& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Still trying to find my footings. The thing I miss most is active engagement. The comment sections sometimes feel so empty. But I will give it time. All in all, I find the experience better than I anticipated. Using wefwef on my phone and the instance-site on my desktop and laptop. I am sure a decent app will be developed in time.

I felt that at first but I've found the engagement to be more meaningful here when it does happen, even though it's sometimes sparse or not at all. I came in the previous influx after spez started forcing subs open. I don't really miss it that much now.

I also didn't even bother engaging on Reddit at all, but doing so on Lemmy feels way more worth it for some reason

I've had a genuine thank you from another user, days after I had posted a response here.

I could post on reddit that the sky was blue in response and somehow get turned into a hatemonger that oppressed a flightless subspecies of microwave ovens.

I joined towards the beginning of June and have no intention of going back to reddit. The only exception was to delete everything I had posted there.

I used to save stuff to my own sub reddit, not sure if it's all long gone now. Did you manage to copy before deleting?

I’ve only been here for like a day, but I’ve noticed that too. There’s fewer conversations, but what there is is very worthwhile. I haven’t opened a post to see five people trying to get their joke in first, which could sometimes get a bit annoying haha
