  • The Lemmy community are very welcoming. I’ve been here for a few days now and enjoying things so far.

    It’s obviously still early days regarding the whole Reddit fiasco, so there’s not a lot of options for more mainstream and streamlined apps. I’ve been using the Jerboa app from the Play Store, which is good, but not perfected yet. So I decided to login to Lemmy on Chrome and install the web app version which is working for me right now.

    What I’m keen to see is Lemmy grow and to come into its own. While it’s both funny and sad watching Reddit kill itself, and is obviously the hot topic at the moment, Lemmy needs to be seen as the Reddit alternative, so when Reddit users come here - they see that there are community’s here ready to go with each specific community posting and talking about their on-topic subject / news.

    Lemmy / the fediverse is a little confusing (for myself anyway), as an outsider, I’m still learning the ropes of instance’s and how things work specifically. As time goes on, I’ll be more comfortable here without looking too much like an idiot, I’m sure.


  • I was reading an article from The Verge - they’ve linked all the juicy parts of the AMA. I don’t have a Reddit account anymore since hearing about what their plans were a few weeks ago. It looks like Reddit is facing a very real, self inflicted meltdown.

    Fyi - it looks like the reviews for Reddit on the Google Play Store have been locked as well to prevent review bombing.
