No news is good news in this case.

In the Shire it's known as eating Lembass
Response: we ran out of white guys to shoot so we switched to black. Disgusting.
How did you post from kbin.social to lemmy.ml?!?
This is where PS+ will be in 5 years...
- Introduce PS+ as optional
- Require PS+ for online play
- Introduce digital only console
- Introduce PS+ tiers (with the middle tier being most appealing to the mainstream)
- Increase pricing, abandon physical games, full market control
The only thing that can stop this happening is either support of physical sales, or additional marketplaces for digital games
I feel you. You can start your community and post content to get started and then handover moderation if/when others join. I considered doing the same but unfortunately I just don't have the content to get started with so I'm more down to wait and see. I've made a list of my favourite subs and set a weekly reminder on my phone to check on here if they exist.

Posting here at the moment feels like posting on Reddit in the early days. The sense of true community was real, it was more organic content from everyday people instead of the corporate machine that it became with sponsored content, brigading, shills and even subs changing their nature from IAMA Bricklayer to IAMA Movie Star with a movie releasing tomorrow which I'm here to promote. The whole voting system went to crap and the vote numbers were completely out of touch with actual user sentiment.
As long as the fediverse has a more sustainable model and does not go down the corporate route we should be ok until the marketeers, SEOs and advertisers arrive with their thinly veiled attempts at self/client promotion.
A dedicated instance sounds better than a magazine though not sure who'd be willing to take on the expense of taking on that volume of data.
The easiest grab method would be using the API, which provides about a week to get dev approval and to copy all Reddit data via the API without getting banned.
If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards.

Nope, no need for open-source. If it was so easy to make an iOS app we'd have one available on the App Store already. There's works in progress and TestFlight releases just to cater for the increasing demand but even those will take time to reach full maturity and polish.
There's no reason for someone to work so hard and give away their IP for free. From what you see from many apps, the authors are continuously working hard to work on it, adding new features, fixing bugs and with it being still the relatively early days of the Fediverse, keeping up and reflecting changes on the platform.
App developers should be free to decide how they protect their IP and how they market their product. I gladly paid for Apollo and would be more than happy to pay for my preferred Fedi app to support the effort behind it.
A better approach would be for the Kbin/Lemmy project to open-source an SDK for iOS
