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.
Omg I've missed that icon on my home screen :O
Same brudda
Imported my data from Boost for Reddit. Haven't had time to look around much yet, but so far so good!
Hallelujah indeed also already bought the ad free version
The app seems really smooth so far but unfortunately, Lemmy is dying. Outside of a few active subs, most are ghost towns that haven't had new posts in weeks.
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.
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.
