I’ve barely been back to Reddit recently and with Apollo gone, I’ll only ever duck my head in when I really have to. I find it a lot easier to leave Reddit behind than Facebook. On FB I’m connected to real world relatives and friends who I just would lose contact with otherwise. On Reddit I converse with strangers and that’s easy to replace. Lemmy has already done it. Is there anything unique about the hobby forums on Reddit? No. They can be reassembled or restarted elsewhere. In some ways it’s probably good to dump the old structures and shake things up. Some subs were better managed and some really just coasted on their name.
I totally agree. I'm on Android and never used Apollo, but I'm using the wefwef web app and it's fantastic. People are saying it feels like Apollo!
wefwef is changing my mind about how good webapps can be. The UI is a copy of Apollo but the execution in web tech is absolutely top notch.
Try ~~phanpy.local~~ phanpy.social for Mastodon! It blew my mind on how well designed, fast and efficient it is. It's better than the Mastodon local apps - at least on the basic functions.
Do you mean phanpy.social?
I did! Thank you.
Same, I just miss some of the interest based communities I was in, but they're growing well on Lemmy right now. Optimistic for the future.
For real. Even though my groups on lemmy are smaller, they’re made up of more dedicated people that participate in discussion alot more. So it’s all great for me!
I was an early adopter of Reddit back during the digg days and I had over a decade of post history there and to see that go.... I couldn't care less. It was all ephemeral bullshit.
16 years and almost 300K comment karma here…
Same here. Liking Lemmy like I liked Reddit at the beginning.
The only thing that had me back on Reddit was searching for something on DDG and getting 99% Reddit results. I see why they are un-deleting people's comments and posts when they close their accounts. Hopefully other forums take those spots.
That explains why I kept trying to purge my history and having some posts keep popping back up.
Get yourself banned. I don't think they restore content of banned accounts.
Well said. Couldn't agree more.
