I left after they closed off the API and shut down third party apps. I could never go back, whilst Lemmy hasn't always offered the same amount of content, its always still offered good content, plus I know I'm guilt free of supporting Reddit and what a shit show they've become 🙂

I loved Apollo. Now I love Voyager

I got used to Lemmy eventually and like it. I spend less time scrolling which is good. Now just to ditch Instagram....

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 22 hours ago

I was in meme withdraw for a bit adjusting to the slower content. I even touched grass that one time.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Same but with piefed. It's the same communities. Love the extended capabilities on both platforms. And fedi integration makes it so anyone can use anything.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

My friends aren't on piefed

Be the change.

I know the struggle though I can't get anyone on Signal beyond my wife and one friend.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

Already am. Nobody follows me.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

I intentionally sabotaged my account to get banned so that I couldn't go back. Lol

The thing is that the more people use Lemmy the more content there will be

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

And there has been. I also joined Lemmy after the API shutdown and even then there were hardly any new posts, and barely any discussion on them. Now it seems that I have a brand new front page at least once a day and there's plenty of discussion on the posts.

[–] LaminatedDenim@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Same, but then I immediately returned to reddit. Today I suddenly realized I wanted to leave reddit, so here I am again. Any good tips for Android apps?

Summit is da bomb

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 13 hours ago

I've used Connect since I came over a year ago. I used Joey back on Reddit.

Voyager is my go-to.

I see sync recommended too, but I would recommend against that one. I had to buy it for reddit twice because the dev invalidated the license and took away premium features on an upgrade. So I'm not using their shit ever again.

Sync, I used it for reddit before they fucked the API. And now I use it for Lemmy. It's one of the smoothest apps I've ever used.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I really loved sync for reddit, but development on the app is pretty inconsistent and there's currently some major bugs/unsupported features. For example I can't currently view comments on posts from SJW.

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm I don't have any issues like that, moved over on the initial sync for Reddit closing

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently it's an issue with newer versions of the Lemmy software. I can see posts from SJW and the number of comments, but if I click through on them I can't see any of the comments. It's been reported on the discord but no updates. There's also other stuff like the fact that sync can't deal with showing separate upvotes and downvotes, so you have to just show score. Lots of little random glitches from differences between reddit and Lemmy.

The author of sync basically goes completely off the grid for long periods of time (presumably due to irl priorities) and doesn't work on sync during these periods. It's always been a thing with sync. But Lemmy changes more frequently than reddit so the bugs can be more frustrating. I'm considering changing apps, honestly, because not being able to see comments on my home instance is driving me crazy. But I do really like sync's interface.

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah the consistent interface has been easy to keep using. I tried a couple others but nothing really felt right. Probably going to be worth checking out new options at some point, just haven't had enough issues with sync to really try

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What is SJW? I love Sync for Lemmy.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

sh.itjust.works

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 21 hours ago

Summit is pretty good, and the dev is very responsive in !summit@lemmy.world

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The 2 specific communities I want to read without a mirroring one in the fediverse I still read through RSS.

Yead is better than using web or their app. And still get my fix.

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I use Boost for Lemmy (paid for, so no ads etc.). It's what I used for Reddit, so the transition was super easy, but there's lots of FOSS Lemmy clients on F-Droid that are good too.

[–] Shameless@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I also use Boost as I was using that back on Reddit. Voyager is also an excellent Lemmy app too.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's when I left, well before when they started talking about it.

It's not the same which is great
