Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.
No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment
My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
Much like Google's motto used to read; don't be evil.

I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.
It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.
I am floored.
As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

Y'all are missing the real tragedy of this situation. This api fiasco means the end of RTV, reddit terminal viewer, the world's finest TTY compatible reddit client. The days of reading reddit on an electronic typewriter are over.
Can't show them ads so they probably don't care.
Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.
Let's go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)
This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.
Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.
everything will be replaced eventually in time but whether lemmy will replace reddit (in this case) is the question.
I don’t think Lemmy will replace Reddit, just like Mastodon didn’t replace Twitter. But I think we can build them into great alternatives for people who want to avoid using the big corporate originals (like me).
I personally don't want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I'm scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.

A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post
- some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
- Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
- the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)
Can't wait for more Reddit refugees
Godspeed all my fellow Apollo Astronauts searching for a new home. May you all find safe ground here
Boost refugee reporting in! Can't wait for the boost app for lemmy!
Fuck Reddit and the bootlickers all over the site now. Enjoy brown nosing spez as you scroll through ads on the shitty official app
wild how they complain about the complainers, without realizing that the complainers are the ones who make the site good. Without them it's going to be shitty. Reddit will be alive, but less great.
Rip sync
RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.
It’s been a very chill and peaceful switch, once I get used to the change I plan on helping any way I can to help the community grow. We can rebuild together 🖖
Same. I’m posting more because these are real communities on a platform that isn’t run by a bunch of corporate pricks. It’s real community. Not a business.
Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

RIP boost.
Boost for Lemmy is coming.
Former RIFer here.
Infinity for reddit user here, as much as I love the app, and the work the developer has done on it, and even though the app will continue on a subscription based model, I have had it with reddit, full fediverse citizen from now on
Yeah, I still have it working with the workaround of compiling it with my own API key, but decided not to update this any more. When it stops working like that I am out, not that I actually use it that much anymore.
I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.
Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.
Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.
I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.
I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.
Rip Apollo Fuck u/spez
