Wefwef feels fantastic. As a RIF user I see why the Apollo folk loved the user experience - glad it continues on in a way!

Connect for Lemmy (Android app) is pretty good so far. Lots of options. I'm glad I was able to turn off the swipe actions, as I don't like those at all. Jerboa was not great.

What I'm excitedly waiting for is Sync for Lemmy. It was the best reddit app I had ever used, and the dev is now making a Lemmy version.

!syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

I actually installed the reddit app (Android) but it really was shitty so I uninstalled it.

Lemmy has been great hasn't it? It's not as big but the content feels more meaningful.

Boost was my go-to and I'm waiting for the new one for Lemmy. But jerboa has been doing the job for me so far. Especially the newer versionsB

It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.

I am using Connect and wefwef. So far doing great.

My community has not moved to Lemmy so kinda lost here. I will just check around and see what sticks because I refuse to contribute to that fuckspez site.

So far jerboa for android is really great! Gonna switch to sync for Lemmy as soon as it's out though, gonna make this place feel like home :)

So far I've only tried Connect for Lemmy and it works well so far. A little slow and occasionally has issues logging in, but it's getting the job done.
I'm really hoping that Sync works (when it's ready) every bit as well for Lemmy as it did for Reddit though, because no other app even came close.

I've also been trying to limit my Reddit use on desktop just out of principle.

This is working! I never expected I’ll ever use an app like apollo in the near future but here we are. And the community here is great too! Rooting for you Lemmy!

I already don't miss it, will take a few weeks to break the muscle memory of opening a reddit tab every time I'm bored for more than 2 seconds

sidenote, has anyone been able to get dark mode to stick, or is that broken for now?

I've been here since June 12th, and I'm really liking it. I often sorted Reddit by rising, and this place feels like that experience: posts with fewer comments, so it seems like my comment might not get lost in the deluge.

The only thing I miss is that there were so many people in Reddit that you could post some obscure thing and there'd always be an expert on it. "I did my PhD thesis on the mating cycle of gnats, so I can explain what's going on there..."

I think this place will get there though, and there are some real advantages to a smaller population, as long as there's critical mass.

Using wefwef right now.

Thing I find interesting so far is that usernames are subtly different, like they aren’t trying to fill or replace characters because the username they actually wanted was taken.

Connect for Lemmy is my favorite app so far. I miss some of the really niche subs, and tried making a few here, but it's hard to transition from being a lurker to a poster and contributing member!

I miss infinity on my side. Jerboa has been great for me.

I am finding myself absentmindedly clicking my Apollo icon every hour. I’m happy to say screw Reddit for years and years of bucking user preferences and accessible 3rd party apps, but this is definitely an unfortunate transition to leave behind all the many years of content and critical mass of activity Reddit has. I’m still having to use the browser version to access subreddits related to school admissions stuff because there’s extremely valuable content I just can’t get elsewhere yet.

I just hope something pushes another big wave of users off of the platform soon and keeps the momentum going. Knowing Reddit admins it’s only a matter of time.

Honestly, I've been staying off of reddit and all social media a lot for the past year. It's been good for me. I've been slowly getting back into a few select forums. I like Lemmy a lot more than I've like any kind of social media in a long time. I hope it's sustainable.

Learned about wefwef 30min ago and love it already. Now Lemmy is an actual alternative to Reddit for me.

Doing fantastic. People are slowly posting content. The platform slows down due to spike in users but it gets better little by little. I like seeing content from other instances although you can't really reply to posts. It is great as a place to discover content, one day at a time i guess. I will not be using reddit in the foreseeable future though.

using connect rn, it's pretty good looking but a bit buggy, i guess i'm waiting for updates!

I’ve been using Memmy the most so far, just waiting for more content to be generated here

Honestly, it reminds me a bit of reddit pre-digg migration. I'm kind of enjoying it. Right now, I'm using connect for my mobile access. I also don't hate the separation that the federated servers are falling into. It seems like moderation might be a bit of a PITA but I don't have any experience to back that up.
