This perfectly explains the demise of BlackBerry phones too.

I’m all about the air hockey table.
Connect is much like Sync. In fact, I uninstalled Sync and went back to Connect.
No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.
It’s like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.
The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎
Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I’m Canadian and the instance is in my country.
I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.
I used Sync for Reddit. The dev seems close to releasing the beta of Sync for Lemmy.
Connect for Lemmy has been a very nice alternative, especially after the most recent update. I might be torn once Sync is out.
I already subscribed there. Thanks!
They all appear to be in development, but yes.
I’d have to research if your weather is more extreme than ours or not.
I’ve yet to visit the Maritimes. It’s on my wishlist.
How does that “help” their feed? What possible benefit could there be in using a bot to subscribe willy-nilly to every community out there, no matter how shitty it is?
I don’t know… You made it sound like the only way for me to have more communities show up in my All feed on lemmy.ca would be if a volunteer on lemmy.ca, be it a bot or mod, subscribed to all the communities they could find. Hense seeing top posts from All communities. And I only meant for a bot or mod to just subscribe. Not to repost everything.
If that isn’t how it works, sorry. It is why I asked if that would work or not.
They have over a billion monthly users, so I’m not sure they’re dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.
But… You reminded me I’ve been wanting to look into using PixelFed.
Considering here in Winnipeg, Canada, where it reaches -35C or even colder, it was pretty wild having weeks on end of +30C to even +39C temperatures, and so soon into our summer.
I never want to complain about the heat when we have snow for 7 months, but that was ridiculous.
So, would it be wise and helpful for a mod or bot per instance to subscribe to as many communities as possible to help the instance’s feed?
I don’t mean this comment to be facetious towards OP.
Seeing reports that interest died down on a newly released item, be it a game, social media, or tv series, is just to be expected. May as well report that water is still wet.
It’s because of those Facebook surveys I never choose those questions.
I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie so many times as a kid I can still lip sync most of the film to this day.
I’ve also watched Space Balls and Monty Python and the Holy Grail more times than I can count.
Off-topic. Your visible username is wild.
Yeah, the novelty of it will fizzle out. Some will call it their new home. Others will go back to Twitter or other. Some will check back in periodically.
I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.
