On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    This place reminds me of old school Reddit, before they started trying to turn it into a traditional social media platform. I love it!

      Exactly. It’s janky and doesn’t always work. But it’s not riddled with ads and echo chambers. What a breath of fresh air.

        Yep, exactly! Not the same tired obvious joke repeated over and over in comments. Karma doesn’t matter, so no karma whores. Just people talking and sharing info - how it should be. I’ve been going through and trying to find my favorite app for Lemmy (Android). So far Liftoff is the clear winner, but there’s still a handful left to checkout. Have you found any decent apps?

          I’ve been giving the wefwef web app a try. They posted an update today from 0.11 to 0.12 and all I had to do to update is open the menu and tell it to update. Took half a second. Didn’t have to close the app or open another store.

          It supports swipe gestures for comments as well.

          But I’ve heard that jerboa is bad about a connection issue, especially when posting a comment. Makes users hit submit multiple times without closing the window due to it not registering the submission.

          Have liftoff installed, but haven’t really tested it out yet.

          Just my two cents thus far with two days lurking, and first day of having an account.
