that signed up or if it’s just all meme accounts.

What is there to do? Is it just meme accounts or did your friends start using it too?

I mostly use instagram to interact with IRL friends and follow some meme accounts, so I’m curious what this app even looks like if my friends aren’t on it.

How do I find and interact with things inside the fediverse but outside of lemmy? Like mastodon for example. Do I need to make a mastodon account or is there a way for me to see and interact with it using my lemm.ee account?

Yeah that makes sense. I have no problem using wefwef for the time being until these other apps iron the kinks out.

Yeah, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. It also let me log in but says I don’t subscribe to any communities (which is wrong) and doesn’t show many any communities when I use search.

Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.

I have way more bugs on Memmy. I can’t even reply to most comments in that app for some reason. Wefwef can be a little finicky but smoother overall for me.

Honestly, they probably like the feeling of “power” (as sad as that sounds) that comes with moderating a community as large as theirs on Reddit.

I love that the it emphasizes that this is a joke and you should absolutely not do this and then lists a bunch of steps that are basically “set up your own instance and be an awesome administrator!”

wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.

I figure you’d audit it by examining the results, and if bias isn’t detectable in the results

I was just asking for more info on how you’d examine the results for bias since it would need to be pretty extreme like the example you gave to be identifiable as something worth investigating.

All good if you don’t have a more specific answer, I was just curious what your personal thoughts were here.

Right, that’s why I was trying to ask you for your opinion on what the threshold for “investigation worthy” results

That would be a pretty extreme bias to have, so yeah that would make sense. If it’s not so drastic it might be harder to spot by just looking at the results.

What would unbiased results look like?

This movie felt like they just blended together the last 2 movies to make a 4th for a cash grab. Super underwhelming.

Not a bad thing imo. Not everyone spends all day on the internet. I probably spend more time than most people and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a meme that’s new to me and half the comments are bitching about it being a repost.

Definitely not. It’s what’s known as a “dark pattern” in the industry.
