I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation.

/sEdit: Wow this blew up!

Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can't believe this made /r/all!

Edit 4: We did it ~~Reddit!~~ Lemmy!

Not going back unless Iโ€™m looking for some obscure piece of knowledge. This fulfills my needs for news and conversations about niche topics. Hoping this keeps growing and new mobile apps come out to support it

I've been using Jerboa on Android, it works quite well! I especially appreciate the "all" feed where you can see posts from all instances.

A bit difficult to know if the app or the instance is bugging out when something goes wrong, but I've realized it's mostly the instance (lemmy.ml). I assume it's because all of us Reddit users have come over!

Been using Jerboa for a week and so far so good. So I'm staying here for the long run.

I prefer the mobile website over that app. It works, yes, but I really don't like the UI and UX. I hope we start getting more alternatives and Jebroa also keeps improving!

Yeah, I hope enough people stay to make it somewhat active.
