• I’m the same. I signed up to Mastodon and really liked the concept but I was never a huge fan of the Twitter format and never actually used Twitter. I wanted a Reddit equivalent and ended up here.

    Some parts, especially the apps, need a bit more polishing and I’m only saying that because I’m coming from using Infinity for Reddit. If I came from the official Reddit app the new lack of ads alone would help me ignore those quirks.

    • In my experience, I have never needed an app on Lemmy or Mastodon the way I have for Reddit or Twitter. It turns out you can actually make a web interface that is lightweight and responsive when it isn’t bogged down by a long list of arbitrary conflicting demands for data collection, advertising, and inflating corporate KPIs.

      It’s still nice to have some good apps, but it is not essential and website-ending the way it is with Reddit.
