I'll make the mandatory "Hi, I came here from Reddit" post that I'm guessing is mandatory on lemmy for threads dunking on the site? Might as well be my first post in the fediverse too to get that out of the way. Wish I had known about lemmy sooner tbh but better late than never.

Also if someone has the spare time for it, I'd love to get pointed towards whatever's commonly used for onboarding here. If there stuff I should be aware of and tools I should look into, what phone apps people use, that sorta stuff. I picked my host because I wanted something european but I'm now kinda eyeing the old layout option that world seems to have since I used to use the old layout on reddit too.

EDIT: Wow, thank you for all the recommendations. Definitely gotta take a look at all the various apps that people are using to find one that works for me!

You came at the right time. When I left during the API nightmare and removal of third party apps, Lemmy was like walking into a desert wasteland and praying it loaded up and you weren’t just standing there in the void.

When it did load, where sand should be in the wasteland, it was beans. Slimy, canned beans as far as the eye could see.

You’ve entered during the golden age if you ask me. I don’t even think about Reddit anymore.

[-] exixx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Hahaha I had forgotten about the beans!

https://join-lemmy.org/ is a fantastic resource for onboarding. They even have a great list of apps with pictures of the interfaces for each: https://join-lemmy.org/apps

I'm a big fan of Sync app. It was formerly a Reddit app. It doesn't get much updates but it's fully functional for my needs.

[-] grissino@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If you are on Android, try Summit or Connect, they are both even better than Sync.

[-] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And better dev support. I don't think the guy that's been running sync has done anything in like a year. Just copy/pasted the UX from reddit sync into lemmy sync.

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Voyager is basically a spiritual successor to Apollo. So if you miss that from the API purge, then give it a try.

[-] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh shit, I was wondering why I thought the app was familiar. Good to know!

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Connect for lemmy is a RIF-esque ui that I enjoy.

[-] Killer_Tree@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Seconded for Connect - I started using it after the API induced exodus and haven't looked back since. I have no idea how it compares to other apps, but I have no complaints!

[-] Crankley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

All the same words but from me

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

What they said

[-] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

For a phone app, I use boost. There are ads, but they are FAR less intrusive than most mainstream apps.

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And you can get rid of them for a reasonabley low one time payment. I can't even remember how much it was, I think in the ballpark of 10 €.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

I think it was less, 5€. One time payment a while ago.

[-] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

WELCOME. It’s so much better here. Can’t help with onboarding but you’ll get used to it. Oh and I’d recommend you use voyager app for browsing if you don’t know already

[-] Calcifer@eviltoast.org 3 points 1 month ago

I came because I discovered boost is now for Lemmy. Only wish Narwhal was still around.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 79 points 1 month ago

Funny to think back in the day WatchPeopleDie, jailbait and fiftyfifty was all the rage. Now Nintento charachters are banned

[-] OceanChild@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Man.. I even remember being on watchpeopledie and that sub scarred me for life, to think we now get banned for upvoting sentences containing Luigi is insane.. Reddit has changed so much, can't even be mad at nazi's cause they're afraid it'll hurt Elon's little feelings..

[-] Whimsical418@lemm.ee 43 points 1 month ago

not happening here though

According to Subreddit Drama:

[-] SkyeStarfall 42 points 1 month ago

We really are at the point where doing what the allies (US) did in WW2 is unacceptable content huh?

Mockery of history

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, the dumbass nazi just called a war veteran a "traitor" for agreeing that Ukrainian's shouldn't be exterminated by Russia. Really tells you what side he's on.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

A war veteran and a literal astronaut. What elon fantasizes about being.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Good point. What a fucking loser.

[-] suite403@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Well, you see, it's bad unless the government tells us it's good.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I saw someone post that! I love those stickers.

[-] El_Scapacabra@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Some people in the comments said that it was a sticker depicting a crosshair over the photo of Elon doing the Nazi salute.

[-] LonstedBrowryBased@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

For real things really changed in the last handful of years

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Where have you been the last decade that you notice this now?
