MODERATORS
I moved to Lemmy because of the 3PA shutdown but very early the native apps and mobile web experience kinda sucked honestly. But I’m really surprised how much the apps have progressed for Lemmy in a very very short time. The experience is getting very close to Apollo and the communities are growing rapidly. This is also very anecdotal but it does seem there was a bit of a brain drain from Reddit given the quality of comments here and the apparent lack of quality posts and comments there since.
I guess Reddit ~~has~~ had a special user base with many talented people capable of programming. After they were pissed off, they did what programmers usually do when dissatisfied with a piece of software: They made their own thing (In this case: Lemmy Clients).
