This is true, and an important thing for me. If I browsed specific subs, I'd definitely be able to see the difference. But I used reddit for just browsing the popular/cool topics of the day. I did subscribe to subs but rarely specifically entered one and browsed its content. I basically just blocked subs I didn't want and did it that way, so Lemmy isn't that different for me

I ran a tiny subreddit dedicated to my favourite author, Bill Bryson. That's gone forever. I used Apollo.

10 year reddit user and day 1 Pro/Ultra Apollo user. Lifetime ultra was the best value for money I've ever spent, seriously. I tipped Christian £10 as a final thanks and... that's basically it. I did the same, mlem now stands where Apollo did.

Also, mlem does a decent job at not feeling too foreign compared to Apollo. Sure, the content of Lemmy isn't close to reddit, and apollo really was/is king, but I browsed /r/all on reddit and browsing /c/all on mlem isn't all that bad

Also just reiterating the thanks. I know nothing about coding or servers or running a forum, or even enough to know what questions to ask. But I do comment a lot, enjoy contributing, and upvote basically everything, so that I shall do!

I'm quite enjoying it so far! mlem is surprisingly great

I'm in the same boat. All my Apollo browsing time has been spent on learning this. I basically just tipped Christian £10 then checked out. mlem for iOS is surprisingly good, I feel pretty at home on it, at least for basic scroll browsing

To be honest I've settled into using mlem on my phone surprisingly well from Apollo. Obviously I'd rather not have to change at all but if Apollo goes, I'm gone.
