Why !politics and !news are US centric and then we have !worldnews for the rest of the world? Am I the only one finding this slightly arrogant?

    It’s because a lot of people migrating from Reddit landed on .world and created or found their familiar named communities and that’s how it was on Reddit - US centric top level type communities.

    Is .world the best place for US centric communities? Maybe not just based on nomenclature but since you asked why, that’s the reasoning. It’s in the description of Politics specifically (it even calls out migrating Redditors).

    The ‘most comments’ with the clock next to it is still sort by new, it’s just mislabeled. Devs are aware :)

    Font size issues have been reported and devs are aware of that too :)

    DB3 was kind of a mess with the keyboard but I’m finding it more stable now.

    Looks also like there was a fix to a bug when on an active call where the screen would flash randomly - now it stays steady. Must have been a bug in the new active call screen that got squashed.

    DB4 seems more stable and also seems to be a little more battery friendly from what I’ve seen so far.

    So basically, I agree with your points as things I have also noticed so far.

    Are you on the App Store version or TestFlight version?

    I ask because I’m on the latest TestFlight build and your spoiler is hiding for me.

    And open:

    Edit: I pulled this post up on the web and saw your spoilers were empty. Did you put any text in there?

    spoilers under the arrow (for test purposes)

    Test text for spoiler rendering — this can be seen in Memmy okay - hi anyone else looking on TestFlight version 0.5 (4)

    I’ve never had the camera pull up from swiping right to left except from the Lock Screen, otherwise it just uses whatever app’s swipe controls are or from the Home Screen it goes into my second screen or App Library.

    Same left to right, an active app uses its controls, the Home Screen or Lock Screen pulls up a widget drawer.

    What app are you trying to use that has Apple’s Home Screen swipe commands overriding the app?

    Memmy’s on the App Store now. It does still have a TestFlight if there are any spots available but the app store’s version is currently up to date.

    You kinda can, as long as someone in your household with an iPhone can set up the watch for your daughter as a family member. Someone has to have an iPhone in order to deal with setup and any access control and some features won’t be available without a companion iPhone, but it might be sufficient for your daughter’s needs. Then she can sign into the same iCloud account on the iPad. I can’t speak to how well it’ll behave between those two devices on the same iCloud account and how well anything like handoff or continuity will work because I haven’t had need to try it, but if you wanted her to have a watch and no phone I think this is the only way to do it right now.

    How do you think Meta and other similar companies attract advertisers? They sell ad space to them with the ability to highly target ads to their users.

    That’s what I mean by sell - they are literally letting advertisers buy ads to target to all of the people who they’ve gotten information about that would most likely click on and convert to buyers. Non-targeted ads are significantly less valuable from an advertising standpoint because if they don’t apply to you, you’re more likely to ignore it and the advertiser is getting less money back on their ad purchase investment.

    I love how you say ‘almost every app’ and then your three examples include two Meta apps and also Twitter. Their whole business models are to gather as much as possible to sell.

    Not every app needs your health data, financial information, and usage data to send short messages to their friends. I get wanting a certain amount of data in order to do certain things but needing basically everything possible frankly SHOULD BE eye opening to people if they didn’t already know.

    Funnily enough, it scales correctly in traverse for me but not in search. It’s not terrible, but it’s a little wonky.

    I have mine in stage manager windows and even with it not being priority right now for the devs it’s still mostly excellent, which I find pleasantly surprising.

    In case anyone wanted the non-beta or couldn’t get in because TestFlight was full, this just popped in about an hour ago. Congratulations to the dev team!
