Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

[-] Pizzarules668@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago

I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment

Tried the "official" app for the first time in years, uninstalled after 10 min... RIP Rif

[-] giantshortfacedbear@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 years ago

I've been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren't for Rif and Sync, I don't think I would have become a Reddit user. I'm desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

Rest in Power RiF. Time to figure out Lemmy

[-] silas@programming.dev 48 points 2 years ago

There’s a ton of awesome apps in development, it’s only gonna get better! Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on:

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 55 points 2 years ago

The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/

[-] PixelatedAvocado@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

Apollo refugee here. Wefwef and Lemmy are very nice :)

Yeah, but I do think a lot of clueless folks won't leave. Honestly, I wonder if reddit is undergoing a massive brain-drain right now. I rather hope so, because it would mean Lemmy is getting some high-grade folks.

This is pretty much why I'm here... It feels like the folks who left are going to be good company.

[-] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mods are leaving first, their tools have been neutered, and they'd rather move to lenmy, kbin or anything else where they don't have to fight the admins. Users will follow

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

[-] spiderman@lemmy.fmhy.ml 23 points 2 years ago

everything will be replaced eventually in time but whether lemmy will replace reddit (in this case) is the question.

It’s been a very chill and peaceful switch, once I get used to the change I plan on helping any way I can to help the community grow. We can rebuild together 🖖

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 26 points 2 years ago

I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I'm not involved, but I appreciate it

[-] beaumains@programming.dev 22 points 2 years ago

I'm not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

Never.

Ever.

I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.

It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.

I am floored.

Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone

Just an FYI - some apps are still working as of this moment... But yeah, most of us know it's only a matter of time.

Honestly, the content seems higher quality here. Perhaps the cesspools of Reddit were hard to spot for those of us who lurked there for over a decade.

Quality over quantity. Cheers to a new horizon, everyone.

I didn’t know who Huffman, spez or the fact there was a bid to IPO until Apollo’s announcement of closure occurred. Why? Because I didn’t subscribe the Reddit’s main subreddits, I was very niche.

Once I learned about all that, I vowed if they didn’t reverse their standing and treatment of Christian, I was leaving.

Once the last week of June came and Spez triple-downed on his terrible business decision, I began using tools to destroy all of my content including topics I made that were all ranking #1 in Google, that causes plenty of PMs years after creation.

I’ve since deleted all but one account that I’ll probably hold onto just in case they decide to block my access to information I need.

I’ve deleted Apollo, Reddit’s official app and logged out on all browsers across all platforms I use. I’m done and liking WefWef as a replacement.

Fyi the real member count is almost 20k; the sidebar only shows how many are subscribed to it from your instance.

It shows 360 from vlemmy.net for example.

Left reddit and won't look back. I like it here more already. Great community. Everyone here just wants it to work so bad and is being very patient through growing pains. Love you guys and fuck reddit!

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Y'all are missing the real tragedy of this situation. This api fiasco means the end of RTV, reddit terminal viewer, the world's finest TTY compatible reddit client. The days of reading reddit on an electronic typewriter are over.

I was on Reddit for 13 years. I've been using sync for as long as I knew there was a mobile app. Lemmy seems really relaxed and I'm looking forward to it!

got my data takeout request from reddit just in time

ran powerdelete suite to delete everything

it took almost 3 weeks to process the data takeout request, that means it is computationally expensive, everyone should ask for it to send a signal

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD

[-] Digitoll@lemmy.fmhy.ml 27 points 2 years ago

I highly recommend https://wefwef.app/ You don't even have to download it, it looks almost exactly like Apollo. But there's a bunch of other apps that look like RIF, Sync, etc. to make the browsing more pleasant and usable/familiar.

A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post

  • some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
  • Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
  • the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)
