Happy to be part of the sudden stress test of your software and infrastructure! June 30 hit and I needed a place to go. Found Lemmy. Found Connect for Lemmy. I don't know if this is the future for a Reddit-like service, but I'm pleased to see some real activity and I'm glad to be a part.

Connect for Lemmy seems the best all around Android app so far. Have an eye on Boost for Lemmy and a few others.

We'll see how this goes as usage ramps up.

That's what I'm using here. It has a few bugs (I can't turn off swipe gestures, and pull down to refresh never works), but it's minimal, to the point, and easy on the eyes. I think Boost for Lemmy has a good shot at being the popular client when it's ready, but for now, Connect seems to be stable on my device. I do like the web desktop UI.

I can't be too critical though because the whole community and user base is so young. If the Lemmy.world stats are any indication, the app userbase must be exploding too, testing paths that just haven't been tested much before.

My first comment!

Just heard about Lemmy from a random tweet. I was banned from reddit after ten years!

This feels nice. It’s cool seeing the precise up and downvote counts. Feels like ancient reddit.
