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.
I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment
I’m the same way!
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.
It’s time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
Take it as a reminder that we should always be faithful and coherent to our ideals!
Much like Google’s motto used to read; don’t be evil.
Let’s go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
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.
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/
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.
I’m using wefwef too, but it doesn’t keep me logged in for some reason.
Since it’s browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?
Rip sync
Using the wefwef app is just like using Apollo, good clone
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
The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.
I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I’m not involved, but I appreciate it
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.
Never really posted on reddit, but enjoyed scrolling on Apollo to while away the time. Sad to see it go, but excited to see what Lemmy has in store.
Quick heads up: if you loved Apollo (I can relate…) check out wefwef.app - it’s a pretty good clone for Lemmy!
Already got it, it definitely eases the transition from reddit.
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
Same experience here. They needed 2 and a half week!
Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here
Beehaw has been riddled with crashes. Its a growing pain, but kind of a good thing
i prefer reddit UI, but, there is no way im going back to reddit
Hi there - someone just mentioned a PWA (not even a full app, just a installable web page) called wefwef - look it up. It’s pretty usable beyond some of the other android apps out there already. Again, I emphasize and agree with you that the Reddit app ecosystem’s UI is still better at this point.
Infinity still working right?
