  Something else to keep in mind is that most Redditors nowadays (like Twitter and Bluesky users) are mobile users. I think a lot of Lemmy mobile apps have a good UI and solve that problem. However, it’s hard to point new users at a single website/app/etc to join. Bluesky does that. Obviously, that’s bad for decentralization, but Bluesky is also still a beta protocol that’s headed toward decentralization at some point. Their single instance was necessary for them at the start.

  When a new/small social media platform that acts as an alternative of a bigger platform pops up, one of the common topics on the alternative are people talking about how it’s better than the old place and/or just trashing the old place. Eventually, they outgrow that (assuming that platform survives). I feel like that’s happened with Bluesky. Browsing it, everyone seems to be talking about their own usual topics now, and I see very few posts calling out Twitter or comparing Bluesky to Twitter nowadays.

  Lemmy still feels like it’s in that “bash the old place” stage to me. Maybe ~20% or posts I see are talking about Reddit or talking about Lemmy in relation to Reddit. It’s annoying.

  An update in the last year added a “feature” where, when I search something, if my query is even vaguely close to the name of an app on my phone, Android will open that app instead of doing my search. I, for the life of me, haven’t been able to figure out how to disable it. That alone made me hate Android.

  Off the top of my head, not counting the plethora of gift cards:

  • A first edition Kindle Fire a month after it released. For being tech-illiterate, she ended up loving it and upgraded a few times through the years.

  • Several Roku boxes and Fire TV sticks, which are just now getting used because my parents are finally cutting the cord.

  • Lots of concert tickets for various bands, including Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Kiss.

  • 1-week all expenses paid trip to Nashville for some big New Year’s party that some celebs showed up to.

  • $600 cowboy boots.

  • $300 KitchenAid mixer.

  • A full set of Paula Dean cookware, and she LOVES Paula Dean.

  Not OP but my mom enters literally every contest she sees and has won a surprising amount.
