Google made it official that important apps like Messaging and Dialer are no longer maintained in the Android Open Source project. A free Android on its own is pretty much useless now.

The r/OpenStreetMap subreddit is temporarily closing for a few days, as part of the site wide protest against the proposed new reddit changes which would adversely affect the community there.

Boost this post if you support using #Lemmy or #kbin as replacement of #Reddit

OK, #RedditMigration here are a few links to help you find a new home on the #Fediverse :

Lemmy: https://join-lemmy.org/, https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

...and create a Mastodon account (https://joinmastodon.org/). We are all connected!

204 users on the new lemmy instance already 🔥

The history of digital sound has a curveball in it I didn't expect - years before the CD existed, you could buy a digital audio recorder and make your own digital recordings at home!

If, that is, you also had a VCR.

Reddit’s CEO is doing an AMA at some point today.. that’s gonna to be a bloodbath

But I just hope he realizes how shitty what he’s doing to all 3rd party apps actually is. No indie devs deserve to go through this

I’m sorry to all 3rd party #Reddit app devs on both Android and iOS that are going through this now. Luckily it seems the community is being very actively supporting the devs and the blackout for June 12

Personally, I’ll really miss #Apollo

"Right now I'm considering the possibility of modifying the app to connect to a Reddit alternative such as Lemmy or Mastodon. There would be something very satisfying about some of the bigger Reddit apps driving their userbase to alternative sites too, and if this helped one of those platforms gain traction then that would be a step in the right direction." -RedReader (Reddit client dev) via https://old.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/13ylk42/update_3_reddit_effectively_kills_off_third_party/ #fediverse #FediDev #RedditMigration

thanks to @uthredii for posting about this

the asklemmy community is super active: https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
really interesting to see this #RedditMigration happen right now

The way #Reddit handles third-party apps I am really considering deleting my accounts even though I liked using Reddit and would have even paid a subscription for Apollo (I’m a lifetime ultra-member currently).

Apollo about client down because of the new API-pricing. https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

This week I got to try out the Apple Vision Pro – in an exclusive hands-on experience at Apple Park.

On this episode of Cortex, I recount my entire experience to Grey and talk about what I think this could mean for the future of computing.

Ah, it’s happening #lemmy.ml writes that they start not being able to keep up with the wave and that people should join other servers

Meanwhile i woke up to the longest line of people trying to join #tchncs so far^^
I should tweak a thing or two today just in case – meaning a few seconds of downtime as it will require a restart.

So as I understand it, on #Lemmy /#Kbin every instance has its own set of "subreddits" and they can overlap. It's up to the instance admin to create these, and assign mods.

You can--of course--subscribe and post to "communities" or "magazines" on other instances; similar to "channels" in #Peertube.

I think this is confusing, but important for new users to understand as they migrate from #reddit.

The instance you're on doesn't have to have *all* the subreddits.
