Speaking of 3rd party apps, here’s a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I’m testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I’m testing Jerboa. What’s everyone’s favorite app so far?> The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.
EDIT: @[email protected] has pointed out that this stat is for total comments by day, not per day. Thanks for the correction.
Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.
EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.
It’s just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.
I ultimately still need to use reddit for a few things, mainly a modding group from Skyrim I’m a part of and we use reddit as a sort of hub for our work, so I’m kind of stuck there until the heat death of either reddit or the project.
I do have hope for Lemmy though, but as of July 1st, reddit will lose me as part of their mobile ecosystem because I refuse to utilize that shit app of theirs.
I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

edit: do we really have to copy the ‘/s’ for sarcasm?
Came here to say this.
The /s should remain a thing of the past. It’s embarrassing.
I’m done with Reddit. I can’t support their behaviour so I’m moving on. I’m currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I’m interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.
I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!
Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!
I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.

I believe mlem has been abandoned. I think I saw a post from the dev.
The original dev has transferred leadership to someone else, but development is still active. A new release came out today, actually.
Shit, good to know. Thank you.
I’ve settled my focus on Memmy with some periodic checks on Mlem. I’m a sucker to try as many new Lemmy apps as I can but Memmy is where I spend my time. The development pace is amazing.
same here, i’m super impressed with how far along memmy has come in such a short time. really excited to see how all of these apps continue to improve but memmy is a clear #1 for me at this point in time
We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people
Also more developers
I still use Infinity for reddit from time to time. But these days I spent most of my online time with Jerboa. I had tried the offcial Reddit app and it’s basically unusable on my phone.
I was just using Sync for Reddit when I noticed I can no longer load comments and then a pop up came up that said I was being rate limited by reddit. F this, I’ll no longer visit that site even.

Really hoping they can get the version incompatibility and stability issues worked out. Most users are going to want to use a mobile app they can just get on the play store/app store and currently Jerboa is still experiencing a lot of crashes and weird glitchiness. I tried Thunder too, but it also crashes randomly, but at least it lets you log into whatever instance you want, unlike Jerboa 0.0.35+
I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.
Try wefwef.app
Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.
I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.
I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.

Not commenter, but I’m going to barge in - I literally went and touched grass. A week away from social media and reduced computer time. By the time I returned, the Lemmyverse was popping off.
This doesn’t appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.
The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.
Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.
For apps, Connect and Summit seem to be the best I’ve tried. Summit is closest to the app Slide that I used on the website that shall not be named.
Jerboa crashes on older servers so I haven’t really been able to use it as Lemmy.world is a 17.X server because of the captcha removal “feature”.
I breifly had that issue, but it seems to be resolved. Reading and posting from lemmy.world
Connect and Liftoff are my favorites so far.
Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.
I use wefwef.app, it’s not an app but a website specialized for iOS. It feels like Apollo.
For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.
I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like ‘you aren’t logged into X, login to comment’ when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.
Started by checking out Mlem. Currently using Liftoff and enjoying the feel so far.
