Its been one day without Reddit

It's been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry."

I have been using Wefwef and Memmy, and I’m not sure what I prefer, as they’re quite similar, but I think Wefwef is edging it out for me. It feels a little better.

I’m still on Reddit at the moment because some of the niche communities I’m into just don’t have a lot going on here. For instance, I love wrestling, I’m part of three wrestling communities on here, and Reddit still has more going on.

That said, I’m looking to get off Reddit completely sooner than later. Still finding all my communities. I don’t expect this place to get as big as Reddit, but I do want to see a little more activity.

Yep its jerboa for me

15 year club on reddit. I've parted a few weeks ago and not coming back.

I hope lemmy gets good and better content.

I miss infinity on my side. Jerboa has been great for me.

I’ve been using wefwef too (and I’m also an Apollo refugee). Liking it so far, even if I am very confused about how a lot of this works. I hope the Lemmy community continues to grow!

Wefwef is incredible. I've never seen a web app that's even half as technically impressive, and it gets 2-3 major updates a day. Huge hats off to the devs.

Killing Bacon Reader was a deal breaker for me. Not looking back at all.

Finally glad reddit is dying

using connect rn, it's pretty good looking but a bit buggy, i guess i'm waiting for updates!

It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.

Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn't have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn't want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.

I can't use a client where I'm ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am... We'll see how it goes.

I like Summit best of the three apps I've tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It's a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.

As for missing reddit, well... it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I'm hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!

Edit: yeah no, wefwef blows the rest out of the water, fr

So far Jerboa has been the best one for me, I tried wefwef but wasn't a big fan (and couldn't work out how to uncensor NSFW content across the board, very annoying haha).

But Boost is coming out at some point! I'm really looking forward to it!! <3

So far I'm doing okay, just tough with how slow everything runs and all the network errors and stuff, but it's early days so I'm patient :-)

I’ve been enjoying Memmy and Thunder. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and Wefwef is pretty damn close to Apollo. Personally, I’m excited for Artemis, which like Apollo was, is aiming to be a similarly smooth and robust standalone iOS app.

I never used any Reddit app other than the official one but I wanted to check out Lemmy as an alternative and I’ve gotta say, I’m liking it a lot so far! I’m on wefwef as well and it’s a pretty good experience. I’ll probably start contributing to some of the communities I’m interested in to help them grow and hopefully the growth continues across the platform!

I’m also looking into hosting my own instance, I might work on getting that set up in the next couple weeks.

Only issue I’ve seen is that it’s been a little slow here and there, but I understand that it’s in the growing pains stage so I’m not too worried.
