& 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?

Hello fell Reddit Refugees! Yeah I've been a near daily reddit user on Sync for Reddit (Sync Pro) since 2014 or so. Now leading up to the API shutdown I was using reddit about once a week and you already know I had to use Sync one last time on the final day, but

I've mostly been using Lemmy for about two weeks now. I've tried a lot of apps (Jeroba, Thunder, Liftoff), but ultimately I also ended up on wefwef. It's seems to be the one of snappier ones so far. It's super strange because since it is themed after Apollo, it looks like I have an iPhone app on my Android! I know that when Sync for Lemmy comes out (about six weeks I think) I'll jump ship immediately, but for now I'm really liking wefwef.

I've made it my mission to lurk less on Lemmy then I did on Reddit so I can try and help the platform succeed with some small amounts of content that I can contribute. Recently I've been very interested in AI image generation, so I made a community centered around that. I also made a community centered around video game giveaways to hopefully share more wholesome content on the platform. Overall, I'm hoping that since Lemmy is so new that all of us can take some control in steering it in an overall better direction than Reddit. I'm personally on team No Karma, since I think it makes Lemmy a lot less toxic and a lot less about having something to brag about and more about being something to be proud of.

Good luck to everyone who's a recovering Reddit addict with their quests to become Fediverse addicts!

Edit: Wefwef accidentally posted my comment 3 times saying it failed to post. So I guess there's still some kinks to work out!

I hadn’t thought of that! It would be nice to just abolish karma altogether. Like keep scores in comments, but not on accounts.

I think AI image generation is cool too, I’ll check your community out!
