No Stupid Questions

Hey! I noticed your title doesn’t match the question in your body text. Could you maybe change that?

Lemmy has completely solved my need for news content when bored. I no longer use Reddit.

The answer is Voyager.

Tip: try sorting by hot instead of active. Gets better results imho. Also Top 6 hours.

I trialled 5 different lemmy apps for Android and IMO Liftoff was the standout best. Looks good, runs smooth and the dev is quick to fix bugs and issue updates.

Voyager, formally Wefwef, is fantastic. It's like if Apollo and RiF had a baby that's slowly growing into a fully functional contributing member of society with a mortgage a 2.5 kids.

Voyager if you’re familiar with Apollo.

It’s so similar to Apollo it makes me happy.

I’ve tried a few iOS apps but keep coming back to Memmy

I'd recommend voyager first it's what I've been mostly using and since I started there's been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It's been pretty incredible to see! There's also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I've been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

I switched from Jerboa to Connect, Connect has been doing well for me so far, I like it.

I'm using Lemmy on Connect, I really like it.

Just look at the meme stream in All. How does it look like it's going? There's no stopping this train till lemmy.world runs out of disk space. 🤘

I like Connect best, followed closely by Voyager.

Voyager is what I use, a web app. You can use it as https://m.lemmy.world and is a very easy URL to remember. Moreover, at work the proxies filters do not block it!

Jerboa and Liftoff.

I'm using Jerboa.

Currently using Liftoff.

You can check this compilation of Lemmy apps.

I personally prefer Jerboa and Thunder. I think I like Jerboa more currently. Neither are perfect. Missing some features, missing more customization, and has bugs here and there. They are getting better and better though!

I am waiting to see if the Slide fork really happens as I used to love that for Reddit before it got abandoned.

Great actually. I think a large portion of Reddit was just bots and shills. I haven’t felt a need to return tbh

Little rough around the edges, but preparing for smooth sailing

I prefer Kbin but I'll be switching to Boost for Lemmy when it's available since I used Boost for Reddit before it stopped working.

It's going fine. There's enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.

How to help fuck up Reddit's IPO:

• Using Lemmy itself is already a way to do so. Post, comment, vote, mod, this kind of stuff. In special, create and/or nurture communities about things that you care about, sometimes a post goes a long way.
• If you got the money, time, and technical expertise to do so, consider building your own instance. Specially if you want to focus on a niche subject.
• If you still have your Reddit account, and if Power Delete Suite still works, consider replacing your content there with literal gibberish ("4593fnjkfgehjkre" style). Reddit is trying to profit from corps training bots, and gibberish makes it less valuable.
• If some content creator mentions resources in Reddit, make sure to mention available sources for the same resources elsewhere, or ask for them.
• Teach people how to google stuff. Seriously. ~50% of the Reddit traffic is due to people using "site:reddit.com" in Google to make the results less crappy, but you can get similar results with negative query searches, exact terms, and stuff like this.

Connect is the best app rn. Followed closely by liftoff.

Ribbit

Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.

Along with that, Voyager has been an amazing app and the rate at which they are improving it has been unbelievable. I feel like I see a substantial update every day or two.

I’ve been off Reddit since the protest and am pretty much at the point that I don’t miss anything about it. There’s a handful of Apollo features I still miss, but at this rate, Voyager will fill in those gaps in no time.

Kbin is so goddamn good it's scary. Reads and posts to both Lemmy and Mastodon, can subscribe by user, community (magazine), or domain. It's new and still under development, so expect bumps, but it absolutely crushes Reddit once you get your subscriptions set.

Kbin is already 🔥🔥, and with the Artemis app being developed by @hariette, it's even better!
Once it launches it's gonna be a blast.
