So glad I had the push to get off reddit, so nice here, and its always nice to start over with a fresh slate, hopefully I will be here for another 7 years

Been on lemmy.world since around 10 days and I've already noticed a significant increase in activity. Pretty exciting! I tried wefwef but for some reason scrolling doesn't work so well on my smartphone, Jerboa is great and I think I'll stick to it, for now.

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.

I'm having the hardest time using Lemmy. I got Jerboa and subscribed to 3 communities. However I see other communities online and Jerboa can't seem to find them. How can I force Jerboa to locate a community?

People keep saying Lemmy is easy to use but it doesn't seem to be so far even though I'm really trying to stay away from Reddit. That's one thing that Reddit has an advantage in, it's very easy to use.

I keep opening Apollo out of habit but haven’t checked reddit at all today and I’m ok with that lol

Still browsing reddit from desktop, can't stay away from some subreddits like /r/combatfootage and /r/manga. On mobile I use Jerboa.

Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn't have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn't want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.

I can't use a client where I'm ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am... We'll see how it goes.

Jerboa, but it's not as easy as RIF

so long as there's nice content i feel fine. 9gag, reddit, twitter, whatever.

I was early to leave. I’ve yet to delete my Reddit account since I honestly don’t want to put traffic there. But my account is dead. This actually is pretty nice given I was also crashing on Apollo. Dearly missed

there was a moment today while reading a deep thread when i completely forgot which platform i was on. i was simply enjoying the content and community.

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.

Besides some of the outages I have experienced and getting used to the Memmy app, I am enjoying my time so far. I haven’t posted yet since I was more of a lurker on Reddit but that will change since I want to see this community succeed.

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.

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.
