I’ll make the mandatory “Hi, I came here from Reddit” post that I’m guessing is mandatory on lemmy for threads dunking on the site? Might as well be my first post in the fediverse too to get that out of the way. Wish I had known about lemmy sooner tbh but better late than never.
Also if someone has the spare time for it, I’d love to get pointed towards whatever’s commonly used for onboarding here. If there stuff I should be aware of and tools I should look into, what phone apps people use, that sorta stuff. I picked my host because I wanted something european but I’m now kinda eyeing the old layout option that world seems to have since I used to use the old layout on reddit too.
You came at the right time. When I left during the API nightmare and removal of third party apps, Lemmy was like walking into a desert wasteland and praying it loaded up and you weren’t just standing there in the void.
When it did load, where sand should be in the wasteland, it was beans. Slimy, canned beans as far as the eye could see.
You’ve entered during the golden age if you ask me. I don’t even think about Reddit anymore.
I use Voyager for Lemmy on Android (it looks like Reddit-is-Fun), but unlike Reddit, Lemmy has no API restrictions, so you can use whatever you want, to get the design/layout that works for you best.
Seconded for Connect - I started using it after the API induced exodus and haven’t looked back since. I have no idea how it compares to other apps, but I have no complaints!
WELCOME. It’s so much better here. Can’t help with onboarding but you’ll get used to it. Oh and I’d recommend you use voyager app for browsing if you don’t know already

Voyager is basically a spiritual successor to Apollo. So if you miss that from the API purge, then give it a try.

I’m a big fan of Sync app. It was formerly a Reddit app. It doesn’t get much updates but it’s fully functional for my needs.
For a phone app, I use boost. There are ads, but they are FAR less intrusive than most mainstream apps.

Enjoy your time here and take it easy!
Connect for lemmy is a RIF-esque ui that I enjoy.

All the same words but from me
