  • Totally. Doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason. I also don’t understand why skip intro isn’t a thing on purchased shows? Uninstalling the streaming services would work but isn’t really a good solution because what about when someone wants to watch a show that isn’t purchased? And just to heap on, I also really dislike when I’m in TV search and am redirected to something like the Prime video tier that has adds. That’s a serious wtf!? issue, especially for a services I pay for. I would like to disallow any service that has ads and I’d like it to prefer purchased content. Seems like a couple of easy toggle switches in settings.






  • Specifically as an iOS/Apollo refugee I want better media handling. Apollo Gif and Video player was excellent. I’d like to be able to scrub more easily. Better API integration with content hosts. Also better OS integration. I know people using Apollo got butt hurt because iOS put the text recognition image over the bottom corner of pics, but I got very used to being able to quickly copy text out of images and things like that. Also Memmy is never recommended in the OS where Reddit official app is constantly recommended despite my hardly ever using it. That’s the app asking the OS to be recognized based on usage factors, and it’s something the dev has to build in.






  • I think donations via something like Patreon, or subscriptions via an app are eventually totally reasonable for a Lemmy instance. I got enough utility out of Reddit that I would have been willing to pay a few bucks a month for an ad free app subscription. Reddit’s unreasonable, shortsighted management was the problem there. Once Lemmy starts to mature more and there is content worth paying for I’m ready to do my part to make sure it can continue without corporate involvement.
