...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

I'm not sure the communities that I most care about are not very active.

[–] beanssys@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

right now, it's a little hard to say. it depends a lot on increased activity in my interests

I think there needs to be more communities so I can really leave reddit. Also not for sure about the messaging option on here.

I'll stick around in both reddit and lemmy until enough communities move over here or reddit just dies.

I haven't deleted my account yet, but I'm in no hurry to go back. I'll go back if I see some change (in any case I'll also be here, it's cozy)

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I'm fully Lemmy only now.

[–] Goodbyeworld@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I like to think we are building for the future here.

I tried lemmy a little, there's not much content yet. It really depends on if the major power users migrate to lemmy, and on which instance they will migrate. The other problem being that I have yet to find a good mobile app to access the lemmy instances, and I'm too lazy to make my own (though it would be a good side hustle in my opinion).

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Use the mobile web and Desktop ui. get used to it so when the apps come you will be a pro at it. Give it a good day

Which OS are you on, android or IOS? On android I'm using Jerboa and it's honestly quite a nice app for being in the alpha stage, didn't check to see if it's on IOS as well

[–] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

iOS has an app called Mlem.

[–] SickIcarus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There’s another new app called Memmy to check out as well.

wait, how can we wipe our post history?

[–] Hanabie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There are tools out there, I'm using a script for Tampermonkey whose name is escaping me right now.

I would really like to stay here, but I mostly used reddit on my phone and I've found the mobile experience so underwhelming that I have already given up on it. The MLem app crashes on me after ~60 seconds every time I try to use it, too.

If we could entice the developer of Apollo or RIF or Sync or any of the big platforms to make a really slick app for Lemmy, I might never go back to Reddit.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a mobile user as well, I found that (on Android anyway) click the show desktop option in my browser has greatly improved my experience here, all 2 days of it.

[–] fluffyrex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try the Jerboa app! I haven't had any problems with it at all (the Mlem app is for ios). You can use the direct link to the Google Play store (in green below app description) off the lemmy app page linked below. It's official and everything. I like it much better than the browser version. 😁

I'll be staying but I'll still use Reddit on the desktop as I still do need it for a few things. I'll certainly contribute to L.W's communities though. I suspect when they finally shoot old.reddit in the face is when the overall mass exodus will occur if a better platform isn't out by then.
