& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

It's tough, I'll be honest. I can't completely wrap my head around lemmy, I'm confused about seeing communities I never subrscibed to (and some I wish I didn't have to see), and can't fully understand how it works. It also just.. doesn't have the same things I used to follow, or at least I can't get them to show up. I'm struggling, and honestly don't know what to do with all that empty time. I guess it really was an addiction.

This was shared with me my first day & really helped a lot!

Also, one of the first things I noticed when I created my account & searching for communities was that you can actually block a community. If you didn't want to see it, is all. I just thought that was pretty awesome considering how many times I wanted to on Reddit but couldn't.

Mlem and Memmy are quite tolerable

Wefwef is incredible. I've never seen a web app that's even half as technically impressive, and it gets 2-3 major updates a day. Huge hats off to the devs.

2-3 major updates a day.

as a QA Manager that makes me deeply nervous

I like Summit best of the three apps I've tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It's a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.

As for missing reddit, well... it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I'm hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!

Edit: yeah no, wefwef blows the rest out of the water, fr

Check out wefwef, jerboa and Connect as well.

Many more to come in the near future.
