I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.zip)

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren't that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It's not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

I got the beta Mlem for iPhone. I’m liking it better than the mobile web. For two days it seems to be growing ok. I don’t miss the ads every other post for sure! (Didn’t have on Apollo either)

Mlem is off to a good start, but it’s just not far enough along for me to switch full-time. Once the dev rounds out some of the QoL improvements (collapsing), I think it can be great.

I find the mobile web to be great though, for the most part. I love to look (I use dark mode), and I have it saved to my home screen so it feels like a dedicated app.
