It looks like civ5 or 6

Ahh gotcha, I wasn’t sure. And yeah the Liberals here are like progressive classic conservatives. They’re not insane like current conservatives but they like to maintain the current status quo and will occasionally give us something like dental care but limit it to a very small subset of people. And that’s only if forced to by the supporting left leaning party (NDP).

I think you’re confusing the US definition of liberal with the definition of liberal in near the rest of the world. Even in Canada the Liberals are centre at best

I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you need but I know sonarr (shows) and radarr (movies) can scan added media and do upgrades

Not American but the US had an extremely high tax rate on the rich for most of its prosperous years. It was only recent removed and you now have massive wealth inequality

He kind of already has implemented something like this. If you ever try and load a mobile reddit thread in your browser, you’re greeted with a download the app-wall like 50% or more of the time.

it’s better in the app

So far my favourite is Memmy but I really like Wefwef too

Honestly I’m sure a lot (or at least some) of the reddit employees who have been there for longer feel the same way as we do. I can imagine if you joined back when reddit was open source or even shortly after, seeing reddit go down this path would be upsetting.

I know if my company decided to screw over our users this badly, my morale would be non existant. Most people don’t have that much loyalty to their companies and reddit would be no different

I’m actually surprised they can’t get more WhatsApp data considering it’s Facebook. I know WhatsApp’s thing is encryption but… It’s Facebook

It’s pretty nice if you’re into programming articles! I wouldn’t say it’s a full reddit replacement since it’s more geared to programmers, similar to hacker news but I think it’s worth having around. There’s also a decent mobile app for iOS called Claw

Thank you so much! Do you want a lobste.rs invite?

I’d also love an invite as well if anyone has one. I can return the favour with an invite to lobste.rs :)

If a federated wiki could replace fandom.com I would be so happy. That site is a nightmare of ads on mobile and needs to be replaced.

It’d be hilarious to see them try to hand your own personal page to a random other person to moderate. It makes no sense

These spam bots wouldn’t list themselves as bots so that wouldn’t work

But Reddit and SO are the only two results that give me the answers I need/want

I can definitely see something like that being made as ActivityPub builds up steam

You can start with smaller pieces of the app! Like one thing you can do is to try learning a bit of Python and play around by making simple requests to a Lemmy API to print off a list of posts from the front page.

For learning I’d recommend checking out Codecademy. I got my start with programming there like 10 years ago and I feel like I owe a lot to the website. They have fully interactive tutorials and give you a great starting point.

Good luck! :)

Do you have programming experience? I can’t tell from your post if you’re looking for API resources or general programming resources. If it’s your first time programming, making an app like that might be a bit of an overwhelming first project unfortunately

This is what I switched to (and what I’m replying through), and I really like it. Definitely still needs more pollish but it’s a lot more fleshed out
