I like that I have yet to encounter the N-word unlike some other "reddit alternatives"

I've only tried one Lemmy app so far, Jerboa. It's fine...

I'm still struggling with the muscle memory of opening baconreader pretty much all the time. I spent some time on Reddit too, on my PC, and it's kinda bland.... Since everyone seems to be here. But this place is still ramping up, so I'm interested to see what happens in the coming weeks.

The only thing I really miss from Reddit is the cryptocurrency mainreddit and the subreddits. Lemmy is definitely going to be amazing once other like-minded individuals migrate to lemmy.

So far Jerboa has been the best one for me, I tried wefwef but wasn't a big fan (and couldn't work out how to uncensor NSFW content across the board, very annoying haha).

But Boost is coming out at some point! I'm really looking forward to it!! <3

So far I'm doing okay, just tough with how slow everything runs and all the network errors and stuff, but it's early days so I'm patient :-)

I used Boost Android app for Reddit and now moved to WefWef. It's already really good and looking very promising for the future considering the speed at which it is evolving

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."

Yep its jerboa for me

I’ve been enjoying Memmy and Thunder. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and Wefwef is pretty damn close to Apollo. Personally, I’m excited for Artemis, which like Apollo was, is aiming to be a similarly smooth and robust standalone iOS app.

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.

I never used any Reddit app other than the official one but I wanted to check out Lemmy as an alternative and I’ve gotta say, I’m liking it a lot so far! I’m on wefwef as well and it’s a pretty good experience. I’ll probably start contributing to some of the communities I’m interested in to help them grow and hopefully the growth continues across the platform!

I’m also looking into hosting my own instance, I might work on getting that set up in the next couple weeks.

Only issue I’ve seen is that it’s been a little slow here and there, but I understand that it’s in the growing pains stage so I’m not too worried.

using connect rn, it's pretty good looking but a bit buggy, i guess i'm waiting for updates!

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.

15 year club on reddit. I've parted a few weeks ago and not coming back.

I hope lemmy gets good and better content.

I have been trying Jerboa. No real complaints about the app, I just want to see the more niche spaces get more activity

Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn't have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn't want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.

I can't use a client where I'm ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am... We'll see how it goes.

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

It feels so weird without my easy access to niche porn. Like I can get porn anywhere, but some of that niche stuff, it's hard to find that stuff again.
