I didn’t come sooner because I thought it was going to be too different. Last night Apollo stopped working for me so I followed a link talking about wefwef. Been here 10 minutes and the similarity to Apollo is awesome. I know Christian said he was going to move on to other things but if he could just invest his time in this instead…god I’d be so happy!

I'm in the same boat, but coming from RIF. Tried to use Mastodon before but wasn't huge on the interface. I'm pleasantly surprised so far, I'm using Connect for Lemmy with reverse list view and it's ...not terribly dissimilar.

That said, it's obviously still new, and slow. I'm going to see where this goes.
