& 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 couldn't get my friends or family to use Reddit either. To be honest, despite it's supposed popularity I didn't actually know a single person besides myself that was hooked on using it. I also found Reddit very difficult to figure out at first, just like Kbin, but give it time and it starts to click.

Yeah I figure I’ll give it time, but probably gonna test out some other alternatives in the meantime too and just see what sticks.

I got my parents (age 60s) onto Reddit, it was a bit of a challenge but they figured it out for the sake of using it for their niche hobbies. I’ve met people that use it but never the power user type, always people that use it really casually, like just a couple subreddits. Part of what made it bearable was the third party apps too ofc. It always felt convoluted but this is even worse to me. Just figuring out how to respond to your notification was a challenge lol. I had to ultimate go to your profile, your recent posts, and then reply from there. The link to the main topic just goes to the top and this chat is buried
