Thousands of subreddits chose to go dark in an ongoing protest over the company's plan to start charging certain third-party developers to access the site’s data.
Wow. Front page of huffpost.com right now. Interesting…
Oh well, here I am, glad to join this ship. I just want a reliable place I can further geek out on mechanical keyboards, memes and news. I hope we migrate somewhere cause reddit does not look like it has a bright future.
Just fyi, when posting links to communities, you should just use the “/c/” without the link to the instance. Like this: /c/mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml
This is similar to how those links were done on reddit (/r/). The problem with your link is that it is instance specific, which is really helpful for anyone in your instance, but anyone in a different instance will be thrown out of their instance if they click it (they’ll be unable to subscribe).
just remember that jerboa is very much in alpha and needs more developers to implement the finer stuff like this.
the guy currently working on it is also a developer of lemmy itself, so he doesnt have much time for the app. if you happen to have some android dev knowledge, please see if you could contribute!
oh shoot, I’m not familiar with it at all myself and didn’t know it needed you to have decent specs.
out of curiosity, what sort of specs are required at bare minimum and why? I’m guessing maybe for the android emulator to work properly, though in this age of insane, bloated electron software, anything could be the culprit, even the IDE :')
According to most delvopers, you need at least 8gbs of ram and a half decent CPU. For best results 16+GB of ram is better running the emulator. You can thank google getting jetbeans to make the IDE for the language (kotlin)
Welcome! I’m super stoked to be here, too. And each day this community seems to grow stronger.
I agree that reddit’s future looks weak. The API change was horrible. Spez’s approach to the whole thing was even worse: condescending, disingenuous, and hostile.
And the more I think about it, the less I see any hope for reddit as a place I want to spend time. This isn’t just one bad episode. Once the company goes public, there’s going to be more shit like this. The site will slowly gut itself for perceived short-term gains, over and over again.
the problem with shareholders is that they always and forever need to see a chart that’s in a growing trend. That line is getting kind of stagnant there mate how you gonna please us?
What makes this problematic is that there will be a finite number of users for this infinitely growing service, sooner or later growth will have to slow and this does NOT please the shareholder. Where are the gains bro? I was promised gains.

When I click your link, I’m getting kicked out of Jerboa…
me too, but still helpful advice for web users

I wanted to get into android dev space but I don’t have a computer powerful enough.
