Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝
Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.
Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.
No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.
I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment
I’m the same way!
It’s time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
Take it as a reminder that we should always be faithful and coherent to our ideals!
Much like Google’s motto used to read; don’t be evil.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it’s basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I’m using wefwef too, but it doesn’t keep me logged in for some reason.
Since it’s browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?
I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.
Let’s go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.
This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.
i prefer reddit UI, but, there is no way im going back to reddit
Hi there - someone just mentioned a PWA (not even a full app, just a installable web page) called wefwef - look it up. It’s pretty usable beyond some of the other android apps out there already. Again, I emphasize and agree with you that the Reddit app ecosystem’s UI is still better at this point.
