Tbh I just hope that reddit will fail after 1st of july just so they would finally understand that the community is everything.

RIF has also now fallen
same bro, even anon browsing got shutdown lol
It won’t die in a straight line, but this is an inflection point that can help this or another platform mature to the point that it becomes an easier move for the next wave of dissidents.
Unfortunately I don’t see that happening. It will just continue getting Tik-Tok-ified
I can’t speak for others, but for me Apollo WAS Reddit. With it being gone, I’ve now moved on to Lemmy with wefwef.
Hopefully with time (and a growing user base) we can all call this place our new home!
Was browsing Sync For Reddit a few minutes ago when it finally shut down. Just got the following notification:
Sync For Reddit has shutdown Thank you for using Sync. It’s been one hell of a ride.
Man am I pissed, but I’m happy to be here now.
I’m in the same boat
We’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Sync for Lemmy in ~6 weeks!
If you didn’t already know
Same here. I saw Sync developer was migrating to this platform so decided to check it out
On the bright side, he’s making sync for lemmy now
I’m one of them
Seems a good a thread as any for my first post. Exciting times. Reddit showing its true colours might well make the internet just a little bit of a better place if it helps the Fediverse take off.
I’m excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I’m really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.
I’ll admit I’m moving from reddit and don’t yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I’m currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there’s a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there’s multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I’ve subscribed to them all and I guess that’s just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.
Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
I honestly mind-blowing the way it has come alive in the last few weeks.
Was there any content/activity before then?
Oh yeah, but not as much. And many of the communities that have popped up since, would probably not have had enough activity to be worth starting before now.
Brand new here, seems a little clunky but I’ll get used to it.
It does take a bit of poking around to learn, but once you get the hang of it things are pretty good. I’m excited for Sync for Lemmy so I have a more familiar app to use.
I currently trying https://wefwef.app/ interface, and it’s really clean (copy of Apollo ui)
Been using Wefwef the last couple days and it’s great.
I think we’ve been long overdue to replace essential social functions - like discussion forums - with community-run free software. I’ll put up with a lot of clunky for that payoff: people being able to discuss a topic without corporations getting between them.

thanks god, I’m here from another instance
They could really do with better explanation of the federated servers before people sign up. I did do a little research before I knew which instance to use
Well, that’s why open source is so powerful - everything can (and, in fact, should) be done by community for community
Usually developers aren’t good writers :)
Yeah, I’m sure it’s only getting worse… I’m in a few instances, and haven’t payed too much attention to what others were around for a couple of weeks now.
I still hope it will become easier one day to Docker-host a Lemmy instance where other Docker setup and containers are already present and cannot be changed just for Lemmy.
RIP RIF. Long live Lemmy!
Already here
Just arrived after sync stopped working… seems like a nice place :)
Welcome! Have an updoot! And yes, in my experience, it is.
If we keep informing people about them.
wefwef.app is the best rn imo; starting to feel like Apollo already.
I say people should keep pushing Lemmy apps in reddit until at least a week after Sync for Lemmy is out in a few weeks
It’s a pretty good Apollo clone! It will tide me over in my grief, at least. However long that takes.
I cant get wefwef to work it keeps saying “problem fetching posts”
lemmy.world is ratelimiting the app. You’ll have to use another instance for now or wait for the next update
Already here. Lol
Just got approved this morning. Glad to be here
Welcome to Lemmy! Have an updoot.
That’s why I’m here Obi Wan meme
Check this out!
Can’t do that on reddit!
or this
There’s always a better meme.
Do we have a /c/prequelmemes? I love me some prequelmemes
I think is just Star Wars, search to find it.
Found it right after commenting
Hello there!
Looking forward to some reddit app developer with a budget (just not as much of a budget as Reddit dreams of) during stepping in to give a better ui to this thing
Check out thunder, the lemmy app with the prettiest UI so far, IMO. Also you can change the web UI theme in your user settings. The dark ones are a lot nicer.
Hi it’s me
