It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended… “Infinity” is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200…
To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype…

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload…
TF is BeReal? Never heard of it
You get a random notification every day to publish a photo (camera only). You can upload 3 pictures if your first one has been published (I think) 2 minutes after you received the notification to upload. Else you can only publish one photo per day.
I guess the idea is to show your friends what you are currently doing without giving you time to prepare yourself / your environment…
Maybe because the concept is antithetical to stuff like Instagram, which makes it fun and refreshing - you know seeing “real” stuff and not highly filtered and planned stuff all the time.
Because many gen-z people are pushing back on the relationship us millennials have with social media, and find the attitude that Instagram encourages (curating and showing the best version of your life) unhealthy and anxiety-inducing. So this is an Instagram with no FOMO.
I don’t use BeReal and barely use Instagram but I totally see the point. Instagram is quite unhealthy.
So in other words it’s a single notification a day I’ll not notice before the window long expired. Hrm.
It’s a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.
The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don’t post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.
The problem is monetisation. You don’t use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn’t have any ads. So I don’t know how low they’re able to do this without shutting down
And if you don’t have any friends IRL that use it, it’s pretty boring
⚠️Time to BeReal.⚠️
Funny, since my Infinity still works somehow. No clue why, but maybe that’s why it’s on the list.
Reddit has been banning accounts who are using the API exploit, just fyi
That’s a weird way to put it. In Canada, the category is called “top free”.
Maybe it’s to clarify that you still pay for those apps, but not with money.
Maybe my comment wasn’t clear, I meant the 0€ version. As in, those apps cost 0 money but aren’t “free”. Just an attempt to be snarky.
Lovoo still exists?! Isn’t their CEO in prison due to them creating fake accounts of women in order to squeeze money out of naive men?
