Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

      Not OP but for me Memmy for Lemmy does a good job replacing the Reddit experience I had in the past.

        I’ve been using Memmy for a while and am thinking of switching to something else. It’s still a bit unpolished and buggy. It’s solid as a lemmy app but I suspect there are better things out there like sync.

          Voyager’s new app is great and extremely solid. Avelon and Bean are great, but they might be iOS only - not sure.

          Bean requires a subscription or a pricey lifetime purchase for full features, like Sync for Android, but it’s very smooth and polished and it has community grouping.

          Avelon’s community browser is 🤌.

          Lots of great devs still coming through with new apps for Lemmy.

            I experimented with a bunch of Lemmy clients and came to the conclusion that Bean is the best app for me. Thunder comes second, Voyager second, Lifoff third and so on.

            Memmy, Lemmios and Mlem still need so much work that I was surprised to find that some people find any of those apps adequate. Apparently personal preferences and needs play a significant role here.

              The only things holding me back from buying Bean are lack of customizable gestures and the inability to jump to comments from my profile. Avelon has both of those, but it lacks community grouping. Bean is just a bit more polished otherwise, and I like Bean’s larger post titles and formatting in general. I love the toe beans icons also. Keeping an eye on it for those additions.

                Everyone has slightly different needs and preferences, and I totally understand why you need those things. They aren’t really a deal breaker for me, since I also have Thunder so that I can do certain things more easily. At the moment there’s no single app that can do it all. Instead, you need to use two apps to do everything you want.

      Voyager is so much like Apollo, but I use Lemmy to share images since Voyager only shares links for now.

      Thunder is my favorite so far. The heavy focus on gestures took some getting used to for me but I’m on board with it now.

        2nd for Thunder, but I turned off swipe and gestures and turned on the buttons in General.

          Thunder is fantastic though i bet the team hates hearing from me. I test absolutely everything for screen reader accessibility and have submitted many many bugs. Thunder may very possibly bevthe most screen reader accessible lemmy app out their and that would be because of my reports and the fantastic coders.

          … really? I looked hard (I thought) when I started and didn’t find the settings to disable the gestures. Maybe I was drunk. I just updated so I’ll take another look.

          EDIT: there’s an entire setting category named “gestures”. Either I was drunk or blind or both last time I searched for those settings. Thanks
