Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit? (self.asklemmy)

I myself am really on the fence about this.

I hate what Reddit has done, as I was removed as a moderator on my sub. But I much prefer the UI to Lemmy so far. I’m also having a hard time understanding how this all works. I was familiar with Reddit, and it is obviously a way more active community.

But I also used Apollo and hate how they’ve done him so dirty.

Will you guys return if Reddit rights it’s wrongs?

I don’t think I will. I’m not fully moved over - I’ll use Apollo and if/whenthat goes away, then I’m done with Reddit. I’m having a harder time navigating lemmy and getting used to the concept, but it’s also kinda exciting. I remember joining Reddit in ‘09 and it was a similar feel, but this is better. So I think under most circumstances, unless they like get rid of apex and make some serious amends to some others, I won’t go back.

If you haven’t tried Mlem the beta ios app yet, you should. It’s still definitely a new concept and totally does feel like the early days but I have enjoyed the app a lot.

I’d also recommend Memmy beta for any Apollo users out there. It’s still very early in its development but it’s very obviously designed to mimic Apollo and I’m really impressed with how much has been achieved in so little time by the developer.

I would also give a shout-out to Limbo: https://lemmy.world/c/limbo , it looks promising so far (based on Lemmur)

Mlem is great, but I think the TestFlight is full right now so you might have a hard time getting in.

A 1.0 release may be coming soon though!

I’m in the exact same boat Apollo was so integral to Reddit for me….I also agree there is something exciting about figuring this out. I’m enjoying it, I think I’ll just go where most users go
