I’ll admit I’ve drifted off Lemmy the last month or so… content was a bit repetitive and felt like just an echo chamber of the same ideas. I didn’t go back to Reddit, Reddit lost me to tiktok it turns out.
Jumped back on now and so many more posts have inspired me to comment. I’m a comment contributor generally but I wasn’t feeling it.
Anyway… just wanted to pop in and say I’m really enjoying it. Not that I was ever going anywhere but this is a great trajectory
It will only get better if more people contribute good content. Do your part and it will continue to get better
It definitely has gotten way better, perhaps the addition of Sync and Boost for Lemmy helped to keep active users steady.
Most of my usage with Lemmy is thanks to Sync for Lemmy.
Props to Voyager too. It’s now in Fdroid and allows me to hide the voting scores. That’s all I’ve ever wanted from Reddit, a great client like Infinity with no visible vote scores. Lemmy will be more and more used with all these new clients for sure.
Voyager is awesome, and the latest version brought lots of nice stuff, but sadly it still doesn’t feel as smooth as I wanted to, going back to my subscription list makes the app hang a lot… I appreciate the tweaks dev did to smooth the scroll though.
Do you have a ton of subscriptions? So even pressing the back button takes a while? I can optimize this
I’ll also add the liberal use of the “hide read” button on sync means that I no longer see stuff I’ve already seen
That feature is the best if you ask me, gladly almost all the Lemmy clients have adopted it so far, but it works better in Sync thanks to a feature that it has to keep them hide indefinitely/for more time, that way, I don’t need to depend on Lemmy website option, which is a downgrade in all senses.
Yup. That’s because the Lemmy side of the Fediverse had a bit more time to settle down, after the huge influx of users from July.
Yeah. Although, I was more like a niche contributor in Reddit and currently Lemmy’s action happens in big communities, so I became more like a commenter than a poster. All things considered, it’s cool.
I was a huge comment poster on Reddit back in the day. Now I post a lot on here. Kind of a 180.
