It automatically downloaded today while I was driving home. Been on it for about 5 minutes and it's already better than liftoff.

I love liftoff... but this app is better in quite a lot of ways.

Hell I can search for a specific community and get results. Liftoff wouldn't do that for me.

Good times.

Paid for the app btw.

Imported my data from Boost for Reddit. Haven't had time to look around much yet, but so far so good!

Wait, you can do that? What comes over? Custom keyword blocks and such? I left my old version installed in hopes I could export/import but thought that might be left out...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It imports your theme/ui along with everything you blocked

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Amazing, I'll have to look into that.

As someone who's been on Lemmy for years, this comment is hilarious.

Lemmy used to have like one post a day. In fact I remember days where 24 hours would go by and there were literally no new posts. It's now 1% the size of Reddit. It has a longggg way to go before it's dying again.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Not really dying so much as those communities never took off since they didn't have enough users. The communities that did take off are doing ok.

The other ones need time to grow

Lemmy's sorting is really weird. When sorting content by Hot, I've found a bunch of dead posts with no comments. But when switching to Active I get a bunch of posts filled with comments, but they tend to be a bit older so it can get stale seeing the same posts even if there are new comments.

There's no algorithm here pushing stuff to the top so you're kind of on your own curating communities to get your home page not completely dead.

It'll be up and down. The more apps that support it, the more folks will make the switch.
