    Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

    EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

      It’s just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.

        I ultimately still need to use reddit for a few things, mainly a modding group from Skyrim I’m a part of and we use reddit as a sort of hub for our work, so I’m kind of stuck there until the heat death of either reddit or the project.

        I do have hope for Lemmy though, but as of July 1st, reddit will lose me as part of their mobile ecosystem because I refuse to utilize that shit app of theirs.

        Life is change. It’s always good to be reminded of that by the relatively non-important things.

        No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn’t really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking “This aint worth it anymore” so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.

        I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

    It’s really nice to see genuinely thoughtful comments on lemmy. It’s definitely a refreshing change from the endless streams of tired, overused jokes that dominate that other site.

    We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people

    There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.

    I’m done with Reddit. I can’t support their behaviour so I’m moving on. I’m currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I’m interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.

    Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.

      Sync Dev was giving me limit errors today. I reinstalled it and it was working again but I know it’s only a matter of time until the end. I won’t use the official reddit app or website obviously, so I signed up for lemmy today!

    Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.

    I was just using Sync for Reddit when I noticed I can no longer load comments and then a pop up came up that said I was being rate limited by reddit. F this, I’ll no longer visit that site even.

    I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!

    Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!

    I still can’t figure out how to subscribe to a community using the Lemmy mobile website. There doesn’t seem to be any button or option for it. I can do it on wedwef.app, and on some actual apps, but not on the website itself.

      If you press the button to expand the sidebar, there should be a button to subscribe to the community. Alternatively, you can go to the communities page, search for what you want to subscribe to, and subscribe from there

    I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.

      Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.

        I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.

        I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.

        Where did you go when the protests started? I remember this place was barren a couple weeks ago.

          Not commenter, but I’m going to barge in - I literally went and touched grass. A week away from social media and reduced computer time. By the time I returned, the Lemmyverse was popping off.

        Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.

        You know, if we had mass tagging built in to the platform, it would solve a lot of bot problems. Probably create whole new ones, too.
