RIP Apollo. Was truly a ride.

Currently using wefwef and Memmy to browse lemmy via mobile. Wefwef feels closest to Apollo but Memmy has a better interface.

Also subbed to Winston on Reddit, the dev is actively responding to suggestions and aiming to release an app as close as possible like Apollo for browsing reddit. Then of course there’s also Narwhal.

..and with that, I bid you farewell. in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

Thank you for helping me wrap my head around Lemmy! (lemmy.one)
 

For context, I created a post on Lemmy.ml a week ago asking how can I use Lemmy properly.

I just wanted to send out a collective thank you for all the suggestions/comments explaining the difference between Lemmy and Kbin.

ps

  1. I couldn't respond to most of the comments on my post because I got busy playing with my 6 month old. She is currently on a war path to grabbing everything and anything around her and rolling around A LOT!

  2. Speaking of apps, I downloaded memmy and wefwef for iOS + signed up for Artemis beta testing. With a plethora of apps currently under development, I hope I won't take a week's worth of time to respond to comments (if any) on this post!

What is everyone else using here?

Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing? in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Typing this from WefWef. I love it so far.

Probably will test out Artemis and Memmy as well.

How should I be using Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That makes more sense now. I was really lost around all these different servers and Reddit experience had spoilt me because it was so centralized by construct that I came in here expecting the same!

Thanks @DidacticDumbass@lemmy.one

Just as a follow up to your comment - is there a link or something where one can see how many different Lemmy communities exist? I'd be up for casting the net wide like you said and right now I am mostly hanging around lemmy one.

With spez ascending the last few remaining levels of becoming an absolute wanker, it's about time I got more active and I have been wondering how should I be using Lemmy efficiently? Like many I migrated from Reddit and I was primarly using Apollo to browse through my subscribed subreddits.

Over here on Lemmy.one, I have subscribed to communities and I scroll through my feed by sorting "All > Top Day" because sorting "All > Hot" means I end up seeing the same threads.

Then earlier today I discovered https://beehaw.org/communities where I found many communities I would love to subscribe to but then I got confused because I am also subscribed to more or less similar communities on lemmy.one.

I think I am sort of struggling to wrap my head around how lemmy really works and where I should be hanging out. It was easier on reddit in the sense that if I wanted to go LOTRmemes, there was only subreddit but here on Lemmy, there seem to be multiple instances of the same community :D

To top it off, it is proving hard to login to beehaw [probably the server is under stress] with the same details I use to login into Lemmy.one.

Not to forget there's also Kbin which I haven't even begun exploring. Phew.

ps - my apologies if I am sounding slightly incoherent as this is all new to me. If there is anyone out there who has this all figured out, I'd appreciate any help here.

The developer of Sync for Reddit is working on a Lemmy app in c/technology

Will there be a version of the app for iOS?

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? in c/technology
[–] admiral_muffin@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks very much! I will download the beta app and test it out. If I have any suggestions or bugs to report, where should I be sharing them?

It feels like the start of something new, you know? Sort of exciting because coming from Reddit to Lemmy feels like taking a leap of faith as we are looking for this place to replace what we have lost. At the end of the day, communities are what make or break a platform and we have that going.

In terms of the platform itself, I am still trying to figure my way around here but the UI/UX feels easy to interact with. I guess I would love to have a mobile app for iOS down the line to replace my addiction to Apollo!

thanks spez in c/reddit@lemmy.ml

7 year 10 month long on Reddit and only ever used Apollo and previously Alien Blue until Spez decided to kill the joy out of both. Never posted much on reddit either. Happy to be here with everyone and contribute to Lemmy!
