I just read a post that said “don’t worry, we haven’t just abandoned Memmy”, which is great…but that post is two months old. What’s going on?

My background is in telecommunications (the technical side of video production), so I know that 30fps is (or was?) considered the standard for a lot of video. TV and movies don’t seem choppy when I watch them, so why does doubling the frame rate seem to matter so much when it comes to games? Reviewers mention it constantly, and I don’t understand why.

I almost exclusively use Memmy on my iPad, so I didn’t notice this for a while.

Sometimes I get the “submit logs” screen. I dutifully click the link to submit the logs. I thought I was helping. Then, the other day, Memmy crashed when I was using it on my phone instead of my iPad. I clicked “submit logs” as usual… and my phone actually seemed like it was doing something. I’ve never noticed that on my iPad.

That made me wonder - is the Submit Logs feature on iPad just much more subtle, or is it actually broken?

I’ll be happy to provide specifics about my hardware/software upon request.

I read this wondering if there would be something strange, or an overreaction. There’s nothing like that at all. It’s basically just a law that forces tech companies to respect people and their right to privacy. Most of it is common sense stuff that you think they should do without having to be told.

Then you remember that there’s money involved, and people think ethics are too expensive.

I used to write it up to market share. Decades ago, it seemed like every other day someone wrote an article about how Apple was doomed. I figured it just wasn’t efficient to mess with Apple stuff when you could mess with Windows.

That’s not as much of an issue anymore, but is it still the main reason? Is there a technical issue as well?

The spammers have broken in and started posting links to sites I’ve never heard of. I must have blocked a dozen users today.

I frequently notice typos, grammatical errors, poor wording, etc. in my comments shortly after posting, so I edit them. Do those edits get shared among servers as quickly as the initial post did?

Sorry, I know this question has been asked and answered a thousand times, but I’ve read about so many apps lately that I don’t remember which has plans for what.

Will Memmy eventually be compatible with Kbin?

I have accounts on several instances. When I seemingly switch between instances (using the drop-down menu at the top of the screen), the posts remain the same. For example, posts stickied by mods on Beehaw will still be visible when I switch to lemmy.world. My profile won’t be visible, either.

Apologies, I don’t know how to report bugs. Is this a known issue? Is the answer something obvious that I can fix myself? Do I even report bugs here? Do you need more information? Please excuse my ignorance, and THANK YOU for a great app (which I’m using right now)!

I’d like different color themes for each instance, to help me keep track of which instance I’m on.

I just read a story on the Wall Street Journal. I don’t subscribe to the WSJ, and ordinarily would have been stopped by a paywall - however, @trashhalo was kind enough to post a readable archived link. I’ve run into this before, appreciated it each time, and hope it becomes standard practice when dealing with paywalled articles.

That’s all. Thanks, everyone!

I see how to block specific users or entire communities, but not how to hide individual posts. Is this even an option? There are some posts which don’t apply to me, and I don’t want to see anymore, but I don’t want to block the user or community.
