Boost app for Android helped by keeping a familiar interface and functionality. Use Alexandrite frontend on PC.

Other than that,you've got to accept that Lemmy is not a direct replacement for Reddit. The population here is way way smaller. Niche interests are non-existant. Subscribing is even pointless to an extent, as there really isn't all that much content posted in total. You're best browsing "all". For content, you get what you get, rather than being able to pick from a wide variety.

It has pros and cons for what it is. But Lemmy certainly isn't a direct replacement for Reddit.
