I’d love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.
I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.
Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.
Check out r/lemmino lol.
Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol
Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd
Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:
Ive been using FreshRSS for years. You can either selfhost it or use one of the public instances.
Thanks, I’ll check that one out too :)
A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It’s also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?
I’m moderately excited, looking forward to exploring the new landscape, but aside of Lyney, I don’t particularly want to pull for any of the characters. (Maaaybe Wriothesley, depending on his personality and kit.)
I’ll get Furina since collecting archons is a safe bet. Aside from her I’m still evaluating who I really want (possibly Arlechinno, Navia and Neuvillete).
I’m much more interested in the lore and hoping hoyo finally starts moving the celestia/abyss plot forward big time. It’s about time we see some real big stuff to happen.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to meeting Navia in-story, she seems nice, just not sure if pull-worthy nice. Otoh I really like geo characters, so if her kit is good, maybe :D I’d love another geo catalyst.
Re story: Yeah, tbh that plot arc is pretty much the only aspect of Genshin’s story I find engaging. The rest is too juvenile for my taste 😅
I’d really love her to be a Geo off-field DPS, but without her damage being tied to a construct like Albedo. I need more damage for my Noelle team 🥲
Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.
I’d be terrible as a mod, but I might be up to preprare the posts when I hit my vacation in a few weeks.
Also, there’s already a community, but with low traction right now.
I have been using CommaFeed for years. I’m not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.
thanks, I’ll check it out :)
I like theoldreader. It looks like Google’s reader from way back when
thanks, it looks nice!
I use this app on Android to view my feeds that are on that site:
looks nice, but I’m a PC user
It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.
Huh, just looked him up, sad that he died so young :c
EDIT: Sorry, I missed the “web based”. Today I’m incredibly distracted.
Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.
If Lemmy supported images in it’s RSS feeds I’d never leave my client.

The bots won’t stop. And probably have increased. So it’ll be tough to see without slices we’ll never get
That’s the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how “little impact” the protests and migration have had.
Here’s a little secret: Reddit mods can’t know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they’re no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots — they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.
For me, that triggers a great big “Hmmmm”.
I made the mistake of reading comments on one thread (I moved here full time) on r/Iamatotalpieceofshit about landlords.
It’s turned into a capitalistic hell hole, not only some of the horrible comments you read but also just need to look at the way the votes go, I felt disgusted tbh.
They bootlick way more than they admit they do.
My local area sub is still pretty active, but I did notice that in the other subreddit the comments section is a lot more sparse.
They are probably confused about how to use an app that behaves like an ad carousel
Just need ma boi Sync.
Awaiting Boost for Lemmy, but I’m happy with Connect for now.
So far, all the lemmy apps I’ve used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.
Looking forward to Sync, though!
They’ve progressed very rapidly. Personally I don’t think we’re still in the “very buggy” era. I’m participating daily without major issues. There’s just a lot left to build.
I like how open it is, their git is pretty active and we get updates almost daily.
wefwef was renamed voyager a few days ago
What was wefwef supposed to mean anyway?
It’s a combination of the word “we” (as in social) and “woof woof,” as if to say “together we all bark like dogs.”
I’m going to keep calling it WefWef since I like that name more lol. Not a fan of the Voyager renaming.
Haven’t reinstalled the app so that it is still called that on my phone.
Probably wanted to keep with the space theme, given that it’s the go-to for Apollo users right now. I think it’s a neat little nod.
Not sure when you last tried Jerboa. It really shit the bed during the Lemmy 0.18 transition period but it’s been working a lot better since Jerboa v38 and is quite smooth.
I just use the mobile web interface. Good enough for now.
I was using mobile website on ios but then tried the Memmy app. The app experience is much better.
It’s mobile optimized, but it’s painfully slow and laggy. Have they fixed the annoying post auto-loading?
My lemmy.world instance used to be painfully slow, but it works perhaps faster than established big social sites now, probably due to the lack of trackers.
I enjoy Connect, fast and works well!
!memmy@memmy.ml is great on iOS
Memmy gang rise up 😤
Second. It’s the one I use exclusively now.
Connect has been working well for me (a thousand times more reliably than the official reddit app ever has).
I encountered a weird bug with connect, where I’m logged in, but I can’t access my profile or inbox. Some parts of the app think I’m logged in, others do not.
Could that be to do with when some instances got compromised and they had to log everyone out? I had to log out and back in as my profile/inbox weren’t showing after that, but it’s been fine since then.
Connect dev here. Yup exactly and it was a bit wonky afterwards too, seems to be okay now though.
Noice 😁
Connect works well for me.
started using Liftoff since today I’m quiete like it. better than Jerboa i used before and is almost “there” to where i would want it to be.
Liftoff has all those weird issues regarding subscribing to communities, I got a “not logged in” or general authorization API error.
I just downloaded connect and so far, so good. I can see my subscriptions, I can post… It also looks somewhat familiar as a Sync user.
did you had those issues with lemmy.world? because i had the same issues with jerboa and other apps on lemmy.world. seems to be an issue with the instance not apps.
Thunder has been amazingly stable for me. I’ve tried everything else for android and they all stagger with loading, while thunder is buttery smooth.
Voyager is great too but I find it struggles keeping its place if you scroll as much as I do.
Voyager definitely needs to add some loading/activity indicators and implement better separation between interface and data fetching. But it’s definitely the cleanest UI I’ve tried so far.
Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything’s fast. How do I edit a comment, though?
weird ux but you have to hold your phone upside down when you long press it
Doesn’t work for me
Edit: oh, it’s a swipe gesture. I wish I could edit directly from my comment history, though.

Ribbit
There is r/Lemmy and r/LemmyMigration
They did ban lemmymigration, right?
How would a Lemmy subreddit be useful? The only thing I could see would just be a pinned message regarding general guidance
I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.
Yeah, that’s a problem with a lot of FOSS passion projects. We devs kinda like writting code, but not really documenting it. Hopefully with the influx of devs helping that will improve
More devs that don’t want to write code?
Edit: damn, meant to say write documentation. We only want to code!
Well, more devs that have to sit down and figure out how the code works and then document it for future new devs
I don’t really like all the LLM hype, but I’m hoping that documentation will eventually be generated by some open source model, with human verification
Maybe we’ll eventually get the corresponding influx of tech writers.
It’s like almost every piece of software, period.
Fediverse software API documentation is bad across all fediverse software.
These days the standard is to create an API Doc out of a OpenAPI document generated from the code itself. Someone will probably contribute to it at some point.

Nah doesn’t sleep in the gutter.
He sleeps in his multimillion dollar bunker
Seriously: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich
Someone should make a list of people who have invested in this… you know for reasons.
Oh yeah he’s one of those guys. Of course.

Infinity is becoming Infinity for Everything Threadiverse
I’ve been using the Memmy app and it does a decent job of improving the experience for an Apollo refugee, makes the transition away from Reddit much easier
Go and find about about Voyager! https://vger.app/
So this was wefwef right, before it was rebranded as Voyager? Really impressive for a web app
Memmy is fantastic and the developer pushes updates to TestFlight almost daily.
I think having a link aggregator is going to be so great for the fediverse. It allows us to gather content from all over the internet and bring to to the often secluded fediverse.
It also means we can post links to fediverse discussions and draw people in.
