I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it’s “dogshit” and “not going anywhere” get systematically upvoted.

Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like “yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org 🤦‍♂️

It’s frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that “Lemmy is not ready yet” and that there’s “no viable alternative to Reddit”.

This and the overwhelming number of comments being “against the mod protests” just prompts me to question whether there isn’t some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.

    Same with mlem. It’s a little ahead of memmy in development right now.

      Mlem has become really good since they updated the app two days ago.

        They really need to fix some of their accessibility issues. Comment text cannot be resized which makes it impossible for me to use the app. Memmy respects the dynamic text sizing in iOS, so I’m using it for now. It’s not up to feature parity with Mlem but the developer is doing a great job with adding features.

          Memmy also works natively on iPad. Mlem has just a zoomed iPhone version.

            YES. It feels so good on ipad with memmy. I saw someone made a pull request to mlem adding ipad compatibility already though. It seems the mlem team is wanting to wait a bit on it for reasons im unaware of, but hopefully it gets added soon.

        I hope they soon implement that proper dark mode, image zoom and search tool but yes since mlem the only reason i still open Apollo is to laugh seeing reddit burn :3
