Went straight from Apollo to wefwef. Smooth transition.

Agree. The more I play around and get comfortable with Lemmy the more I realize I don’t need to “grieve” the loss of Reddit

[-] docmox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. So far so good.

Not as much activity as Reddit obviously, but I’m embracing it by seeking out the more active communities. I definitely fell into a rut on Reddit by only sticking to a handful of subs. This transition is forcing me to develop new interests, it’s great!

It's surprisingly good, for a project that started just 20 days ago. And I don't want to jinx it but the pace of development is quite good as well, they keep releasing updates every few hours or so.

Hardest part was remembering what subjects I was subscribed to and finding analogues here

[-] eggs@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Have you tried the “Migrate Apollo Export” option in the settings? Not perfect since of course lots of things don’t have one to one analogues, but it’s handy for going through your subs.

I uninstalled when it stopped working yesterday, and can’t log back in when reinstalling now since the API is dead. I can reference my subs on desktop if needed but it’s not bad to have a fresh start
