    It’s really nice to see genuinely thoughtful comments on lemmy. It’s definitely a refreshing change from the endless streams of tired, overused jokes that dominate that other site.

      It’s just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.

        I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

        No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn’t really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking “This aint worth it anymore” so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.

    I’m done with Reddit. I can’t support their behaviour so I’m moving on. I’m currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I’m interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.

    I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.

      Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.

        I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.

        I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.

        Where did you go when the protests started? I remember this place was barren a couple weeks ago.

          Not commenter, but I’m going to barge in - I literally went and touched grass. A week away from social media and reduced computer time. By the time I returned, the Lemmyverse was popping off.

    I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!

    Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!

      I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.

        I believe mlem has been abandoned. I think I saw a post from the dev.

          The original dev has transferred leadership to someone else, but development is still active. A new release came out today, actually.

      I’ve settled my focus on Memmy with some periodic checks on Mlem. I’m a sucker to try as many new Lemmy apps as I can but Memmy is where I spend my time. The development pace is amazing.

      Sync Dev was giving me limit errors today. I reinstalled it and it was working again but I know it’s only a matter of time until the end. I won’t use the official reddit app or website obviously, so I signed up for lemmy today!

    There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.

    I still use Infinity for reddit from time to time. But these days I spent most of my online time with Jerboa. I had tried the offcial Reddit app and it’s basically unusable on my phone.

    This doesn’t appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.

    The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

    Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

      I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like ‘you aren’t logged into X, login to comment’ when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.

    Really hoping they can get the version incompatibility and stability issues worked out. Most users are going to want to use a mobile app they can just get on the play store/app store and currently Jerboa is still experiencing a lot of crashes and weird glitchiness. I tried Thunder too, but it also crashes randomly, but at least it lets you log into whatever instance you want, unlike Jerboa 0.0.35+
