Memmy developers were able to build a better app in a month than Reddit’s team was able to build in ten years - eviltoast

I’m not sure what that says about the quality of the Memmy team or that of Reddit or both.

    It’s not surprising as the motivations are quite different. Reddit wants their app to be a shitty Facebook clone while Memmy/Lemmy focus on the user experience.

      Also memmy devs aren’t bogged down by the 10 layers of corporate bullshit your average dev has to deal with.

      The motivation is $$$. Reddit’s board and CEO want to get rich. Lemmy wants to nerd out and create a community.

      Let’s also acknowledge that nobody should work for free so if you truly support Memmy/Lemmy, put your money when your mouth is.
