& 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?

I have been using Wefwef and Memmy, and I’m not sure what I prefer, as they’re quite similar, but I think Wefwef is edging it out for me. It feels a little better.

I’m still on Reddit at the moment because some of the niche communities I’m into just don’t have a lot going on here. For instance, I love wrestling, I’m part of three wrestling communities on here, and Reddit still has more going on.

That said, I’m looking to get off Reddit completely sooner than later. Still finding all my communities. I don’t expect this place to get as big as Reddit, but I do want to see a little more activity.

Its been one day without Reddit

It's been one week since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry."

Wefwef is incredible. I've never seen a web app that's even half as technically impressive, and it gets 2-3 major updates a day. Huge hats off to the devs.

as a QA Manager that makes me deeply nervous

It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.

This was shared with me my first day & really helped a lot!

Also, one of the first things I noticed when I created my account & searching for communities was that you can actually block a community. If you didn't want to see it, is all. I just thought that was pretty awesome considering how many times I wanted to on Reddit but couldn't.

Killing Bacon Reader was a deal breaker for me. Not looking back at all.

Former RIF user here. I rather not use reddit than use the official spyware app

I deleted my account once Sync stopped working. So glad Ljdawson is switching it over to lemmy

[-] Laticauda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I like Summit best of the three apps I've tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It's a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.

As for missing reddit, well... it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I'm hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!

Edit: yeah no, wefwef blows the rest out of the water, fr
