Hehe, it's like other fediverse apps but worse and full of ads. Idk. what they were thinking tbh.

It’s infuriating that if you accidentally tap the home button all the threads you would have otherwise read disappear forever. The app desperately needs a chronological option. Everything disappears so fast on it.

How else can they show you more ads/sponsored content?

Oh, gotcha. I figured they would have dirtied it already.
