Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren’t just low effort jokes.
I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting
Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.
Same here, I like the Fediverse, so I try to contribute to it. With reddit it was more of a convenience and mindless thing
Me too. And in nuking ten years of reddit history I realised I had stopped posting over the years as it got so big it just wasn’t needed
I’m with you there, it’s certainly worth it to try and post and comment more and ther is a much more relaxed positive vibe here.
Absolutely. Currently a lot of places here feel how Reddit used to be when I joined up. I quite like it.
Your low-effort comment wasn’t even funny.
You forgot reposts for karma whoring.
Coming to a comment thread to reply “this” feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.
this.
Cheugy
Ok zoomer. It’s just a phase.
A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn’t like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was “too long.” It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?
The fuck does cheugy mean?
It means something that used to be in style but now is considered corny or lame.
Cheugy – A pejorative description of lifestyle trends associated with the early 2010s
How the fuck do you say it? Choo-gie?
I think that’s right.
I think we just witnessed the birth of its use! It vibes like something that’s chuggy but has a kind of abstract phlegmy quality to it.
Who knows - I should be sleeping!
it is not a brand new term
the fuck is phlegmy?
It’s that kind of mucus you cough up, normally if you’re a bit sick. Not quite snot, not quite spit. Somewhere between.
the fuck is phlegmy?
Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma whoring, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse
Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.
hell yeah. I want KIF or LIF
FIF – Fediverse Is Fun :D
That would he so nice. RiF is delightful. I love it’s not about bells and whistles, it was simple looking and the layout was clean and consistent. RIP RiF.
it was so snappy and unbloated. look at the official reddit app or the mobile site. what a pile of garbage
But, but Artemis is for Kbin (for now).
+1 to native app, it’s part of what made Apollo great
What do you mean by “join the Wefef developers to make a native app”
Are you saying you wish they would join forces and start or is Wefwef already on it?
I like the look of wefwef a lot, coming from Apollo but I just don’t love web apps for things like this - so a native app from them would be awesome!
With iOS 17, web apps will get more features to make them feel more native. It might be so close that it will be hard to tell the difference between a web-developed native app and a PWA. Wefwef is already really nice and it’s mere days old. I can’t wait to see where they take it.
One more thing to be excited about for 17!!
Which apps are doing this by the way?
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might’ve actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn’t originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Super excited for Boost!
I’m using wefwef right now I’m honestly Impressed!
I would love to see them bring Sync and/or Boost to iOS with this, but I doubt it. But Wefwef and Memmy are great
The developer of Sync is working on an app right now
For iOS as well?
Do you have a link to the infinity for everything repository? I can’t seem to find it
This what you’re after? https://github.com/everything-gripe/Infinity-for-Everything
Sync feels like home, super excited to be getting it back.
Really excited about Infinity for Everything! I used Infinity for Reddit and it was hands-down my favorite app. Looks like the Everything version is still pretty early. Will be watching it closely.
In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.
Hell yeah, it’s the best reddit app hands down.
I can never click these links, I got a 404 community not found error.
There’s a possibility it’s your instance. I saw something earlier about instances blocking traffic from other instances.
Developer of RedReader also said they want to eventually support Lemmy and perhaps tildes and hacker news, even though RedReader got an exemption from the api fees for now. But as a “long-term vision”, so probably not immediately.
Sync, Boost are some of the apps I know
this… this… brings me memories… oh the reddit memories
all of the deleted’s
Please RIF, become a fediverse app!
Relay remains there, too bad
Sync has announced that they are developing for Lemmy and I am so down for it.
Same. I can’t wait.
Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might’ve actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn’t originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Jerboa is crashing for me on start, which isn’t a great sign. I just want Boost already!
Blahaj just updated!
I was really liking Jerboa before they broke support for 0.17.4, it was giving me BaconReader vibes.
Now I’m just on here via Firefox on my phone while I keep looking for an app I like.
I didn’t like wefwef, idk it just didn’t feel right.
I’m not a fan of Connect, it seems to default to All no matter what I do.
I’ll keep trying though, but Lemmy works great in Firefox on my phone.
I have the same problem, maybe some instances need to update.
I am on liftoff right now, which does not let me post on lemmy.world but maybe it will after they update.
Jerboa is so incredibly buggy right now though, that it barely worked for me at all. I just switched to Liftoff. It also has its fair share of bugs but at least functions almost reliably.
I am on connect now and the similarities with relay is why
Sync is, and I’d be surprised if we don’t get a fedi fork of Infinity and the other open-source reddit apps at some point!
Infinity was Reddit for me. A great app, although I didn’t try the others. I hope someone will make a fork.
I know Boost is going to become a Lemmy app. You can even “preorder” it on the playstore and itll download on your device as soon as its released.
Wait Boost is becoming a Lemmy app? You got any more info?
Yes, here’s a link for you: https://lemmy.world/post/872278. /c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world is the new community for it.
I’ve been test driving android apps for lemmy for hours now and it’s been fun but I’d love to see one with a RIF UX. Any chance we can convince Andy to develop RIF for lemmy?
I need a RiF Lemmy badly.
Connect is quite close https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
He’s doing one for Tildes apparently but I’d love to see one for Lemmy
Baconreader, please become a fediverse app!
Dude I discovered reddit because bacon reader. Hell I didn’t even knew there was an official app. I NEED the tile scrolling,it’s such a pain to have to go back and scroll to the next post instead of just slide from one to another. Maybe we can send him an email? I know he has like a weather app or something?
That would be amazing
I begged the boost dev to make a Lemmy app, I sent him several DMs and made a post about it
I like to think I contributed to his decision
BOOST IS MAKING A FEDI APP? HELL YEAH
Are there any kbin apps for Android?
Not yet, but they are on the way.
In the meantime the kbin mobile site works well as a PWA, even better if you install these scripts:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/27201/kbin-enhancement-script-QOL-updates-for-the-kbin-UI
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/105421/Kbin-Usability-Pack-0-2-2-Now-with-settingsEasy to do with Fennec
PWA really works for me.
No API access yet IIRC, but there is @ArtemisApp being worked on.
Artemis in closed beta. Many apps are only developed for lemmy unfortunately
I’ve used Stealth client andits’s still working on reddit, crossing my fingers
I would love a stealth lemmy client
I guess it is stealthy…
An app is making the difference for me between Lemmy & Squabbles. Squabbles via an app is looking very much like Reddit, but Lemmy has the numbers, I believe.
Also, and this is a little vain/stupid I guess, but I hate the name and icon of Squabbles. Makes it seems like it’s a platform to argue, not be a community.
discord has left the chat
I agree. I haven’t seen the icon, but why would I go to a place that’s named after petty conflict? It seems like that would attract the wrong crowd and would set a bad mood even with a good crowd.
Liftoff is great so far! Super excited for Sync to convert over to Lemmy
Yeah some of the app devs are going to implement support for lemmy while also continuing to support reddit.
Looking at this from a business perspective, I think that would be the smartest move. When a business partner unilaterally jacks up the price, while it might feel satisfying to tell them to go fuck themselves, it’s probably not the smartest move. The smart move is to continue doing business while making partnerships with others just in case the asshole partner jacks up the price again.
I think it might be a thing where these apps will use lemmy for the free version while offering reddit for a subscription. If this is the case, we’ll see a gradual increase of users on lemmy with a gradual decline of users on reddit. Older people who stubbornly stick to reddit will pay the subscription, while younger people that can’t afford a subscription to reddit (and have no attachment to it anyway) will use the free versions and use lemmy.
Are there any examples of this happening?
There are; I can think of one specifically. Sync for Reddit is becoming Sync for Lemmy, it’s under development.
Also Boost for Lemmy.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmyThis makes me happy. I really loved Boost and was sad to see it go.
Live to see it. :)
I wonder how many of them are actually going to become kbin/lemmy apps and which ones will end up biting the dust. Hopefully they all manage to switch, but i think its too soon to say that.
