Here here! For all it’s weaknesses, I’m learning to love Lemmy and it’s strengths.
It’s gonna take a little getting used too, and there are some subs that it’ll take awhile to replace
But I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo stopped working on the 30th so it’s somethin
Me either.
Only way I’ll go back is if they oust Huffman as CEO
I’d love that, but I can’t see myself going back without Apollo or some other third party app that doesn’t suck
I was banned from reddit so to me lemmy is a place I get to have a voice again.
Also it’s really cool to see the precise up and down numbers instead of reddit’s intentionally-obfuscated probabilistically nonoffensive “scores”.

It will probably resemble myspace: https://myspace.com/

Reddit’s actually less of a major player than it feels like when you’re in it.
Look at its place in The Internet Map: http://internet-map.net/#6-146.44287523142916-86.10421783299574
that’s pretty interesting. for all the talk of tumblr being “dead” it’s still bigger than reddit on there. I never left tumblr but I would not have guessed it’s so big.
Just miss Apollo and some of the great communities, all the rest I won’t miss.
use wefwef.app ! just like apollo. i hardly skipped a beat moving over and browsing all
I know, it’s just that Selig was such an amazing dev, and that apollo was just a lot more fleshed out than wefwef currently.
Wefwef is still amazing though, and that it’s this good, so quickly, is mindblowing.
+1 for Memmy and Mlem as well!
I wonder how much effort it would take to make Apollo itself work with lemmy’s apis.
I bet there would be some work to modify things to handle the multi-instance thing, but a ton of that code could be re-used if it’s built correctly.
And although I don’t know it directly, I know indirectly that his code must be well organized, just based on how smooth and functional apollo was.
I miss having a small pixel pall to play with while scrolling
Check out Edgar Allen Typoe over here
Best case scenario is that in the next ten years reddit becomes the equivalent of bing. Still around, but who really gives a shit
You’re telling me my work computer will have reddit pre-configured as the default search engine, and I’ll have to manually type in google.com any time I want to search?
Cheers mate
