Agreed, while the subject is interesting the data itself isn’t presented in a particularly nice way.

Hard agree. A few years back I was a member of a local subreddit that only had one mod. It was small enough that they were able to keep up with spam/moderating. Then one day it started getting brigaded by one of the racist subreddits. One of the many ones that had an unrepeatable name (variant on a racial slur) that’s since been banned.

We later found out that sole mod had gone camping for a few days, so there was no one to remove all the explicit racism and ban people. They immediately cleaned up and notified admins when they got back, but I can see how quickly a community can turn awful if you don’t have dedicated mods.

I want to add, that my wife has been a “scab” throughout all this and has been active on reddit, trying to show me memes and such.

Seems like grounds for a divorce.

I kid of course! My girlfriend is staying off Reddit, but she’s definitely missing it and hasn’t found a good substitute for her mix of subreddits yet. It’s especially rough since twitter’s gone downhill, and that was her other main scrollable content.

No problem! Fair warning, it crashes pretty frequently for me so I’m mostly sticking with the browser for now. Also it expands every post in your feed, so you need to scroll through the introduction post stickied to the top of lemmy.world every time you reload the app.

I’m going to keep checking the app out though since it’s a nice start and is clearly gonna improve.

This iOS App Store link should automatically handle that: https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc

I hadn’t thought about it that way, but you’re right. It’s consistent with Reddit’s past philosophy too: if Reddit doesn’t want to devote the resources to add a feature, they let third party developers do it for them for free.
