It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

I’ve never had the camera pull up from swiping right to left except from the Lock Screen, otherwise it just uses whatever app’s swipe controls are or from the Home Screen it goes into my second screen or App Library.

Same left to right, an active app uses its controls, the Home Screen or Lock Screen pulls up a widget drawer.

What app are you trying to use that has Apple’s Home Screen swipe commands overriding the app?

You kinda can, as long as someone in your household with an iPhone can set up the watch for your daughter as a family member. Someone has to have an iPhone in order to deal with setup and any access control and some features won’t be available without a companion iPhone, but it might be sufficient for your daughter’s needs. Then she can sign into the same iCloud account on the iPad. I can’t speak to how well it’ll behave between those two devices on the same iCloud account and how well anything like handoff or continuity will work because I haven’t had need to try it, but if you wanted her to have a watch and no phone I think this is the only way to do it right now.

If they could integrate that development into making Siri better, that’d be great.

How do you think Meta and other similar companies attract advertisers? They sell ad space to them with the ability to highly target ads to their users.

That’s what I mean by sell - they are literally letting advertisers buy ads to target to all of the people who they’ve gotten information about that would most likely click on and convert to buyers. Non-targeted ads are significantly less valuable from an advertising standpoint because if they don’t apply to you, you’re more likely to ignore it and the advertiser is getting less money back on their ad purchase investment.

I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.

Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.

I mean, did anyone think it wasn’t basically spyware?

When you’re trying to find a community, in the search type in the whole URL. So for your example you should be able to make the instance find the community by typing in https://hobbit.world/c/hobbit_art in search all.

Like so:

I have a lemm.ee account and a lemmy.world account. They are exactly the same as far as subscriptions go, my feed remains essentially the same, they’re just for when one has server issues, goes down for maintenance, or is laggy I have another with the same feed to keep my experience pretty much the same.

Considering Meta mines as much data from as many people as possible just to advertise to them and also they can’t even launch Threads in the EU right now because of how aggressively it tracks literally everything about their users and Threads’ only purpose is to gather more data to sell to more people, I think that alone is worth not letting them play.

I gotta say, sometimes I miss my fully customized LED on my blackberry back in the day. It could be in the bottom of a gym bag and I’d still know if I missed a Google Talk message (green) or a Facebook alert (dark blue) or an email (light blue), etc etc etc.

So you’re saying you don’t want insightful, thoughtful comments from u/rimjob_steve this time around?

 

In case anyone wanted the non-beta or couldn’t get in because TestFlight was full, this just popped in about an hour ago.

Congratulations to the dev team!
