Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝
Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.
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.
The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.
It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.
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
I’m the same way!
What app are you using? So far I’ve tried Liftoff, but I’m looking for something closer to Relay
I’m using Jerboa and have been testing Thunder since yesterday, not bad, but still a bit limited, we need to be patient and give the developers some time, there are already like 10 apps and a couple of forks of third party Reddit apps in active development.
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.

Wefwef is amazing. Only thing that I’ve noticed I’m missing so far is the endless moving back and forward by swiping to right/left.
That’s been my favorite part! Best accidental find
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.
Take it as a reminder that we should always be faithful and coherent to our ideals!
Much like Google’s motto used to read; don’t be evil.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)
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.
Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can’t wait for Sync for Lemmy.
Let’s go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
Godspeed all my fellow Apollo Astronauts searching for a new home. May you all find safe ground here

Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone
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.
Boost refugee reporting in! Can’t wait for the boost app for lemmy!
Rip sync
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
This is my first time joining an online community from the beginning. I’m so hype for this.
