Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren’t just low effort jokes.
I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting
Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.
I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.
Coming to a comment thread to reply “this” feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.
Cheugy – A pejorative description of lifestyle trends associated with the early 2010s
I think we just witnessed the birth of its use! It vibes like something that’s chuggy but has a kind of abstract phlegmy quality to it.
Who knows - I should be sleeping!
Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
Found wefwef today and love it.
I was kind of bummed when I realized it wasn’t a native app, but so far it’s been working great regardless.
I’ve added it to my Home Screen and to be honest I can barely tell it’s not a native app. It’s shockingly well put together so far.
the native site added as an app isn’t half bad either, it works in a very similar way but it just has some UI niggles
Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.
I’d agree. Wefwef is great, although it isn’t as smooth as a native app it seems. But it’s very good regardless. May also be it is a little iffy with iOS 17? Not sure.
That would he so nice. RiF is delightful. I love it’s not about bells and whistles, it was simple looking and the layout was clean and consistent. RIP RiF.
+1 to native app, it’s part of what made Apollo great
What do you mean by “join the Wefef developers to make a native app”
Are you saying you wish they would join forces and start or is Wefwef already on it?
I like the look of wefwef a lot, coming from Apollo but I just don’t love web apps for things like this - so a native app from them would be awesome!
With iOS 17, web apps will get more features to make them feel more native. It might be so close that it will be hard to tell the difference between a web-developed native app and a PWA. Wefwef is already really nice and it’s mere days old. I can’t wait to see where they take it.
Which apps are doing this by the way?
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might’ve actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn’t originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Do you have a link to the infinity for everything repository? I can’t seem to find it
This what you’re after? https://github.com/everything-gripe/Infinity-for-Everything
I would love to see them bring Sync and/or Boost to iOS with this, but I doubt it. But Wefwef and Memmy are great
Boost is the one I’m looking forward to the most. Highly customizable and highly streamlined
Boost is a legitimately perfect app for the format IMO. I’m so so so glad it’s coming over
In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.
Please RIF, become a fediverse app!
Sadly, it’s going to become a Tildes app apparently.
Don’t despair though, you can get fairly close with the Connect app with a few settings changes already.
I have never heard of tildes until now. Looked it up and man does that ui leave much to be desired. I’m glad I heard of Lemmy first.
I like the minimal UI of Tildes much like I heavily preferred the old reddit page design. It’s not fancy but it’s very functional, and Tildes is deliberately designed the way it is to discourage low effort content (e.g. no image/video embedding). I go to Tildes for the discussions and I come to Lemmy for the more “fast and loose” atmosphere
Tildes seems nice i just dont know anyone on it so i cant participate myself
Sync has announced that they are developing for Lemmy and I am so down for it.
