I was banned from reddit so to me lemmy is a place I get to have a voice again.
Also it’s really cool to see the precise up and down numbers instead of reddit’s intentionally-obfuscated probabilistically nonoffensive “scores”.
You’re telling me my work computer will have reddit pre-configured as the default search engine, and I’ll have to manually type in google.com any time I want to search?

Here here! For all it's weaknesses, I'm learning to love Lemmy and it's strengths.

It’s gonna take a little getting used too, and there are some subs that it’ll take awhile to replace
But I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo stopped working on the 30th so it’s somethin

Only way I’ll go back is if they oust Huffman as CEO

I’d love that, but I can’t see myself going back without Apollo or some other third party app that doesn’t suck

It will probably resemble myspace: https://myspace.com/

Reddit’s actually less of a major player than it feels like when you’re in it.
Look at its place in The Internet Map: http://internet-map.net/#6-146.44287523142916-86.10421783299574

Just miss Apollo and some of the great communities, all the rest I won’t miss.

use wefwef.app ! just like apollo. i hardly skipped a beat moving over and browsing all

I know, it's just that Selig was such an amazing dev, and that apollo was just a lot more fleshed out than wefwef currently.
Wefwef is still amazing though, and that it's this good, so quickly, is mindblowing.

+1 for Memmy and Mlem as well!

I wonder how much effort it would take to make Apollo itself work with lemmy’s apis.
I bet there would be some work to modify things to handle the multi-instance thing, but a ton of that code could be re-used if it’s built correctly.
And although I don’t know it directly, I know indirectly that his code must be well organized, just based on how smooth and functional apollo was.

I miss having a small pixel pall to play with while scrolling

Best case scenario is that in the next ten years reddit becomes the equivalent of bing. Still around, but who really gives a shit
