      Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point I‘m not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions

          That was me w baconreader for sure.

          Now I have one Lemmy app for when lemmy.world is working, and another for when it isn’t.

          Haven’t open baconreader in a while, but haven’t uninstalled it either.

    Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of — okay im done. lol

    r/softwaregore lmao

    But also, I know Sync is gone but there are other third party apps still clinging on like Relay. So why are you still using the official app?

    I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and I’ve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.

    • Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apollo’s “Open in Apollo” function didn’t seem to work 100% of the time.

      The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasn’t even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and haven’t missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (it’s horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) I’m half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, they’d occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.

        At least for Android you can turn off push notifications. Long press the notification in question on the top pull down menu and pick your options.

        Applicable for all apps, not just Reddit. Somhandy to silence irritating Uber Eats or Twitter crap.

        • You can do that in iOS too. But having notifications enabled for messages was nice. The problem was that the app didn’t have an obvious way to disable only the spammy notifications.
