& 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?
Yep its jerboa for me
Its been one day without Reddit
It’s been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, “I’m angry.”
I have been using Wefwef and Memmy, and I’m not sure what I prefer, as they’re quite similar, but I think Wefwef is edging it out for me. It feels a little better.
I’m still on Reddit at the moment because some of the niche communities I’m into just don’t have a lot going on here. For instance, I love wrestling, I’m part of three wrestling communities on here, and Reddit still has more going on.
That said, I’m looking to get off Reddit completely sooner than later. Still finding all my communities. I don’t expect this place to get as big as Reddit, but I do want to see a little more activity.
Wefwef is incredible. I’ve never seen a web app that’s even half as technically impressive, and it gets 2-3 major updates a day. Huge hats off to the devs.
2-3 major updates a day.
as a QA Manager that makes me deeply nervous
I like Summit best of the three apps I’ve tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It’s a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.
As for missing reddit, well… it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I’m hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!
Edit: yeah no, wefwef blows the rest out of the water, fr
Check out wefwef, jerboa and Connect as well.
Many more to come in the near future.
Yeah I’m using WEFWEF, I like the Apollo vibe. Somehow I don’t miss Reddit that much. There is only one subreddit I missed. It is r/Ukraine as I don’t to find that much up to date info on Fediverse. I will open a telegram account to feed the fedi-communities. Hopefully there are some Ukranian/Russian speakers in here to help with translation.
You could still follow the headlines from lemmit.online
Thanks I didn’t know about that one. I’m still new with the Fediverse.
Killing Bacon Reader was a deal breaker for me. Not looking back at all.
Former RIF user here. I rather not use reddit than use the official spyware app
I deleted my account once Sync stopped working. So glad Ljdawson is switching it over to lemmy
Can’t wait until sync for lemmy is a thing lol

I have been trying Jerboa. No real complaints about the app, I just want to see the more niche spaces get more activity
I’ve been using Jerboa as well and I find it crashes quite a bit. When I hit back, or the back arrow it’ll just shut down. I’ll give it a fair shot, tho.
Same, i’m on Connect for Lemmy now. I’ve heard about wefwef but I’m not sure what exactly the deal is or how to set it up.
You just go to wefwef.app
Easiest set up of 'em all lol
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.
This was shared with me my first day & really helped a lot!
Also, one of the first things I noticed when I created my account & searching for communities was that you can actually block a community. If you didn’t want to see it, is all. I just thought that was pretty awesome considering how many times I wanted to on Reddit but couldn’t.
I never used any Reddit app other than the official one but I wanted to check out Lemmy as an alternative and I’ve gotta say, I’m liking it a lot so far! I’m on wefwef as well and it’s a pretty good experience. I’ll probably start contributing to some of the communities I’m interested in to help them grow and hopefully the growth continues across the platform!
I’m also looking into hosting my own instance, I might work on getting that set up in the next couple weeks.
Only issue I’ve seen is that it’s been a little slow here and there, but I understand that it’s in the growing pains stage so I’m not too worried.
