Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝
Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.
Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.
No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.
I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment
My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time
The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.
It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.
It’s time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.
It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.
I am floored.

Tried the “official” app for the first time in years, uninstalled after 10 min… RIP Rif

I’m dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I’ll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.
Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone
Upvoted via wefwef (or Apollo II as I named it)
Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can’t wait for Sync for Lemmy.
As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it’s basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.
I’m using wefwef too, but it doesn’t keep me logged in for some reason.
Since it’s browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?
Fuck Reddit and the bootlickers all over the site now. Enjoy brown nosing spez as you scroll through ads on the shitty official app
wild how they complain about the complainers, without realizing that the complainers are the ones who make the site good. Without them it’s going to be shitty. Reddit will be alive, but less great.
RIP boost.
Boost for Lemmy is coming.
RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.
Rip Apollo Fuck u/spez
Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here
Beehaw has been riddled with crashes. Its a growing pain, but kind of a good thing
Infinity for reddit user here, as much as I love the app, and the work the developer has done on it, and even though the app will continue on a subscription based model, I have had it with reddit, full fediverse citizen from now on
Yeah, I still have it working with the workaround of compiling it with my own API key, but decided not to update this any more. When it stops working like that I am out, not that I actually use it that much anymore.
