& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
I could never even get into Reddit. I couldn’t post because I didn’t have karma so it was useless to me.
I’ve been here for 7 days now. I’m not new to the fediverse but am new to Lemmy. So far I’m loving it, it’s great to finally see a viable Reddit alternative gain some traction.
Mastodon is also seeing another big surge of new accounts. Kinda feels like a (social media) revolution is afoot.
Please remember to be kind to your server admins also, they’ve a lot to cope with amidst all this excitement! Oh and donate if you can to help with growing running costs.
Using Connect for Lemmy and loving it. I’m not that much of a social media addict, but I would check reddit using Baconreader once daily for news and politics and cat pictures. Speaking of which, the number of cat communities on here is way too low, but I also think a lot of the cat subs on Reddit were like 75% repost bots. I still enjoyed them.
I had been using reddit daily for about 10 years for a multitude of reasons. It was a great place to waste time, an amazing tool to get help on niche subjects and a wonderful way to learn… but recently it suffered from it’s own success and generally felt more and more of a cesspool…
I am grateful of the events that transpired, because it has forced me to find an alternative, and evolve my knowledge on different options. I had no idea what Lemmy was yesterday, nor federation or anything… I was thrust into the option of stick with something that was getting bad, or figure out how to do something new that has the potential to be even better! I’m glad I went into uncharted territory.
It’s a little bittersweet that while lemmy does not have the scope that reddit had, resulting in less of a pool to get help from… the prospect of what might become with Lemmy is more than enough to keep me away from reddit.
Yeah Lemmy seems the way forward. It just sucks for all the subs that won’t be making it here anytime soon. Niche subs I’m following for example, I’ll still have to rely on Reddit.
I’m giving MLem a trial run and like it so far. I’m a fairly casual user.
I desperately miss RIF, and I have a community I care about on Reddit that I mod.
But I’m going to see if I can rebuild it here. I think Reddit has basically committed suicide.
I’m using Connect at the moment has been fine. Looking forward to the new version of Sync. But the only sub I miss is buildapcsales but only a matter of time.

Migrated from Apollo, wepwep is my home while testing the other iOS apps. Feels good over here!
I logged into the reddit website today (with adblock of course) and unsubscribed all subreddits, with the exception of some niche stuff that I have to find an alternative for. Currently exploring Mastodon and now Lemmy, looks good so far. I don’t miss reddit at all.
Lemmy has been great hasn’t it? It’s not as big but the content feels more meaningful.
Boost was my go-to and I’m waiting for the new one for Lemmy. But jerboa has been doing the job for me so far. Especially the newer versionsB
