& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Still trying to find my footings. The thing I miss most is active engagement. The comment sections sometimes feel so empty. But I will give it time. All in all, I find the experience better than I anticipated. Using wefwef on my phone and the instance-site on my desktop and laptop. I am sure a decent app will be developed in time.

I felt that at first but I've found the engagement to be more meaningful here when it does happen, even though it's sometimes sparse or not at all. I came in the previous influx after spez started forcing subs open. I don't really miss it that much now.

I was pretty much a strict lurker on Reddit, so the smaller community here is certainly a bit of a change for me. Only thing for me to do is to change my habits with it, and start actually joining in and adding to the conversations.

You have summed up my feelings exactly.

Greetings, fellow lurker! The torch has been passed. It is our turns to carry it until the communities grow larger and we can recede back to the shadows

I honestly feel like there is more engagement here. Most Reddit threads were like telling into the wind. By the time you got there it was almost always too late to contribute

I've found myself actually reading articles since I can't go in and just read someone else's synopsis of the content, which frankly is a good thing. I can get my own information and form my own opinions, Reddit just let me be lazy but it's a nice change.

As for engagement, just be the change your wish to see, and engagement will follow. I think there is still some fine tuning to be done in terms of the sorting algorithms as well, which would ideally get day old content out and active but fresh content in. A lot of dust left to settle with the great migration underway.
