How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.
How it going here? I'm looking forward to helping fuck up Reddit's IPO.
Done with Reddit's bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
Hey! I noticed your title doesn’t match the question in your body text. Could you maybe change that?
I'd recommend voyager first it's what I've been mostly using and since I started there's been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It's been pretty incredible to see! There's also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I've been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha
I'm using Jerboa.
Voyager is what I use, a web app. You can use it as https://m.lemmy.world and is a very easy URL to remember. Moreover, at work the proxies filters do not block it!
You can check this compilation of Lemmy apps.
I personally prefer Jerboa and Thunder. I think I like Jerboa more currently. Neither are perfect. Missing some features, missing more customization, and has bugs here and there. They are getting better and better though!
I am waiting to see if the Slide fork really happens as I used to love that for Reddit before it got abandoned.
Great actually. I think a large portion of Reddit was just bots and shills. I haven’t felt a need to return tbh
Little rough around the edges, but preparing for smooth sailing
It's going fine. There's enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.
How to help fuck up Reddit's IPO:
- Using Lemmy itself is already a way to do so. Post, comment, vote, mod, this kind of stuff. In special, create and/or nurture communities about things that you care about, sometimes a post goes a long way.
- If you got the money, time, and technical expertise to do so, consider building your own instance. Specially if you want to focus on a niche subject.
- If you still have your Reddit account, and if Power Delete Suite still works, consider replacing your content there with literal gibberish ("4593fnjkfgehjkre" style). Reddit is trying to profit from corps training bots, and gibberish makes it less valuable.
- If some content creator mentions resources in Reddit, make sure to mention available sources for the same resources elsewhere, or ask for them.
- Teach people how to google stuff. Seriously. ~50% of the Reddit traffic is due to people using "site:reddit.com" in Google to make the results less crappy, but you can get similar results with negative query searches, exact terms, and stuff like this.
Connect is the best app rn. Followed closely by liftoff.
Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.
Along with that, Voyager has been an amazing app and the rate at which they are improving it has been unbelievable. I feel like I see a substantial update every day or two.
I’ve been off Reddit since the protest and am pretty much at the point that I don’t miss anything about it. There’s a handful of Apollo features I still miss, but at this rate, Voyager will fill in those gaps in no time.
Kbin is already 🔥🔥, and with the Artemis app being developed by @hariette, it's even better!
Once it launches it's gonna be a blast.Kbin is so goddamn good it's scary. Reads and posts to both Lemmy and Mastodon, can subscribe by user, community (magazine), or domain. It's new and still under development, so expect bumps, but it absolutely crushes Reddit once you get your subscriptions set.
Yo, anyone happens to know how to make Infinity For Everything work with Lemmy? Like, I know I need to point it to lemmy (dunno if website or API) but I don't know how
Boost for Reddit is coming out for Lemmy soon. You can pre-register. Same with Sync.
Alternating between liftoff and wefwef
Memmy is great. Voyager / Wefwef is my second choice. I still have to use the baseline web interface for some things, including moderating. So it’s still coming together.
But I echo your sentiments. Fuck Reddit’s bullshit.
For anyone on iOS mlem is working great for me. Still in a limited testing but I believe they’re ready to release on the App Store soon.
https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder for Android and iOS
Thunder, Liftoff and the PWA, since it's the least buggy. But it's the most ugly.
I'm a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I'll bounce over to that app. Overall, I've been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn't have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don't have to feel as gross doing it.
Memmy for iOS (already on the app store)
If you’re on iOS, checkout Memmy in the App Store, or Mlem in a couple days.
Or goto https://m.lemmy.world/ and use the Voyager web app clone of Apollo.
I'm really digging Liftoff on Android. Simple and painless.
You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I've tried so far.
Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.
With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it's very fluid.
All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.
Good luck on your lemmy journey.

You can try Memmy. Smoothest for me with daily updates.
