Man, that all makes perfect sense, and I appreciate the reply. Thanks for laying out the challenges for a small dev to develop for iOS.

I actually like the look of Mbin and Piefed, but like I said, I use Voyager to surf Lemmy a lot of the time, and Voyager doesn’t support Mbin/Piefed. I’d be willing to try and maybe switch to a different app, but there’s currently no iOS app for either. I’m not above using a PWA, but the Piefed instance I signed up to doesn’t even offer an actual PWA, but just a bookmark that opens Piefed in a Safari tab.

So, to bring it back to the original question, that’s the reasons that Piefed is a no-go for me.

Woooo boy you told me! 🙄

Actually this thread is about Piefed (spelled correctly just for you), not correcting people who are correcting people, so now you’re in the wrong.

You’ll excuse me, but my eyes rolled so hard, I have to go try to get them back to the front.

I wasn’t trying to be derogatory, I know that outside the US Android is the dominant platform, but in the US it’s iOS. (I actually thought the percentage of iOS users would have been a little higher.)

That’s an interesting assumption that the Fediverse skews Android, I’d like to see some numbers on that.

You may not be from the US, but in the US smartphone market, as of late 2024, iOS (Apple) holds a larger market share than Android, with iOS at around 58% and Android at 42%.

If you want to debate Apple, start another thread. This post is about Mbin and Piefied, and for me, I use Voyager on iOS to surf Lemmy. I don’t want to switch to or recommend Mbin or Piefied if there’s not an app for it and the best I can do is a PWA.

Don’t try to hijack the thread to push your anti Apple agenda. You can dislike Apple all you want, just not in this thread.

MBin does have one.

…for Android. Nothing for iOS.

Yeah, me too, but it seems to be increasing in frequency. I’m just wondering if others are seeing the same thing, or if I’ve somehow been targeted.

This is me almost to a tee, which is why it’s easy to spot the spam. (Aside from, y’know the scantily clad pic and link to OnlyFans.) If I get a new follower, it’s usually someone who starred or boosted something I posted, not some random follow out of the blue.

HOLY CRAP, I just got another one since I posted this.

I think I’ve gotten five over the last couple weeks (including the two overnight last night).

Yeah, my personality is one in a quadrillion all right. Just not in the way that would attract scantily clad OnlyFans models. 🤣

Sorry, my bad. Here you go:

If you’re on iOS, there’s a shortcut that dims your screen, begins recording video, and sends the video to anyone you choose from your contact list. Pretty basic, but also free.

⬆️ This is the way.

Spyware takes up space, comrade.

I was going to do it as a side hustle, but then I found out that I would have to change the type of car insurance I have, and my rate would go up. If I didn’t and had an accident while delivering, my insurance company would 100% deny all claims - assuming they found out I guess. I wasn’t willing to risk it , and the higher premium cost made it unprofitable.

I read that like you’re Tony the Tiger. “It is GRRRRRREAT for opening large log files.”

So, I’m not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, but I absolutely believe the theory that Spez & Musk are being paid handsomely under the table by dark money to do their best to ruin Reddit and Twitter. It was the two largest places that liberals congregated, communicated, and publicly posted, and the right wing wants to hamper and/or destroy both sites. I think both are seriously compromised now, and many of the left have fled. In the case of Twitter, it’s just turning into Truth Social lite, and Spez is trying to monetize what’s left of Reddit as fast as he can to rake in cash off what’s left of the dying carcass/bot farm.
