People say the real migration will happen on July 1st, but people can't move if they don't know where the apps are going.

Link people to Sync for Lemmy and Liftoff for Lemmy (already usable) on Android

and Memmy for Lemmy (already usable) for those on iOS.

I doubt many people will move. Most people will just start using the official app or move to another website. Lemmy doesn't have much content (yet), and that's yet worse than not having a good app. They will just quick look and go back, if even.

At this point content is definitely needed more than users. I really to stick with lemmy but the content just isn't here... Like you said (yet)

Those Reddit echo bots are really starting to annoy me now too.

I'm still hopeful though, I don't want to go back to Reddit

[–] linearchaos 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I rarely posted content on reddit, but I engaged a lot.

I realized that once I got here, I needed to post content if I wanted to encourage others to do the same.

We need both content and engagement. Engagement drives the content, it's a feedback loop.

Yeah same. I'm a commenter at heart. But, writing is a skill, so it translates into a few things I can post about that might be of value to others.

[–] Evono 4 points 1 year ago

Just post content even if you mirror some from reddit from your favorite communitys just post and others will start.

Connect for Lemmy is in the Play store and not bad.

[–] V4uban 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thunder and Summit are also pretty good suggestions for Android.

I would link people to https://lemmy.world/post/465785

[–] MicroWave 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the link. I've added it to the post as well.

[–] V4uban 2 points 1 year ago

That's nice, thanks

I'm currently using Jerboa on android. Anything stand out that Thunder or Summit do better that's worth me taking a look at?

[–] V4uban 2 points 1 year ago

Mostly the interface. I think it's more a preference thing than an objective aspect

[–] Pipeta 1 points 1 year ago

Hadn't heard of Liftoff, will have to try it out. I'm using Jerboa right now and although a little bit buggy while scrolling it does the job. It's also pretty similar in terms of looks to RiF, which is what I was using until all this mess and it helps a little in the transition. Thanks for recommending!
