It's in the middle of Detroit. Even at 50k, you'll lose money on that investment.

Fair enough. I'm surprised there isn't a more obvious release date on the front section of the App Store. Might be useful to know how long a product has been available.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.
Same. The fact that Lemmy has several iOS apps also sealed the deal, as I do almost all my browsing on mobile. I made an account on KBin at the same time, and an eagerly watching both to see how they develop, but Lemmy just has more to offer right now.
Hi! I'm in the same boat (or lifeboat, as it were). So far, I have to say I'm impressed with Lemmy and the various apps that are racing to become the most polished and feature-packed. I hope you find yourself at home here too.
That's a good point! I admit I avoided sorting by "new" on Reddit just because of the sheer amount of garbage that was posted, especially in popular subreddits. But this is a whole new community and that's definitely less of a problem. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
That's awesome. It actually just looks like a completely blank post to me (using Mlem on iPhone), but I assume that's just because there's a lot of bugs left to iron out, and features to implement. Excited to see these apps after a few more months.
Totally agree. Discussions are more engaging here, and posts are more relevant to their communities. You'll hear some people try to explain that this is just due to the smaller user base, and it'll quickly become less friendly as it gains more people... but I don't think so. For one, the lack of an overall "score" for each user (like Reddit's karma) means there is no value in creating re-posting bots that try to capture the maximum number of upvotes by copying older successful material. Less bots posting old content means more real people posting current ideas.
They wouldn't have a case, since this other app can prove they've been available under that name for 4 years. However, I bet the low-ball offers to buy the app and domain have already started. I wonder what number they'll eventually settle on...
