I'm surprised at how easy it was to make the switch. Now that servers are stabilizing here this is pretty much a very similar experience.

It'll be nice if more and more migrate over.

There's something amusing about opening up what's almost a Reddit clone a day after and seeing content and subs that would have been exactly like it was on Reddit here instead.

As long as momentum continues, we may see more and more leaving Reddit for what's nearly the same thing with a lot less BS.

I just hope Lemmy servers and infrastructure can handle the growing popularity, especially once there's popular native clients that switch from Reddit to it.

Would be very happy if spez ends up having killed his own platform in future retrospection though.

I think I need to redirect reddit.com in my DNS to lemmy.world, because my muscle memory always brings me back to reddit

I desperately miss RIF, and I have a community I care about on Reddit that I mod.

But I'm going to see if I can rebuild it here. I think Reddit has basically committed suicide.

It's been one day without Reddit and I've realized that I don't really need it, despite being on the site since 2009 and by far my most used social network. At the end of the day, the community is more important than the site, and I think most of the communities have far since declined on Reddit, then moved on to Discord/ Lemmy/ whatever.

I am finding myself absentmindedly clicking my Apollo icon every hour. I’m happy to say screw Reddit for years and years of bucking user preferences and accessible 3rd party apps, but this is definitely an unfortunate transition to leave behind all the many years of content and critical mass of activity Reddit has. I’m still having to use the browser version to access subreddits related to school admissions stuff because there’s extremely valuable content I just can’t get elsewhere yet.

I just hope something pushes another big wave of users off of the platform soon and keeps the momentum going. Knowing Reddit admins it’s only a matter of time.

Are there any apps for Lemmy that have a "hide read" feature? I had recently started using Sync for Reddit for that feature, because I like to be able to refresh and see all new posts instead of weeding through stuff I've already seen. Any tips would be appreciated!

I've mostly lurked so far, but I was compelled to create an account after seeing how much responses on assorted lemmy communities remind me of the old phpbb days. Significantly more cordial and well thought out than the average reddit/twitter/what have ye replies. I'm pretty optimistic about the fediverse now that I've experienced it despite initially not thinking much of it; it seems to combine the best elements of web 1.0 and 2.0.

I refuse to download the app from Reddit. If they would have done some good faith negotiation and somehow still didn't work out for Apollo, I would have gone with it. But now, fuck them, fuck spez and fuck the power hungry mods that supported him.

I am happy to call Lemmy and specially lemmy.world my new home. We are in this together and we will push this project further.

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

Ngl find it all a bit confusing still, however it definitely seems like the beginnings of something special

I uninstalled sync when Reddit committed suicide. Using connect now and it's pretty good. Slowly building things back up and communities are coming to life. I don't think Reddit will ever recover.

I've been using lemmy for a couple of weeks now and it's going pretty good. I recently setup a second account on a smaller instance because lemmy.world became often laggy.

I've tried jerboa, liftoff, and took a look at wefwef but I'd prefer an application instead of a webpage. Ofthe three I'd say I like liftoff the best but none of the apps/sites I've tried have all the features I want.

There's a chance that Slide (my preferred reddit app) is going to be repurposed for lemmy so hopefully that pans out. I'll try sync as well when it'sreleased.

I deleted my Reddit account on June 11th, so just over 3 weeks ago, and I don't miss it. Lemmy is doing a perfectly fine job filling that void. I'm quite happy here.

I could never even get into Reddit. I couldn't post because I didn't have karma so it was useless to me.
