& 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 fled Digg for Reddit ... I have now fled Reddit for Lemmy

Feeling like Lemmy actually puts the control in the content contributors and moderators where it should be!

Wefwef for me too. The interface is pretty similar, so it didn’t take much to transition. I’m hoping things will pick up here, but so far I’m liking the new home.

I'm a bit confused but I'm getting there. I've figured out I can sign into lemmy.world but otherwise I keep getting account errors. World seems decent enough though

You only really need one account on one instance. Except in cases of defederation you can read, comment, post and join communities on other instances from the same account.

Basically the choice is yours to find an instance with the rules you're comfortable with and make an account there. Every instance admin can moderate the way they want -- which of course could lead to some consequences, for example: lemmy.world defederated from 'exploding heads' because it was a right-wing racist cesspool. But even then, anyone who enjoys that can just move there. :p

Edit: If you go to Communities (at the top) and use the 'All' tab, you can find communities across all instances and subscribe to them easily. :)

Edit2: Been trying to explain it to friends, haha. But I suck at explaining things. :D So.. Every instance is basically the equivalent of reddit, except in this case there are numerous reddits with their own admins and rulles, and they're all linked (unless defederated). Every instance has numerous communities (subreddit equivalents). You only need an account on one instance to enjoy them all (again: unless defederated but in that case you could, if you really wanted to, just make an account there as well).

You can "sub" to "subreddits" from other instances. I.e. on "programming.dev", there is "programmer humor", so I can browse and comment on it via https://lemmy.world/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

The handle (i.e. programmer_humor@programming.dev) is always found in the sidebar.

(Quotes as I don't know the proper lingo yet... is it "communities" for subreddits?)

I have tried Jerboa, Connect and Liftoff and I like Liftoff the best so far. It doesn't really matter though, since I'm mostly waiting for Boost for Lemmy to release.

I’ve been using Memmy for a few days, and it’s done a good job at filling the Apollo-shaped hole in my heart. As for Reddit itself, the community has become so toxic in the last few days that I’m honestly glad I’m not on there anymore.

This all feels so convoluted I’m not too sure about it. Reddit was kind of confusing initially too so I get that’s part of it but I could never like, recommend my friends or family visit this since it’s so convoluted

Jeobora with post view mode : list. I had trouble creating a username first because the app just doesn't do it so I did that from desktop.

[–] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Liking it a lot so far. I'll be able to stay here 100% reddit free if my sports communities ever come over.

Just need a kbin app. I've been splitting time between kbin and Lemmy and I was using kbin way more over the last couple weeks because the site is better but now the Lemmy apps are getting really damn good so I'm finding myself using Lemmy more suddenly. The post or filters or something just seems better on kbin. Also the nsfw rarely shows up in my main feed. I prefer to go out of my way to see that stuff.

I have tried the web site, liftoff, wefwef and Jerboa. I like them in the order of, Jerboa, wefwef, web, liftoff.

The web used to be my favourite but after the update the ui got a bit to small for my liking and I haven't found a way to change it.

Liftoff was the first real app I tried and I do like it, but when I tried it I ran into some big problems with cross instance interactions, so I went back to using the website.

wefwef is perfectly fine, I have nothing really to complain about. Personally I just prefer Jerboa more.

In regards to the overall experience I like it here, I have found some communities. Some a lot better then the Reddit equivalent. Unfortunately some of my favourite communities have not migrated, so that is a bit sad.

I like Summit best of the three apps I've tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It's a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.

As for missing reddit, well... it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I'm hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!
