& 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.

It reminds me of Reddit a decade ago when most posts in the specialized subs didn't have much interaction either. But the interaction was deeper and more meaningful and did not consist of everybody trying to crank out witty one-liners to whatever topic.

The other thing I try to consider: What was okay maybe a couple of years ago now feels weirdly "empty" because our brains have been Pavloved into having a deluge of dopamine-inducing content washing over us all the time....

Pet peeve of mine was the top comment being a low hanging fruit joke.. Every time. Quite excited for conversation to be more meaningful.

Yep, when I first joined reddit the amount of upvotes a post on frontpage is usually on the hundreds, only the most upvoted ones break to thousands.
