My time on Reddit died simultaneously with Apollo. I’m doing what I can by not giving that place anymore traffic from me.
Found out about Lemmy yesterday. While it’s not there with niche interests at this point, it definitely cures the itch.
You want to stick it to the man? Quit going there altogether people!
Now try wefwef it’s like Apollo
My screen time was more than halved when Apollo went down, it’s slowly increasing with wefwef though which is probably bad for me but still fun
Shhh just gimme some of that internet copium and doomscrolling, I need my endorphins
I’m using Memmy for Lemmy and the dev has said they were inspired by Apollo. There’s even a shoutout to Christian on the github page. It’s just had it’s official app store launch, definitely worth giving a try.
I would say Mlem is also inspired by Apollo, so I would recommended it as well; I keep jumping back and forth between Memmy, Mlem and wefwef.
Tried Thunder and Liftoff!, but they feel very Material Design-y to me, so using them on iOS feels off. Which is a shame because both are pretty fast.
Lemmios is also promising, but it’s still on early development so it’s a bit rough around the edges.
I’m also on Memmy and I like it!
I’m using memmy; it’s pretty similar to Apollo as well.
Name was changed to Voyager, fyi
thank god, ive been avoiding wefwef just due to the name alone
Heads up it's officially called Voyager now.
I like Memmy better. Inspired by Apollo also.
Same for me with Boost, and SAME for me with Lemmy lol. I'm using Liftoff now
Which app are using if you don’t mind me asking?
I recommend Voyager, basically a beat for beat recreation of Apollo for Lemmy.
Just using the Lemmy app
stock lemmy app does not exist yet on iOS publicly
My bad, Memmy
all good!
Yeah I feel the same way. I'm on here and it's working but I also do miss my years and years worth of subs I joined that made my feed perfect to what I liked, especially the smaller ones that I hope make it over here someday. Right now my lemmy feed just mostly feels like meme after meme or some politics post which is not really what I like at all so I may have to spend some time and figure out how to narrow my interests more on here.
That’s definitely the worst part for me too. But if people make the switch here and the user base grows and over time you curate your feed here, it could eventually be that again.
I’m just ready to sacrifice that to say “screw you” to Reddit. Finding this platform has just been a pleasant surprise
This place is a lot better than I expected it would be tbh, and I've been here a couple weeks now. It's encouraging to see.
Reddit is really killing itself with bot mods. Its less tollerant than ever. they will ban all human users wuthin a few months at this pace.
Good
You can get your multireddit and import it to some clients, like voyager/wefwef
I'm lucky that my curated feed was mostly open source coding, AI tech and solar punk so I've been able to find even better communities than Reddit had. The less tech adjacent subs will take longer to build but you can see them starting to establish - I guess the best way to help that is to participate in them and to introduce other people to them.
Welcome! You've probably seen it around already, but just in case, you can search at lemmyversenet/communities and may turn up some of those niche communities that are just difficult to find otherwise. Ofc, maybe they don't exist yet, but always worth a look!
if you are on iOS, use Memmy. it’s really close to Apollo functionality :)
there’s also many iOS clients in beta right now too
Voyager on Android is good too!
just looked at it as well. it’s a web app but it seems cool! i also like how it’s self hostable too
They have an app link too, so it's easy to use on the phone standalone.
Trying it out right now on my phone for a bit, i still like memmy a lot more tho :)
Im part off your Username Ü
You’re inside of me
