A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've never experienced the limited comments but it does constantly send an intrusive popup at the bottom of the screen that forces me to respond if I want to continue on my browser or go to download the app.
Also I have to switch to desktop mode to access certain features such as uploading a picture or a video when creating a new post. The Reddit mobile site only lets you make text or link posts.
All of this functionality could easily be added to the mobile site but it's clear they're hobbling the mobile site to annoy people into downloading the official Reddit app where they will have greater access to your personal data.
Yeah, it's refreshing to see how quickly Lemmy is able to load. I used to just barely load the reddit mobile site and launch in infinity, but now I'm gonna do my scrolling on Lemmy. I'm sure it will be healthier without so much doom. Watching so many social medias burn is kinda entertaining.
