Speaking of 3rd party apps, here’s a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I’m testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I’m testing Jerboa. What’s everyone’s favorite app so far?
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.
Yes!! I also like liftoff the best for now :)
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.

edit: do we really have to copy the ‘/s’ for sarcasm?
Came here to say this.
The /s should remain a thing of the past. It’s embarrassing.
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.
Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.
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’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.
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.
Nice. And yeah, things are moving so fast right now.
We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people
Also more developers
What’s crazy is this is only tracking comment traffic. The real unique traffic should be an order of magnitude higher, at least.
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!
I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.
Welcome! I should install Mlem too then.
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.
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+
I am so happy to see so many people were willing to swallow the red pill.
Wow that’s crazy! Curious to see what will happen on the 30th.
Sync will blast an announcement in the reddit version about Sync for Lemmy, so I think that should be among the first wave. Curious to see what happens myself!
5,7 mil daily seems a lot. does it count other instances like kbin etc?
gas gas gas
For apps, Connect and Summit seem to be the best I’ve tried. Summit is closest to the app Slide that I used on the website that shall not be named.
Jerboa crashes on older servers so I haven’t really been able to use it as Lemmy.world is a 17.X server because of the captcha removal “feature”.
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.
SPU… fuckin’ a that’s a good one. I’m trying to help push up the average the best I can.
