Some of my favorite subs have started going private already. I moved RiF out of the tray and replaced it with Jerboa.
I started my aggregated news with slashdot and fark. Moved to Digg after Kevin Rose announced it on TTV. went to Reddit at digg v2 because Reddit looked like diggv1. Went to rif when mobile usage passed my computer usage, now I’m here!
What’s your story?
Half the battle was finding something to put in the tray besides Reddit. Jerboa it is!
Oh I didn’t know about Jerboa. Loving it so far!
Used redreader. Saw news about API. Saw the word Lemmy. Typed it in f-droid, got Jerboa. Been here ever since. Miss the kitty pics though.
Search for cats in the community search! There’s cats! In fact…CAT TAX!
I’m surprised r/libertarian is joining…
Almost the same path for me, except I never bothered with Digg. Just went directly from Fark & /. to Reddit
Now I’m hoping some of the active contributors to my loca subreddit show up here.
Anything been taken over by the admins and turned back on yet?
Not that I can see, yet.
I have Reddark open on my laptop while doing chores. Listening to it ding every few minutes is cathartic.
I migrated from Digg to reddit like 12 years ago. Now migrated to Lemmy and I’m on Tildes too, but I am definitely leaning toward Lemmy so far. I’m using the mobile site for Lemmy, but was wondering if there’s a good app for iOS. I loved Apollo and am so sad that it’s going down, although I totally understand why Christian is nuking it. Is Jerboa only for Android? Is there a decent app available for Lemmy on iOS?
I think it’s Android only. Sorry my dude
Mlem is the iOS app but it’s currently in TestFlight
Mlem is the Jerboa equivalent for iOS, though i don’t have any personal experience with it.
Info found on the official Lemmy site: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/
Strange, the Reddark site shows me a 404 error now, it worked previously.
Edit: nevermind it works again.
They got the hug of death. But they switched the domain to twitch and are live streaming the site locally.
That’s one way to scale, hahaha.
Yeah I was just thinking about that, how ironic, the dying Reddit hug of death.
I think that’s genius lol.
I discovered reddit for myself about 3ish years ago, I don’t even remember how. Used the official app and still don’t know why people shitting on it so much, the app itself is fine, like not smooth or especially pleasant to use but fine. So yeah, been using it daily - reading cool tech posts, watching dunk memes, asking dumb questions - all the good stuff. Saw the shitshow - decided it’s time to leave, saw Lemmy as an alternative - decided to join. Jerboa is fine, the plan is to do all the same stuff.
People shit on it because it’s way worse than what individual devs have achieved and provide for free. It’s been in development for years, and it still hasn’t achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?
