Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren't just low effort jokes.

I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting
Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.

Absolutely. Currently a lot of places here feel how Reddit used to be when I joined up. I quite like it.
Your low-effort comment wasn't even funny.
You forgot reposts for karma whoring.
Coming to a comment thread to reply "this" feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.
this.
Cheugy
Ok zoomer. It's just a phase.
A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn't like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was "too long." It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?
Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma whoring, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse
Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.
hell yeah. I want KIF or LIF
FIF -- Fediverse Is Fun :D
That would he so nice. RiF is delightful. I love it's not about bells and whistles, it was simple looking and the layout was clean and consistent. RIP RiF.

Which apps are doing this by the way?
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might've actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn't originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Super excited for Boost!
I'm using wefwef right now I'm honestly Impressed!

In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.
Hell yeah, it's the best reddit app hands down.
Developer of RedReader also said they want to eventually support Lemmy and perhaps tildes and hacker news, even though RedReader got an exemption from the api fees for now. But as a "long-term vision", so probably not immediately.
this... this.. brings me memories... oh the reddit memories
all of the deleted's
Sync, Boost are some of the apps I know
Sync has announced that they are developing for Lemmy and I am so down for it.

Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.

Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.

Jerboa is crashing for me on start, which isn't a great sign. I just want Boost already!

Sync is, and I'd be surprised if we don't get a fedi fork of Infinity and the other open-source reddit apps at some point!

I know Boost is going to become a Lemmy app. You can even "preorder" it on the playstore and itll download on your device as soon as its released.
Wait Boost is becoming a Lemmy app? You got any more info?
Yes, here's a link for you: https://lemmy.world/post/872278. /c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world is the new community for it.
I've been test driving android apps for lemmy for hours now and it's been fun but I'd love to see one with a RIF UX. Any chance we can convince Andy to develop RIF for lemmy?

I begged the boost dev to make a Lemmy app, I sent him several DMs and made a post about it
I like to think I contributed to his decision

An app is making the difference for me between Lemmy & Squabbles. Squabbles via an app is looking very much like Reddit, but Lemmy has the numbers, I believe.
Also, and this is a little vain/stupid I guess, but I hate the name and icon of Squabbles. Makes it seems like it’s a platform to argue, not be a community.
