Hi new person from reddit here! Can’t wait for this place to grow
Migrated here from RIF (RIP), lemmy.world being suggested on top of the how to join guide definitely played a part in choosing this instance along with all the recommendations from other users.
Definitely feel much more inclined to comment here than on Reddit as of late, all the regurgitated meme shitposts and karma farming bot comments were getting really old. If it takes donating / paying a sub to keep Lemmy human discussion focused, that’s what I will do.
We all be going to Reddit and letting people know about the migration to Lemmy… And make sure to promote one of the 3rd party apps to the redditors. The best one I’ve tried so far is Connect for Lemmy on the Google play store.
I’m using Connect right now and I’m quite happy with it. Though when Sync launches I’ll be switching to that. I used Sync pro for reddit for years and would be happy to pay for that again.
It is available. It’s a trick because it’s not in the app store. Go to https://wefwef.app and follow the instructions
It’s a web app so you can just use Safari and add it to home screen. It’ll be more or less like using an app but through your web browser.
Try out Liftoff. I like it quite a bit. Jerboa kept crashing on me, and Liftoff had a certain feature that Connect doesn’t have (yet?)
I’ll keep bouncing around and checking them all out over the next few months
Have tried most and Liftoff is easily the best I’ve found so far. Former Sync Pro user.
I’m sure you’re aware that LJDawson, the sync dev is porting sync over for lemmy too
Honestly, I also try to be more active as a user in Lemmy, and it feels way more rewarding because it feels like a more tight-knitly community here. Like it a lot!
It checks all the boxes for me. No bots, no spam, mostly coherent adults, feels just like using reddit.
I hate to sound all hipster, but a super big community does typically end up ruining themselves. It’s nothing against the fandom itself or even the majority of people in it, it’s just that eventually more toxic people will be included as popularity increases.
That was my biggest gripe nearing the end of reddit and how all subs past 250k subs felt like they either became /r/pics, /r/videos, or /r/funny
i really like it without the bots. what worries me is that with influx of users eventually bots will arrive. but hopefully without karma system atleast karmafarming bots won’t materialise
The breadth and depth of comments is what I’ve missed most from the past. Really happy to see these posts in the 1000s of upvotes with 100s of comments. I’ll try to do my part.
