I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

    I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

      Mlem and Memmy are having big updates everyday. Stick Apollo in a folder somewhere and replace the icon in its old position with one of those.

      Mlem scrolls like Apollo used to but it doesn’t have dark mode. Memmy has dark mode and swipe gestures but the feed is huge comparatively. Both receiving almost daily updates.

      (You need TestFlight from the Apple App Store since both apps are in beta)

    Oh definitely. I’ve been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

    • Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
    • There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
    • The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
    • Maybe I’m too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
    • There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it’s awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
    • It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

    For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

    From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I’ve fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

    I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

        The Mlem app is getting pretty good. I’m running a new branch this evening with some new gestures added and it’s clear that they’re moving towards Apollo clone. Or maybe Apollo+! Either way, it’s moving in the right direction.

      Please forgive me for doling out unsolicited advice. You may find it more beneficial to subscribe to communities and then browse your subscribed by default (it’s in settings). The difficulty at this time is going to be getting engagement in the communities and getting people who would normally post elsewhere to also post here.
