The reddit app I used stopped working yesterday (yes I know why but it's funnier to pretend I don't) so here I am! Trying to figure out how lemmy works in the context of the larger fediverse.

Download Wifwif (pwa) and tell your friends. Let’s kill that IPO
Nothing comes up when I Google Wifwif pwa. What is it?
They likely meant wefwef :) It's a mobile app for lemmy

Hi, I'm one of the RiFugees, using the same name I did on Reddit. This looks like my place on lemmy for now, thanks to all who had the foresight to set it up!
Now Twitter shitting itself in the name of forcing subscriptions is causing a mass migration to Mastedon. The Fediverse is going to get incredibly popular....fast.
I could deal with not having reddit sync, but opening twitter today and seeing that I have a tweet ration made me immediately sign up for lemmy. I imagine a lot of people are similar
First comment on Lemmy! I think that it'll be hard to for people to understand instances at first but hopefully over time the value of chosing how you interact will be clear
I woke up to all this new content, amazing 😍🤩
I imagine we only have a few hours left of Boost. Set myself up here today after hearing about this place. Can't wait until there's more apps for it.
Was waiting for Narwhal to break and it never happened. Turns out the dev got a deal to not pay anything until he can release a ‘Narwhal 2’ that’s subscription only. Wasn’t an Apollo user but the dev got shafted and reddit didn’t offer anything close to what the Narwhal dev did. Still deleted my account as planned and deleted their app off my phone.
Yeah I saw that too, spez is a piece of shit, did you also see all the lies he made up about the Apollo dev? It was so childish lol
Yeah. I was following all his posts even though I preferred a different app. fuck spez and fuck the dev of narwhal for being a boot-licker.
Fuck spez, certainly, but I can easily understand why Narwhal’s developer took the deal. I’m sure they invested a huge amount of time and effort into their app and it’s hard to walk away from that when there’s a viable path forward. Apollo’s dev would have probably taken the same deal, had it been on the table. The problem was never that Reddit needed to start charging for API access, it’s that they priced it unreasonably high after assuring devs they wouldn’t and also gave very little notice before those prices took effect.

Just got here and I hope a lot of awesome people head on over here from Reddit. To the #fediverse!
I was gonna keep lurking Reddit until Sync shut down, now I'm on Lemmy. Took me a little bit to figure the platform out tbh, having third party apps for it now seems to be great.

Eep! Wishing you a speedy recovery, @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone! Take care of yourself first, we’ll understand if things here go wonky for a bit. 💜
Thanks!
I'm mostly on the mend now and able to tap keys again. Which is timely given the recent Reddit and Twitter happenings!

RedditIsFun is down, so I am out. Used it for the 10 years I was there, and don't like the "New Reddit" they've been creating for monetization-sake.
10 years here as well. Was sad opening it up and seeing nothing, even though I knew it was coming.
Yeah. It's bittersweet for sure. I used to thoroughly enjoy reddit 5 or so years ago... and at the risk sounding like a crotchety old man, "it's not as good as it once was!" Things change, and I'm eager to see if lemmy is as good as it is in theory. Federated site sounds so futuristicly positive!

Same, I've had a reddit account for 8 years, but I lurked since maybe a couple of years since it's inception. Used RIF for maybe 6 years.
I hate what reddit has become. I'm not someone who regularly participates with any communities, so I cannot really be relied upon to generate content, I'm a perpetual consumer rather than a producer.
I'm just looking for somewhere that gives me access to the latest news about the things I care about. So far Lemmy seems to have a lot if promise!
Do you have any advice on finding the subreddit equivalents? I followed a lot of hyperspecific subs like FortniteLeaks and Indiettrpg design and lfg stuff, and I've no idea how to find things like that here
Every instance seems to make a asklemmy or copy of other popular Reddit subs, so everything is spread out. I bet we just have to wait a bit to see where people will post, how much server power instances needs, which ones will survive and so on.
Interesting times indeed.
Yeah! It gives me a good vibe. Seems to hit upon what you're looking for too, so I hope you end up enjoying it!

I've been here since earlier this month but now that "Boost for Reddit" is down, I'll be here a lot more instead of splitting my time 50/50
Thanks as always to you and @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone!!! Best wishes that she gets better soon!
Thanks lovely. I'm back on my feet mostly now.. still pretty sore but better every day.
Just know that I appreciate you all! Thank you!
I moved over here in preperation for the shutdown. This place seems nice.
Good luck to the admins, and welcome to all the reddit refugees.
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone Hope @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone get better soon!
I'm a good way there now. Thanks!
I rode the Apollo train right to the end, about ten minutes ago. So long, Shitty CEO, please let the door hit you twenty times on the way out.
