How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

It really really hope Lemmy takes off. For me, there’s enough here that I’m set. I look forward to the apps getting better and the platform getting more stable.

If you're still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

I’m actually on the TestFlight for Memmy and it’s getting much better very quickly.

But I was an Apollo addict and that is a very high bar.

Wefwef reversing the colors on upvotes and downvotes triggers me, and at least on iOS it has a pretty annoying WebKit related bug where it stops scrolling until you tap something.

Memmy is quite good though, the functionality is there and the polish will come!

The main thing that got me on Memmy over wefwef is probably stupid, but it’s the haptic feedback on swiping to upvote.

It’s like a comfort blanket after Apollo was shut down

I was using Mlem more but this latest update to Memmy really looks great, and afaik it’s the first of what I have to add the ability to hide posts (at least on iOS), which was an essential feature for me on Apollo. Now I just want to be able to change my browsing swipe controls to hide and save swiping right like I did on Apollo! Aesthetically it’s looking really good too. I like the Apollo-esque themes.

Only issue I've had with wefwef is that I can't seem to subscribe to communities using it? Like if I go to a sidebar, there is just no subscribe button. But if I go to the same sidebar in my browser, I can subscribe just fine.

Anyone else have this issue?

edit: Just tried again after posting this, and it seems to be working ok now. I've updated it like 3 times in the past 2 days so maybe they fixed it. Neat.

I don’t want it to absolutely explode in popularity to the point all the drama follows with it. I’m kinda liking being with a lot of savvy app users who contribute right now.

Agreed. Lemmy is very nearly active enough for me, so once the big apps like Sync start rolling in it defo will. Beyond that I don't really care if Lemmy never gets as big as reddit.
