Maybe it's because reviews like "fuck u/spez, use lemmy instead" contain word "lemmy"?

[-] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 52 points 2 years ago

Yes

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's probably part of it, but there's definitely more factors. I trust the Play Store is able to align user patterns , like how 99.9% of users searching for and downloading a Lemmy app at one point downloaded a Reddit app.

then we need to be uninstalling reddit and installing porn social apps immediately after. enough people do it and...

I accidentally deleted comment when trying to edit. You still might be able to see it from different instances due to how ActivityPub works.

Reddit - the shitty corporate Lemmy alternative

[-] SapienSRC@lemmy.world 50 points 2 years ago

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that's not too big of a surprise

[-] bulwark@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

Dang, I saw Boost for Lemmy on there and got excited for a moment. I can't wait.

[-] Alivrah@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Pre-signed. Can't wait for the release!

Boost for Reddit was great to me. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out and even be able to support the devs

[-] TwanHE@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'll defo support boost once it comes out. Even if I still end up using another app, was too late for the Reddit version.

At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.

Now I'm using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.

I'm waiting for Sync 😊

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Connect had some issues until recently, but it seems to be working better now

Google play store is cringe.

[-] GatoB@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Google ~~play store~~ is cringe

[-] tcj@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

They're one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they're constantly making major redesigns for no reason.

[-] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 6 points 2 years ago

Google domains was the one I least expected to be killed.

I'm more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.

[-] starman@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For me it's:

~~Official~~ shitty reddit app
to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
Discord
Another 3rd party app
LinkedIn
Twitter
PUBG mobile
Pinterest
Some AI shit
Genshin impact
to ∞. mostly games

They do not.

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

Can't wait for Boost!

[-] sneezy@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

What's Fedilab?

[-] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it's a universal app to access all kinds of fediverse apps, like mastodon, calckey, etc.

[-] amiuhle@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

So it's a browser?

[-] Kushi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It's a generic ActivityPub client.

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

It's a proper app that can parse and follow fedi links internally, and has the native feel you can't really get with a web app.

I stopped using an "app" for Lemmy. Now that m.lemmy.world has wefwef built in, the web app is perfect. Honestly better than most of the native apps out there.

[-] wilberfan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Whoa, wait. WefWef (now "Voyager") BUILT IN? How slick is that! (Voyager is one of my fav ways to lemmy...) 😎

That is reasonable. It is a more popular (by installation numbers) that fills a similar niche and close to 100% of everyone that installs a Lemmy app also installed a reddit app at some point. The algoritm should recommend reddit if you search for Lemmy
