Interesting, I added body text but I can only see it when I go to comment on the post, then it pops up as if I’m replying to it. Maybe an issue with the memmy app?
Anyway here was the caption: And I got a gram of some acai indica wax to try it with. Been years since I had a dab straw, and that one was silicone.
Apparently (according to google) I can freeze this one for an hour to cool down my hits.
It doesn’t hurt lemmy to have other options for mobile apps. It’s like a phone case. It doesn’t affect how the phone works, you just picked yours because you like it and it’s comfortable to use.
I could use the lemmy mobile site, but memmy has swipe gestures and themes and a much nicer UI, so it makes it much more pleasant to browse lemmy. It feels more intuitive.
On Reddit I generally didn’t read attached articles. I’d developed a pretty good intuition where the article title, website and top comments could tell me all I needed to know (And reading the source normally confirmed this)...
Same, I never felt like participating on reddit because a lot of the content i saw was already past its moment, it seems silly to comment when no one has engaged in hours, let alone a post a week old or something.
This morning, I had free time. As usual, opened my Apollo app, only to be greeted by the loud reminder that I am cut off from the community I have lurked, posted and lurked in almost a decade....
That’s the perfect way to put it, Lemmy feels like the forums back in the earlier days of the internet, before social media took over everything and the internet was a bunch of little small niche communities, but each one was tight knit.

Personally, I’m dedicated to transitioning to Lemmy. I was an Apollo user and it’s disgusting how dirty they did Christian Selig. I will still use reddit for niche subs, cross posting to lemmy to get communities going, and for the odd question that I google now and again. There are still years and years of valuable content on reddit.
But while some people find it exciting to be part of a growing community, helping build something, other people are just here to lurk and consume the content provided. Those people are too impatient to wait for Lemmy to gain more traction, users, and content.
I think a lot of people made accounts or will make them, will check it here and there but ultimately get bored of the lack of content (compared to reddit) or give up when they can’t figure out the federated/decentralized thing.
There are still some things that confuse me, but I’m LOVING lemmy. I love finding more of my subs that have migrated, or creating them and finding new content to add to them.
Reddit used to be a hobby, something fun, rabbit holes to dive into. Then at some point I stopped actively searching for cool niche subs and just kept scrolling the same front page. It had its uses but it was doomscrolling.
With Lemmy I’m like excited to post content again, which I never really did, and I’m finding myself commenting a lot more. I think I’ll end up switching from Reddit permanently.
me too, but i think im honestly done with reddit. i miss a lot of my niche communities but I created lemmy versions of some and I’m cross posting some top posts from reddit just to get things going a bit.
i see a lot of possibilities with lemmy, there are already some great apps being made (my fave rn is memmy, not quite native ios like apollo, but has a really polished look and gestures feel natural it’s easy to get the hang of)
& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?
It’s exciting watching the community grow and learning together how everything works. So far everyone I’ve met has been super supportive, I asked a question about where to find mod tools and someone went and commented on my communities and someone else reported them so I could see firsthand and practice!
Made my day that multiple people took the time.
I think as long as we all keep that attitude of community, and do our best to create content and participate, there’s no reason why lemmy can’t run circles around reddit.
A couple of years ago I discovered my wife of 25 years was having an affair. I kicked her out and told her to go be with him (maybe that's another AITA question). She asked what I would tell the kids, who at the time were 20 and 17 years old. I said I was going to tell them the truth. She pleaded, "please don't tell the kids." I...
20 is definitely old enough to handle that information, and seek out appropriate therapy if needed.
17 is old enough to know but I might encourage some family therapy at least with you, but if she (or he) handled it well, then that’s up to you.
But definitely not the asshole. They’re old enough to understand what cheating is, and the potential ramifications of it, so I’d say if anything it’s a learning experience.
Mods don't have a duty to do shit, Reddit doesn't pay them anything, doesn't even offer premium at a discount or anything.
Maybe if Reddit was more concerned with not creating a toxic hellspace, they wouldn't need to rely on volunteers to keep their billion dollar corporation running smoothly. Everything about this pisses me off so fucking bad.
Where do they get off saying mods have a DUTY to them, when they LITERALLY are volunteers and reddit gives them nothing.
And maybe if Reddit wasn't killing third party mod tools......like the moderation still isn't gonna be the same no matter how many people you appoint bc you killed the tools that made it possible.
idk, i'm having kind of a hard time. i have a lot of niche subs on reddit that don't seem to be on lemmy. i feel like i did when i first started reddit and just saw all the default pics/music/gaming subs

And I got a gram of some acai indica wax to try it with. Been years since I had a dab straw, and that one was silicone....
unpopular opinion: i dont like the reliance on lemmy third party apps
you’re gonna have to hear me out on this one....
A nice thing about Lemmy's lower population than Reddit

Are we gonna make a big difference after this migration?
Does everybody thinks that this migration is gonna change peoples mind about not using Reddit anymore ? Here’s hoping.
Its been one day without Reddit

Sad to see Reddit go
I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit
Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!!!
Looking forward to sharing the joys of Futurama with the lemmy community!
