& 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've been pretty happy with wefwef and with the web interface. Lemmy is a great place! I'd forgotten how good it feels to be out from under the corporate thumb.

My first post here. Just Downloaded the app and exported my Apollo JSON file over. Hoping this site grows.

The only thing I really miss from Reddit is the cryptocurrency mainreddit and the subreddits. Lemmy is definitely going to be amazing once other like-minded individuals migrate to lemmy.

Migrated from Apollo, wepwep is my home while testing the other iOS apps. Feels good over here!

A lot of the content on here reminds me of old Reddit, I'm enjoying it so far!

I wish wefwef would be a proper app. Webapps have never been my thing. I’m using Memmy right now and it’s okay.

Doing great so far, servers were a bit buggy today but I think it can only get better

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.

There's gonna be more 3rd party apps for Lemmy than there ever were for Reddit. Edit: And more open source, so you can contribute (or learn from it) too.

Never used an app for reddit, but I left to protest how spez treated people. Other than missing the science/news/covid research content, I greatly prefer Lemmy. I look forward to seeing how the Fediverse grows, but I truly hope it doesn't detract for longtime users.

As for Lemmy apps... I tried wefwef, and liked it ok, but now I'm using Jerboa and I think I will stick with it for a while.

I was using it and thought it was great but it stopped refreshing. I tried to use memmy for lemmy but they are overloaded right now. So now I’m on liftoff for lemmy. I was getting a few errors earlier but it seems to be working well now.

I really did like wefwef! I heard memmy is great too.

Created my Lemmy account about an hour ago after seeing feedback regarding the wefwef app. So far I am not disappointed in its execution. I have already joined a few communities that reflect what I was doing on Reddit and I am hopefully optimistic it continues to grow in a positive manner. I do agree with another comment that the engagement should be more meaningful with fewer users.

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

using Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it’s a great experience. Also using Mlem on iOS in TestFlight, and it has been good as well. I also use the browser version if the app is being flaky.

I logged into the reddit website today (with adblock of course) and unsubscribed all subreddits, with the exception of some niche stuff that I have to find an alternative for. Currently exploring Mastodon and now Lemmy, looks good so far. I don't miss reddit at all.

[–] Oneobi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I had to go there yesterday to find a motor stream. Felt filthy and left as soon as I could.

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

I only opened RIF out of habit about 3 times

So far I've tried Jerboa and Connect, they're obviously not feature complete yet but both are definitely serviceable.

I'm using liftoff at the moment, pretty good so far. I still get compulsions to type reddit after my Google searches though to look up answers on questions I have...need to break that years-long habit
