Context: Reddit made a few controversial annoucements, feel free to have a look at [email protected]
For people wanting to discuss why some people focus on Lemmy's growth, here is a recent thread from [email protected] :
Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch
I got banned from reddit for criticizing the mods of a popular subreddit. Perm-ban on a white vest account for saying the mods are crybabies as they once again complained about having to mod the sub.
Fuck reddit. Fuck spez.
I agree. I came here for two reasons:
Though I still do crave the niche communities from Reddit and I might occassionally visit Reddit once in a while on my browser for them, otherwise the ads are pretty unbearable for me. The UI is also so fucking bloated. Fuck spez
Reddit mods seem to be something else lately
As a new user it's nice seeing so many new users in this thread.
I'm new here coming from Reddit.
Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.
I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.
It's the filter 😁, glad you made it, welcome!
Welcome!
I usually link to
As the other comment said, linking to a specific app isn't that easy, choosing between former Reddit clients like Sync and Boost for instance is already tough, and then you include Lemmy exclusive apps like Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder, etc.
Feel free if you have any question
The benefit is also it's curse. It's all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.
But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.
Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬
I have two apps, Voyager and Connect, one for me on my instance, one on lemmy.world. They show wildly different things 😊
I loved connect, but the constant restarting and losing your spot drove me to Boost. Its basically exactly the same (minus a 2$ no ad fee) an it never loses my spot! Connect handled markdown considerably better though. Has the app crashing issue been fixed?
I'm doing my part.
