          They all tend to flock on similar instances

              Probably yea, I used to be on a different instance under a different identity but your digital identity should always be pseudonymous and nomadic. Defed .world if needed. I’ll be fine :)

                Lemmy.world has the most conservatives because it has the most users

                If all instances defederated lemmy.world, it will probably stop being the most used, giving the title of instance with most conservatives to another instance

    I thought reddit killed third party apps? Or are you paying the $10,000,000 per month or whatever it is?

      Probably. I have no experience with the Google Play Store end of things, but we’ve gotten non-reviews written by crackpots removed from our Google Business profile by just pointing out to Google that they were either off topic or from someone who we could not identify in any of our records as being a person who actually did business with us.

      For example, there was one guy who went around copy-pasting the same one star rant to seemingly every retail business in the city whining about mask requirements during COVID, which didn’t have jack monkey squat do to with us and was in fact a state government mandate that we did not control. As a public business we have to comply with the law. Google took that one down when we reported it, although I still see examples of the same screed from the same guy attached to other businesses who apparently didn’t have the wherewithal to complain.

      I imagine “app that serves third party content the author doesn’t control and reviewer is complaining about the content not the app” is a situation that is very well understood at Google. Whether or not you can make them give a shit is a different question…

        I used to work at the pub in England and the landlord used to write the insane reviews on the chalkboard.

        Sure they pulled down your ratings but if you’re at 4.9 anyway it doesn’t really matter and it’s better to showcase the insane reviews than the actually legitimately negative ones.

        The best one was the guy that tried to sue us because he was stung by a bee. Because apparently the bees work for us.

    I’m going to give you a five star review to balance it. (Swiss app store)

    Hey I have done actual feedback/ issues with the app.

    About half the time i try to load a video it fails to open it. This can occur on comments too.

    Also sometimes going to a sub reddit and then a post then hitting back button on android will cause it to completely close the app, like the breadcrumbs history is missing so it thinks you just want to quit vs go back to the sub reddit or home.

    Thanks a bunch for making it, it does make browsing possible on mobile like 50%of the time :D

      I had issues with the video player as well. I solved it by clearing my cache for the app.

      Never experienced your other issue though.

    Oh boohooh did the poor wittle “conservative” encounter pushback on its silly wittle Fox-news-adled ideas?

      I’m on Android so I didn’t look into OP’s app. I just went looking into it after this post. Apparently if you create your own developer app ID and patch an app to use yours instead, I guess your usage is too low for Reddit to bill. Something like that.

    The Reddit populace is pretty leftie. Except for the occasional brave soul commenting here and there, you have to search out certain subreddits to hear conservative views.

    Not that your app has anything to do with that, of course.

      I’d say it is (was? It’s been ~a year and a half since I used it consistently but I’m guessing it hasn’t changed too much since then) moderately left by US standards but definitely not progressive left - you don’t have to go very far to find thinly-veiled sexism/racism/homophobia, though that might just be because a large portion of the people there are terminally online in a bad way. That being said, there are definitely also communities ranging from conservative to hardcore conservative as well but I actively tried to avoid those so I didn’t really see them in my feeds. The same is true with progressive communities but they tended to drift away from being actually progressive once they got to a certain size.

      To a “conservative” reality itself must seem extremely left-wing. It’s just their warped perspective.
