It’s probably a bit of both - wefwef has been around for literally just days at this point I believe, so I have high hopes it will continue to improve.

Beyond that, there are a lot of people who feel Apollo is/was the best user experience for Reddit, and there will be a LOT of devs trying to emulate that - one way or another, we’re going to get a high-quality Apollo replacement eventually.

Are you using it as an installed PWA? I’m not having any issues with animations or scrolling. I have run into a few weird UI bugs with slide up menus within communities, but that’s about it.

nice

Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I’ve seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn’t even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I’ve been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it’s better.

Look at those eyes!

Yeah the icon is goofy but I can overlook it for the time being - I’d rather them focus on features and functionality and bring the fun stuff later (which seems to be how they’re approaching this)

Memmy is developing at a crazy fast rate - it’s leapfrogged Mlem in features and stability already imho.

too little, too late.

You’re way too aggressive about this. You can join any other instance and access the same content, or start your own. Nobody is “silencing” you.

If you want absolute control over what instances you’re federated with, start your own instance. Otherwise, find one that’s more closely aligned to your views.

As others have said, this is one of the main points of federated networks, if you don’t like how an instance is run, you can take your ball and go play somewhere else.

But if they behaved like this, other instances would just block them from federation (“seeing out” to other instances) and they’d be isolated in their own little silo. That’s the beauty of federated networks - bad actors will be naturally pushed out and isolated.

Yeah, I agree with it feeling “off” - can’t put my finger on exactly why. It feels like someone’s hobby project, as in one single person. The UI feels cluttered and not well thought out.

As other people have pointed out too, it gives me a weird vibe that there’s no information about who created it, who controls it, how it’s moderated. And the domain was registered on GoDaddy like three months ago… just feels really off to me.

I’m confused about what they would be suing for? Based on the example of Nintendo, if people were sharing links to download Switch games or something, yeah then you would have a copyright concern.

But Nintendo can’t sue anyone for simply talking about Nintendo products. Forums have existed since the birth of the internet, and they’ll exist long after whatever happens to Reddit, for example.

I had to remove it from my Home Screen just because of the muscle memory. I’ve opened and immediately closed it so many times today.

Isn’t the whole point of federation to allow users to choose the instance they want to use? I think it sets a bad precedent if instances were to block them from federating entirely without reason simply because that instance happens to be run by Meta.

If anything, this would be a huge boon for federated networks and ActivityPub as a whole to have participation from such a large-scale user base.

And there are a lot of people out there who would be scared away from the technical learning curve of things like Lemmy, Mastodon, etc - giving them a more “conventional” way to participate in federated networks is a great way to get people acquainted.

More participation is a good thing.

Glad to know Clonezilla does work for the deck - it’s one of my favorite tools and what I use for full system images on all my computers.

You probably want a tool like Clonezilla that will image and clone the existing M.2 drive to the new drive.

The simplest way would likely be to use a USB-C hub on your Steam Deck, plug in your new M.2 and adapter, and boot Clonezilla from a flash drive to do the image/clone. Then install the new M.2 and you theoretically should be good to go.

I’m not fully familiar with SteamOS’s partition structure so there’s a chance for some compatibility issues with the SteamOS bootloader or something like that, but worst-case scenario would be you just do a clean install of SteamOS on the new M.2 if the clone doesn’t work.

It’s like they actively want to drive users away. I know a lot of people have said this, but it really feels like Reddit is about to have its Digg moment.
