Haha thanks, I’m subbed to there!! 😊

Literally though!! There’s zero money in our budget for recreation, including streaming services or eating out. That’s what happens when your housing costs go up 500 a month and your income doesn’t 🤪

Also if I check my feed it’s at least half “suggested posts” from subs I’m not subscribed to, which really seems to defeat the purpose of what people liked about Reddit in the first place. Not that I like them anymore anyways but it’s amazing how much they can continue to self destruct the user experience

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn’t thought of whether or why it was closed source! I’ve seen nothing but good intentions from Kitboga and his team, but I can’t know everything obviously so I’m glad you’re pointing that out!

I hear you, monthly subscriptions can be a killer financially. The team that made this knew that releasing the free version might hurt their finances in the long run but they genuinely want to help protect people from being scammed.

I will say the paid version is as cheap as they could possibly make it, they may have to up the price in the future to keep paying staff but I appreciate how much they’re trying to make it accessible.

If I was in a position to I’d pay for the subs for my parents and grandparents (maybe in the future), but at least I was able to get them the free version for now!

I’ve never heard of this, I’m gonna look it up and learn more!

Aaaahhhh same!!! His face is in all my screenshots because I always have his videos on in the background 😆

Yeah!! Kitboga actually answered this question on a recent stream, I know for sure the premium version you can whitelist any site. Not sure about the free version! Kitboga said it’s the most common question he gets 😂

I’m totally hearing this in the voices of Stan and Cartman from South Park

The username makes this even better

I think the part these points miss is that a lot of kids don’t have good or involved parents, and they shouldn’t have to suffer disproportionately because of it

They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!

Personally I still use other websites to get news about niche topics sinse Lemmy is small, but I genuinely much prefer Lemmy for general memes news and whatever else pops up! I genuinely think the funny post are much better than on Reddit.

Me too; I prefer Lemmy now but I’ve gone to specific subs on Reddit when I didn’t know where else to find certain info and I’ve noticed a serious reduction in both quantity and quality of posts. I kept wondering if it was in my head but it’s so many different subs I think it must be the case. Good riddance!

I kept reading it as Daniel Radcliffe and I was like why the HECK is he working there?

Say Goodnight Kevin, we miss you 😭

Thank you, that sub was great for teaching me (someone who is not tech savvy) how to use Lemmy!! Now it’s my favorite place to scroll 😊

I wanna get this so bad but I don’t and I want to be socially accepted by peers so I won’t ask for an explanation

This is the greatest thing I could have seen on the top of my page 😂 Keep spreading the word Lemmings!!

Your username is wonderful 😆
