Totally anecdotal but I’d originally quit Reddit back in December and was an avid Sync user. Heard about Lemmy during the reddit drama and could just never get into it. After ljdawson dropped Sync, started to get into Lemmy!
One of the easiest things to do, if you use Telegram, is try to find the main group for your phone then subsequently find the group chat to different roms and pick out the one you like. It’s the quickest way to get help since the telegram chats are generally quite active. Alternatively xda also works
Check out AirMessage, you can set it up on your Mac and as long as it’s connected to the internet, you can use the AirMessage app to get iMessage on an android.
Alternatively there’s Bubble but that requires you to Apple sign in to their system and didn’t seem very safe but it doesn’t require a mac
