Problem is there isn’t much apps for Lemmy yet. I’m gonna try to contribute to some existing one as I work with iOS dev.

It’s like it doesn’t show in the UI, but after you reload it it is upvoted.

Unless it is named like “throawaylemmy” or something.

Not even mentioning the green bubble problem is a US thing (maybe Canada and Japan too?). Most places around the world don’t have a overwhelming majority of iPhone users creating this network effect.

The biggest reason I see people moving to iPhones recently in my country is Android flagship phones getting more expensive but still offering a bad experience overall for “non geeks”. Most people have trouble even picking a model, and the chance of picking a wrong one is high.

Also this is how Mastodon works, right?

“They need to make money”.

This cracked me up 🤣

I guess it needs a sort of “onboarding” the first time you open the app.

I mean, comparing it to Python is kinda unfair as Rust is closer to C and Python is one of the slowest languages out there. There is a whole spectrum of languages between Rust and Python. The final reason was probably that the devs were comfortable enough with Rust.
