It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended… “Infinity” is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200…
To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype…

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload…
Fuck you Reddit and Steve Huffman…good riddance.
TF is BeReal? Never heard of it
It’s a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.
The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don’t post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.
The problem is monetisation. You don’t use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn’t have any ads. So I don’t know how low they’re able to do this without shutting down
And if you don’t have any friends IRL that use it, it’s pretty boring
Sounds like an excellent idea for some top-notch data farming.
That can be said about any app.
Unprepared pictures are a treasure trove for behavioural analysis tho
It’s 99% people sitting in front of a computer
Or lying in bed
They could make you watch an ad to take your BeReal. They’d have to sell the one spot for a lot though. And people are already too lazy to take the pic when they’re supposed to a lot so they’d probably just lose most of their members.
You get a random notification every day to publish a photo (camera only). You can upload 3 pictures if your first one has been published (I think) 2 minutes after you received the notification to upload. Else you can only publish one photo per day.
I guess the idea is to show your friends what you are currently doing without giving you time to prepare yourself / your environment…
So in other words it’s a single notification a day I’ll not notice before the window long expired. Hrm.
Then you can just post a late. You just get blamed for being late and don’t get any extra photos you can take whenever you want to before the next day
Oh I think I’ve heard of it but wtf how is it popular?
Maybe because the concept is antithetical to stuff like Instagram, which makes it fun and refreshing - you know seeing “real” stuff and not highly filtered and planned stuff all the time.
Different guy but I share in his confusion. I guess I don’t understand why people like Instagram either. For me it got old almost immediately and the ads on the Instagram app were worse than anything else I’ve ever used to this day. I just don’t see the appeal and much less so for a knock-off.
⚠️Time to BeReal.⚠️
I just checked the playstore from the US. Same thing, not on the top 200 at all. Relay for Reddit is at 141. Fucking Truth Social is at 16. Reddit is still an editors choice app though.
Editor might wanna try another career field
Ah, Truth Social isn’t really a thing outside the US afaik. Wikipedia says you need an US-American or British phone number to register (not that I wanted to do anyways)
Fedilab is #1 in the “Top Paid” category! (US)
Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.
Same here in Austria. Infinity+ is second place (Does the paid version still work?)
Who’d have thought that arbitrary despotism had consequences?
Apparently not this guy:
“removed by moderator for violating Reddit’s content policy” I’ve been using Reddit for years, but recently it’s kinda annoying…
I haven’t been on there since the first blackout
Funny, since my Infinity still works somehow. No clue why, but maybe that’s why it’s on the list.
Yup, the API is still free if you don’t use it commercially if I’m informed correctly (commercially includes app subscriptions, ads and asking for donations)
Try visiting an NSFW sub tho

Es ist nicht viel, aber es ist ehrliche Arbeit
