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…

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.

People already do this with instagram for over a decade, it’s called finstagram. You create an account under a fake name, and only add intimate friends, set it to private. At which point you post pictures of you taking a shit, being ugly or doing anything you’re too ashamed to put on your actual instagram. Ironically the fake instagram (“finstagram”) is more real than your actual insta.

Think semi-famous hot people. Actual insta: curated photoshopped pictures. Finsta: picture of what they look like 1st thing in the morning with no make up, or of them doing drugs.

Different guy but I share in his confusion. I guess I don’t understand why people like Instagram either. For me it got old almost immediately and the ads on the Instagram app were worse than anything else I’ve ever used to this day. I just don’t see the appeal and much less so for a knock-off.
