Does everybody thinks that this migration is gonna change peoples mind about not using Reddit anymore ? Here's hoping.

I’m fucking stoked to see so many people like me (who are pissed at how corporations fuck their own product just to make more money) migrate over here. For once I feel like I actually have a way to “protest” corporations and their greed. I know the vast majority of Reddit users didn’t care, but I know many of us are here to break free from all of that tomfoolery. Just happy to be apart of it. Don’t know how long it will last, but I’m hoping that it does.

I’m just here. Cause Apollo is dead :(

me too, but i think im honestly done with reddit. i miss a lot of my niche communities but I created lemmy versions of some and I'm cross posting some top posts from reddit just to get things going a bit.

i see a lot of possibilities with lemmy, there are already some great apps being made (my fave rn is memmy, not quite native ios like apollo, but has a really polished look and gestures feel natural it's easy to get the hang of)

Yea I’m using Memmy myself. I have never not hated the Reddit app so I’m also done with Reddit as a whole

their app is truly god awful

i downloaded that first after apollo died just to give it a shot, but it felt like a giant ad

sponsored posts everywhere, premium features plastered all over, i felt like there were micro transactions just to use it

the website isn't too bad with adblocker, but after what they pulled with Christian and Apollo, I'm just done.
