Hey all! I nuked my reddit account (different username) a few weeks back and haven’t bothered to create a new one. Have been strapped to the rocket since jan’21, been through the migrations, etc. I have little to no idea what this Lemmy thing is yet but I see some familiar faces here so I look forward to discuss and learn with/from you! I know very little so I hope to contribute with good vibes. (I help god dammit!)
Good vibes are invaluable! Welcome.
Lemmy is a lot like reddit - but open source and has transparent moderation. No ads, either.
So far the android lemmy app I’ve found is massively better than the garbage reddit app.
Hey, very nice! Which one are you using? We’re working on an “Apes guide to Lemmy” and we’ll want to include some app recommendations.
I’m using Connect. It was the highest-rated one, and so far I’m quite happy with it. Very comparable to ‘rif is fun’ before reddit went and fucked everything. Haven’t tried any of the other apps yet though.
Same! Works well so far.
Haven’t tried any mobile apps yet. “Boost” will be available soon. Apparently it was quite popular for reddit before the purge. I had no idea 3rd party reddit apps existed so I’ve endure the absolute shite that is the official reddit app…
Yeah, it feels somewhat familiar. Some things will need some getting used to, though.
Welcome fellow Reddit refugee!
Not sure if my username looks familiar, but I was on Reddit for like 7 years. F Spez
Welcome aboard. Revel in the shitposting from users sick of SS. Hopefully we’ll get some DD/analytics here, but for now I’m just happy to be in the comfort of other so disenchanted with reddit lol
I too am a refugee! I couldn’t stand the censorship. I think it was Gary Gensler being censored that was my final straw… he’s a public official… if he’s saying Book is the way then we should at least be able to talk about that.
Welcome my friend
Welcome to the new jungle 🦧💜
