& 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 found myself actually reading articles since I can't go in and just read someone else's synopsis of the content, which frankly is a good thing. I can get my own information and form my own opinions, Reddit just let me be lazy but it's a nice change.

As for engagement, just be the change your wish to see, and engagement will follow. I think there is still some fine tuning to be done in terms of the sorting algorithms as well, which would ideally get day old content out and active but fresh content in. A lot of dust left to settle with the great migration underway.

I try. I want to make this work so I try to comment more and perhaps even create some posts (things I didn't do on Reddit). But I have no illusion that anything I post will be "quality".

I think your posts here are quality

You're sweet in saying so <3

But I have no illusion that anything I post will be “quality”.

Saying this already shows us as a community that your comments are more valuable than any found on Reddit! Any contribution with an inch of sincerity/effort goes a mile. But don't feel too much pressure to contribute. I'm a lurker myself and new to all this constant activity/mod stuff. Contribute as you wish and we'll be happy to respond back!

Good news - you could be the new synopsis guy!
