The way they have done it is not by restricting other services directly, but by continuing to apply bandwidth/quotas to them while bypassing them for their own services "for free"
Which is why people are hesitant to give them money, no?
Be sure to enable "list" view for posts
Are you going to ignore the rest of what I wrote? lol
Have you ever used “RIF is fun” for reddit? It is amazing, lots of tiny UI optimizations make it a pleasure to consume content much faster than scrolling up and down reddit’s UI for both links and comments
The app just feels better/faster. Think of this way: a webapp = browser + pwa. You have all of the resource requirements of the browser itself, plus whatever it needs to render the html/css of the webapp running on top of that. many webapps are just written so poorly (like the new reddit page) that the browser struggles to do simple things like smooth scrolling). Plus being native means there is better support for things like save/print dialogs, themes/dark mode, helper apps/intents, etc)
If none of this matters to you and a webapp feels ok to you, that's great! use what you want! I'm happy for you
But you came in here asking why people prefer native apps and we gave you an answer, you don't have to be antagonistic
Problem is lemmy.world was overloaded, so that's why I did lemm.ee. is even accepting signups again yet?

I accidentally unset Undetermined and was missing a lot of content on my front page.
- Start at lemmy.world, click the magnyfying glass up top to search.

I have a comment here wishing it could be better :/

To me, properly optimized native apps tend to be less-bloated than their web equivalents. Have you ever used "RIF is fun" for reddit? It is amazing, lots of tiny UI optimizations make it a pleasure to consume content much faster than scrolling up and down reddit's UI for both links and comments

you know what I really wish, some easier way to be able to subscribe to a community on a remote instance from your own account. Like a shared login or some browser extension that sees you're on a lemmy and allows you to subscribe from your account back home
maybe I'm using it wrong, but right now If I'm browsing lemmy explorer and find a community on a lemmy.ca, I have to copy it then go back to my local lemmy where I have my account to add it
So where are we hosting images? Is there a distributed/fedi equivalent of imgur?
I tried uploading a pic w/ the "upload image" but it didn't really work, post showed as text-only, so I resorted back to imgur. But is there an alternative we should be using?

Found a killer deal on Craigslist today, couldn't believe my luck!
What happens if the lemmy instance where I signed up goes offline?
Can i move my account to some other server?
I like going to movie theaters to watch a movie, AC is always blasting
Felt like I was hacking the matrix just trying to sign-up and post anything on here, lol
