Refugee Redditors as they make the move.
(lemmy.world)
The memes are already better than reddit’s daily meme reposts
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”
The wretched refuse of Reddit's scheming shore
I am refugee no idea what’s going on yet but it feels right.
Hopefully, the momentum of people transferring to lemmy stays. I've had conversations with other Redditors who recognized the importance of third party apps but went ahead and downloaded the official app anyway.
I tried the official app soon after it's initial release and didn't like it. Tried again the other day and it was even worse than I remember. It was ugly and slow scrolling on my phone. I deleted it right away. I don't mind using the reddit desktop site, if I go back for my niche communities until they make it to the Fediverse, but I'm no longer using reddit on mobile if I can't use my favorite 3rd-party app. Reddit even made it's mobile website annoying to use, trying push people to its app. I absolutely hate when sites do that. I'm so happy I have Lemmy to use on mobile whether its in an app or the mobile website.
That's insane. I downloaded boost because I hated the official app. Since I heard the news about the API I never even once considered downloading the official app again. After all, you're exactly doing what sp*z wants you to do.
Tell me about it. Just goes to show that certain people aren't willing to compromise on what they perceive as their home.
Lemmy also has a really great app environment. Boost for Lemmy is apparently already on the way, as well as both Sync, Slide, and a bunch of new apps too!

So a few months in I can see now lemmy is a great alternative to reddit, but most people are still on reddit and u/spez was right. The uproar is gone by and everybody just lives with a shitty reddit app now and api is now paid.
The narwhal has been baconed, I'm ready for the reddit switcheroo to lemmy
theres hope
