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.

just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

Joey is currently canvassing for whether people would be willing to pay a subscription. As an average Joey user, the answer is no.

I feel bad no supporting them (Joey) but I rather see Joey support the Lemmy/ActivityPub protocol

Agreed, assuming more than us 20 people take a principled stance and leave Reddit.

I wish people would do this with more platforms in general. However I did pay for the original paid Joey app and would support them if Reddit wasn't going down the typical enshittification path.

Just changed to lemmy and using the lemmy mobile app. If you set it to ‘subscribed’ its great.

By "Lemmy app" do you mean "Jerboa for Lemmy"? Because I don't see any other apps on the Samsung app store. Maybe the official one is only for iPhone?

No its in testflight for ios called Mlem. Unsure if there is an android version. Maybe?

How much were these apps making in revenue? Curious how bad the gap is with the API pricing.
