    Aren’t we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?

    After the meltdown that occurred when Reddit ultra monetize their API Lemmy acquired a lot more casual users. Especially when makers of Reddit apps switched over to making Lemmy apps instead.

      I was one of those people. But statistically, even the people who migrated from Reddit to here are not “normies”. My “normie” friends (which is all of them 🥲) just kept on using Reddit and didn’t notice anything. They weren’t even using 3rd party apps.

        My point is just that Lemmy is no longer made up of just Linux nerds. Over the course of the last couple of years the user base has diversified quite a bit.

          What truly blows my mind is the amount of requests the 1st party Reddit app sends home. Back when I was using Sync I still had the app installed, but then I set up AdguardHome and saw that my phone was spamming requests. Checked the logs and found out that the 1st party app, which I wasn’t even using for months, was “phoning home” literally every 10 seconds! Besides privacy concerns, that can’t be good for battery life. Nuked the app then and there. I’ll take the nagging, thank you.
