Such a small amount of users on Reddit submit links or comment. The thing that they “won” was splitting a portion of their community of power users who maintain and create the content on their site from the masses who simply consume and doom scroll the main page. I am happy with the type of discussion that is happening on Lemmy, I don’t need a post to have 7000 upvotes or a comment to have 1500 votes and a shit load of coins attached to it to make it valuable or interesting.
Reddit for me was a place to develop niche hobbies and talk about them with other people without having to overwhelm the people around me with opinions on pottery or which is the clackiest keyboard imaginable.
Lack of tags or a working search feature broke it for me, I use twitter for news not to see quips from influencers I’ve never heard of. I might check it out again when it’s something other than marginally famous internet celebrities screaming into an empty void.
I’ve gotten used to holding onto my phones longer and skipping several phone releases at a time (Nexus 6 > Pixel 2 XL > Pixel 6 XL) and I don’t really feel like I can continue to do that with a foldable based on the durability questions from the main screen. The prospect of a smaller device in my pocket is the big factor in wanting one and every time a new flip device comes out I find myself doing the same research hoping there is a magic bullet that solves the screen durability or de-lamination issues.
I haven’t shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I’m eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I’d love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to...
I have to carry two phones due to my job and have been considering a flip to shrink the overall footprint of devices in my pockets. I can’t tell if the screen protector issues on previous models is overblown or not, but it feels like a real love it or hate it device.
