That’s a con and a pro of decentralized net: if you don’t like the owner, pick another instance or create your own and be the king. Bad news is, every instance is controlled by couple regular folks who’re not responsible financially so they can imply their own rules and post and ban whatever they want.

Like the jungle: you gotta learn to survive and avoid the monkeys with rabies.

Yes its one time for android, if you’re earning money with ads or purchases, google will take 1/3 of that amount, then you will have to figure out taxes on your own and there’s also some special policies for selling online goods in India, but if you’re just making apps - its one time fee to be able to upload them to google play store, or you can just distribute with froid/github for free, which is a great route as well

From the perspective of FOSS developer:

I simply don’t want to pay €100 every single year to Tim Apple to make a free hobby app.

Android has more ways to distribute, and the “official” way is one time €25 fee and that’s it.

or else they will block it in norway

Thank you :)

Fennec’s dev here: changed name for Fennec to Arctius to stop the confusion.

!arctius@lemmy.world

No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn’t aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we’re going by fennec rn

For Android: fennec does this.

Spoilers: I’m this app’s developer :)

It’s amazing how well it handles the load now compared to just a few weeks before

I’d rather agree about mastadon, but not about Lemmy. I’ve seen people from (I assume) ~20 up to 40+. For example, I’m around 27 and I have few friends who were using Lemmy for almost a year now, they’re in their early 20s.

But yes it’s mostly nerds.

Lemmy is opensource and does not have large team to work on things you mentioned simply because its mostly one person and people who are trying to contribute to my knowledge. Just open the github repo for lemmy or any app and contribute if you want.
