What is #1 overall?

I also prefer scrolling ebooks, and I settled on Librera. I have not found a way to get rid of the blank newline between each “page”, but it’s still better than turning pages.

I’ve used Lemmur in the past

I know you didn’t say anything about disliking mobile apps or that it had soured your experience, but definitely do not compare the mobile site to something as outdated as Lemmur lol

It also has the extra benefit that it syncs my browsing history to desktop so you pick up where you left off.

Not sure about other clients, but Thunder sure syncs your history with desktop just fine

Then again, I refuse to get the Reddit app and still use old.reddit.com on mobile (it’s just as annoying as you assume and you have to zoom in and out to click on stuff but I’m used to it by now, also I’m barely using Reddit anymore so that helps too)

There is an extension that makes old Reddit mobile friendly

Those on the other side, are there any killer features that apps give that I’m missing?

The main thing that keeps me sticking to Thunder on mobile is gestures. I want to be able to swipe right from anywhere onscreen in order to go back a page. Trying to mimic that behaviour in a mobile browser is clunky.

Another benefit of some mobile apps that the default Lemmy UI does not have is keyword filters. More info on that: https://feddit.org/post/3857608

I refuse. (spoilers)

This instance is the the default for all the mobile apps.

Voyager just switched its default to lemm.ee in v2.20.0 last week.

Extreme couponing

There’s a big star trek instance.

The main Star Trek meme subreddit even has a stickied thread that directs people to Lemmy:

Lastly, it’s no secret that Reddit dot com has changed into a wannabe meta poser d1ck gobbling for profit he-gets-us trash hole. If you are as sick of that shit as I am, join us at startrek.website for another fun version of risa and other great trek discussions. It’s kind of like here, just less convenient, and no spez grifting in sight.

The allure of the potential for “security through obscurity” is great if you don’t know better.

I had no idea that was actually a real thing

I just know of the two types of games

Any promising forks?

Retroid Pocket Mini

Also, is it common for a legitimate government agency to use a third-party link shortener like bitly?

I had definitely noticed things were more quiet than usual on English Lemmy, so I figured it was just the Americans being busy with that.

I do not see any documentation, but here is the pull request for the feature that was added in v0.19.4

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4425

If the URL being posted is anything other than an image, yes. If the URL being posted is a video, an article, an MP3, whatever. If you don’t want to leave it up to Lemmy to try to grab a thumbnail do display for the post, you have the option to expicitly specify the thumbnail image to be used.

On the other hand, if the URL that you are posting is itself an image (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, whatever), you might notice that the “Thumbnail URL” field disappears. Because Lemmy will use the image you are posting as the thumbnail.

And that password is written on a scrap of paper attached to my monitor. Perfect security.

The “sale” price you see here is effectively the “standard” price. Publishers know that most users will just wait for a sale to make their purchase, and that those too desperate to wait will be willing to pay any inflated “full” price they set.
