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 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Smallletter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time

The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

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.

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

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 3 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.

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

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Much like Google's motto used to read; don't be evil.

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.

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

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.

[–] Kosmos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sync refugee here, RIP Sync. I can't wait for Sync for Lemmy.

[–] Swisside@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago

Let's go.

Reddit is dead to me anyways.

[–] n00dl3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Bababasti@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t think Lemmy will replace Reddit, just like Mastodon didn’t replace Twitter. But I think we can build them into great alternatives for people who want to avoid using the big corporate originals (like me).

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I personally don't want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I'm scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.

Fuck Reddit and the bootlickers all over the site now. Enjoy brown nosing spez as you scroll through ads on the shitty official app

[–] ko4la@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

wild how they complain about the complainers, without realizing that the complainers are the ones who make the site good. Without them it's going to be shitty. Reddit will be alive, but less great.

[–] chowder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Godspeed all my fellow Apollo Astronauts searching for a new home. May you all find safe ground here

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)
[–] EpicMuellsTime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Boost refugee reporting in! Can't wait for the boost app for lemmy!

[–] fordlincolnhg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] NakedZombieWolfy@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Think you may have gotten lost in a time warp for a bit there.

Can't wait for more Reddit refugees

[–] halon5@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BowtiesAreCool@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Upvoted via wefwef (or Apollo II as I named it)

[–] eric@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

RedditSync checking in. Looking forward to the LemmySync app in development.

[–] mokoshark69@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Infinity for reddit user here, as much as I love the app, and the work the developer has done on it, and even though the app will continue on a subscription based model, I have had it with reddit, full fediverse citizen from now on

[–] OptimisticPrime@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I still have it working with the workaround of compiling it with my own API key, but decided not to update this any more. When it stops working like that I am out, not that I actually use it that much anymore.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

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 🖖

[–] Chipthemonk@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Same. I’m posting more because these are real communities on a platform that isn’t run by a bunch of corporate pricks. It’s real community. Not a business.
