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.
I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.
Absolutely. Currently a lot of places here feel how Reddit used to be when I joined up. I quite like it.
You forgot reposts for karma whoring.
I bet itll get worse with reddit becoming public and trying to juice money from reddit.
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
Your low-effort comment wasn’t even funny.
Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
Found wefwef today and love it.
I was kind of bummed when I realized it wasn’t a native app, but so far it’s been working great regardless.
I’ve added it to my Home Screen and to be honest I can barely tell it’s not a native app. It’s shockingly well put together so far.
the native site added as an app isn’t half bad either, it works in a very similar way but it just has some UI niggles
That’s honestly what I’ve been using the most. I use a chrome app for my admin account and a Firefox app for this one.
Maybe I’m being stupid, but isn’t that what I’m doing when I use the „Add to Home Screen“ function in Safari?
yep! It works well because the website has been designed to that way
Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.
Wefwef is for you
I’d agree. Wefwef is great, although it isn’t as smooth as a native app it seems. But it’s very good regardless. May also be it is a little iffy with iOS 17? Not sure.
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.
But, but Artemis is for Kbin (for now).
Is that available yet?
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!
Do you have a link to the infinity for everything repository? I can’t seem to find it
This what you’re after? https://github.com/everything-gripe/Infinity-for-Everything
Wefwef is absolutely nuts as a PWA, was looking forward to Sync for Lemmy but as a former heavy iOS user this is so cool!
I would love to see them bring Sync and/or Boost to iOS with this, but I doubt it. But Wefwef and Memmy are great
In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.
Hell yeah, it’s the best reddit app hands down.
Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.

Jerboa is crashing for me on start, which isn’t a great sign. I just want Boost already!
Blahaj just updated!
I have the same problem, maybe some instances need to update.
I am on liftoff right now, which does not let me post on lemmy.world but maybe it will after they update.
Jerboa is so incredibly buggy right now though, that it barely worked for me at all. I just switched to Liftoff. It also has its fair share of bugs but at least functions almost reliably.
I am on connect now and the similarities with relay is why
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?
Lif?
FIFE
I need a RiF Lemmy badly.
Connect is quite close https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
He’s doing one for Tildes apparently but I’d love to see one for Lemmy
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.
Are there any kbin apps for Android?
Not yet, but they are on the way.
In the meantime the kbin mobile site works well as a PWA, even better if you install these scripts:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/27201/kbin-enhancement-script-QOL-updates-for-the-kbin-UI
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles/t/105421/Kbin-Usability-Pack-0-2-2-Now-with-settingsEasy to do with Fennec
PWA really works for me.
Artemis in closed beta. Many apps are only developed for lemmy unfortunately
The kbin api isn’t finished. Once it is I bet it will get apps quickly.
No API access yet IIRC, but there is @ArtemisApp being worked on.
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.
There are so many lemmy apps now. You’ve tried wefwef.app?
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.
Liftoff is great so far! Super excited for Sync to convert over to Lemmy
Are there any examples of this happening?
There are; I can think of one specifically. Sync for Reddit is becoming Sync for Lemmy, it’s under development.
Also Boost for Lemmy.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmyThis makes me happy. I really loved Boost and was sad to see it go.
