& 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 used Boost Android app for Reddit and now moved to WefWef. It's already really good and looking very promising for the future considering the speed at which it is evolving

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I have been using Wefwef and Memmy, and I’m not sure what I prefer, as they’re quite similar, but I think Wefwef is edging it out for me. It feels a little better.

I’m still on Reddit at the moment because some of the niche communities I’m into just don’t have a lot going on here. For instance, I love wrestling, I’m part of three wrestling communities on here, and Reddit still has more going on.

That said, I’m looking to get off Reddit completely sooner than later. Still finding all my communities. I don’t expect this place to get as big as Reddit, but I do want to see a little more activity.

Its been one day without Reddit

It's been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry."

15 year club on reddit. I've parted a few weeks ago and not coming back.

I hope lemmy gets good and better content.

14 year club. Also not going back to mobile browsing Reddit. I was a baconreader user for more than a decade. RES and old.reddit seems unaffected so far but Connect for Lemmy is working well. Happy to see some traction here.

Wiped my 13 year account a few days ago and haven't gone back to Reddit since RIF died. I'm mostly just waiting for one of the apps (Sync or Boost for Lemmy) to come out to do a full replacement; for now I'm just mobile browsing here.

So far I've only tried Connect for Lemmy and it works well so far. A little slow and occasionally has issues logging in, but it's getting the job done.
I'm really hoping that Sync works (when it's ready) every bit as well for Lemmy as it did for Reddit though, because no other app even came close.

I've also been trying to limit my Reddit use on desktop just out of principle.

I’ve been enjoying Memmy and Thunder. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and Wefwef is pretty damn close to Apollo. Personally, I’m excited for Artemis, which like Apollo was, is aiming to be a similarly smooth and robust standalone iOS app.

Wefwef is incredible. I've never seen a web app that's even half as technically impressive, and it gets 2-3 major updates a day. Huge hats off to the devs.

2-3 major updates a day.

as a QA Manager that makes me deeply nervous

I have been trying Jerboa. No real complaints about the app, I just want to see the more niche spaces get more activity

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've been using Jerboa as well and I find it crashes quite a bit. When I hit back, or the back arrow it'll just shut down. I'll give it a fair shot, tho.

It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This was shared with me my first day & really helped a lot!

Also, one of the first things I noticed when I created my account & searching for communities was that you can actually block a community. If you didn't want to see it, is all. I just thought that was pretty awesome considering how many times I wanted to on Reddit but couldn't.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

using connect rn, it's pretty good looking but a bit buggy, i guess i'm waiting for updates!

I am using Connect and wefwef. So far doing great.

My community has not moved to Lemmy so kinda lost here. I will just check around and see what sticks because I refuse to contribute to that fuckspez site.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is what bugs me. When the personalities a sub is built around stays on Reddit despite supporting the protests. Like game subs - if the Devs are there, the players will post there. Supporting the protests in name, but not joining a community on the current best alternative....

It feels so weird without my easy access to niche porn. Like I can get porn anywhere, but some of that niche stuff, it's hard to find that stuff again.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Have you browsed the lemmynsfw.com communities?

Porn May do better on Lemmy than Reddit in the long run. Advertisers don’t like porn.

Edit: you may need to logged in to that instance to see the communities? Lemmy explorer helps NSFW communities

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they're really weirdly restrictive about fictional porn.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you’re talking about loli, that was banned on Reddit too.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago

More like gore/dubcon stuff. Plenty of gore subs, and theres more dubcon than you can shake a stick at. And the niche stuff still isn't there.
