& 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?

Jerboa, but it's not as easy as RIF

Been on lemmy.world since around 10 days and I've already noticed a significant increase in activity. Pretty exciting! I tried wefwef but for some reason scrolling doesn't work so well on my smartphone, Jerboa is great and I think I'll stick to it, for now.

there was a moment today while reading a deep thread when i completely forgot which platform i was on. i was simply enjoying the content and community.

Still browsing reddit from desktop, can't stay away from some subreddits like /r/combatfootage and /r/manga. On mobile I use Jerboa.

The latter is especially why I hope the manga community here continues to grow.

I'm having the hardest time using Lemmy. I got Jerboa and subscribed to 3 communities. However I see other communities online and Jerboa can't seem to find them. How can I force Jerboa to locate a community?

People keep saying Lemmy is easy to use but it doesn't seem to be so far even though I'm really trying to stay away from Reddit. That's one thing that Reddit has an advantage in, it's very easy to use.

so long as there's nice content i feel fine. 9gag, reddit, twitter, whatever.

I keep opening Apollo out of habit but haven’t checked reddit at all today and I’m ok with that lol

Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn't have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn't want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.

I can't use a client where I'm ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am... We'll see how it goes.

It’s not too bad. The lack of a history of posts on Lemmy makes me miss Reddit more than anything. The engagement here seems pretty good but I hope it continues to get better. It will just take time.

[–] exoZeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Besides some of the outages I have experienced and getting used to the Memmy app, I am enjoying my time so far. I haven’t posted yet since I was more of a lurker on Reddit but that will change since I want to see this community succeed.
