It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended… “Infinity” is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200…

To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype…

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload…

It’s a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.

The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don’t post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.

The problem is monetisation. You don’t use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn’t have any ads. So I don’t know how low they’re able to do this without shutting down

And if you don’t have any friends IRL that use it, it’s pretty boring

Sounds like an excellent idea for some top-notch data farming.

That can be said about any app.

They could make you watch an ad to take your BeReal. They’d have to sell the one spot for a lot though. And people are already too lazy to take the pic when they’re supposed to a lot so they’d probably just lose most of their members.

You get a random notification every day to publish a photo (camera only). You can upload 3 pictures if your first one has been published (I think) 2 minutes after you received the notification to upload. Else you can only publish one photo per day.

I guess the idea is to show your friends what you are currently doing without giving you time to prepare yourself / your environment…

So in other words it’s a single notification a day I’ll not notice before the window long expired. Hrm.

Then you can just post a late. You just get blamed for being late and don’t get any extra photos you can take whenever you want to before the next day

Maybe because the concept is antithetical to stuff like Instagram, which makes it fun and refreshing - you know seeing “real” stuff and not highly filtered and planned stuff all the time.

Because many gen-z people are pushing back on the relationship us millennials have with social media, and find the attitude that Instagram encourages (curating and showing the best version of your life) unhealthy and anxiety-inducing. So this is an Instagram with no FOMO.

I don’t use BeReal and barely use Instagram but I totally see the point. Instagram is quite unhealthy.
