As someone who's PR department, how might we improve and keep users from leaving?

i wonder if browse dns becoming a actual app would make it more popular, i bet artist would love an extra social media platform that wont use their art to train ai, plus the site reminds me of reddit but not toxic

?

i think it should become a actual downloadable app

are you familiar with F droid? just an idea but it might be cheeper than hosting it on google

Raven

That would be a @pwsincd and @vgmoose thing.. that's not my cup of tea

@Raven ok, i remember i used f droid to download a music downloader on a really old phone that google wasnt supported on. i believe all of the files were akp downloaded so it'd only work on android anyway

?

@Yanderemenhera I brought this up and I'M staff

We do have an apps in the works! Actually push notifications is the difficult part, but we should be able to get there eventually. It's important to make the site easier to use for mobile users.

On the users that have left though, I generally agree with Raven's take that it's natural / their decision to make. People will come and go over time. Obviously, we don't want to make this feel like an isolating place either.
