Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

it's nice, but we need more content and more 3rd party mobile apps, i mean Jerboa is nice, but many of us are used to their favorite reddit app

Sadly, Apollo😢.

for me it's Relay, sad days are coming

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Relay here too. Cheers to u/dbrady

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yup, i dream of Relay for Lemmy port, would be rad AF

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That dream is in my head as well :)

I'm hoping Christian (the dev of Apollo) takes on making a Lemmy client. :D

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would love if that happens but I don't think it could be worth it for him (appart from being a side project). And I bet that he is exhausted as hell after all the drama.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exhausted and probably devastated, yeah. Maybe if lemmy takes off in popularity. :) I'd love to support great devs like him.

I used Slide, not Apollo, but the amount of reverence that app seems to get here makes me wonder if he did port it over how much that would expedite/improve migration from reddit. If I were in his position, I'd do it out of spite.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed, he would be the poster child of Lemmy and thousands would follow!

I was just thinking the same, except with Sync for Android, would love to see all that work kept alive as a Lemmy client now that Reddit has screwed everything up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I would expect that a platform without an app to push will have a usable mobile-friendly site at least. (Most users are mobile, so it would be strange if they didn't.)
