I've been pretty happy with wefwef and with the web interface. Lemmy is a great place! I'd forgotten how good it feels to be out from under the corporate thumb.

Besides some of the outages I have experienced and getting used to the Memmy app, I am enjoying my time so far. I haven’t posted yet since I was more of a lurker on Reddit but that will change since I want to see this community succeed.
Never used an app for reddit, but I left to protest how spez treated people. Other than missing the science/news/covid research content, I greatly prefer Lemmy. I look forward to seeing how the Fediverse grows, but I truly hope it doesn't detract for longtime users.
As for Lemmy apps... I tried wefwef, and liked it ok, but now I'm using Jerboa and I think I will stick with it for a while.
Migrated from Apollo, wepwep is my home while testing the other iOS apps. Feels good over here!
I wish wefwef would be a proper app. Webapps have never been my thing. I’m using Memmy right now and it’s okay.

I’ve been enjoying Memmy and Thunder. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and Wefwef is pretty damn close to Apollo. Personally, I’m excited for Artemis, which like Apollo was, is aiming to be a similarly smooth and robust standalone iOS app.
There's gonna be more 3rd party apps for Lemmy than there ever were for Reddit. Edit: And more open source, so you can contribute (or learn from it) too.

I'm on Android and the app if found that I like the most so far is Connect. For context, I was a sync for Reddit user and I'm already pre-registered for sync for Lemmy and Connect has UI quite similar to what I'm used to
despite having 3 Lemmy apps in rotation, it's been an excellent experience!
I found out I enjoy small active instances and communities by interest where I can take part in conversation and even start recognizing other users. Discovered "large communities" feel more like towns and that's fine. At least here I have the option on where I can lurk and post.
My first post here. Just Downloaded the app and exported my Apollo JSON file over. Hoping this site grows.
A lot of the content on here reminds me of old Reddit, I'm enjoying it so far!
The only thing I really miss from Reddit is the cryptocurrency mainreddit and the subreddits. Lemmy is definitely going to be amazing once other like-minded individuals migrate to lemmy.

using Connect for Lemmy on Android, and it’s a great experience. Also using Mlem on iOS in TestFlight, and it has been good as well. I also use the browser version if the app is being flaky.
so long as there's nice content i feel fine. 9gag, reddit, twitter, whatever.
I'm using liftoff at the moment, pretty good so far. I still get compulsions to type reddit after my Google searches though to look up answers on questions I have...need to break that years-long habit
I've been using Jerboa since mid June, but I'm on Android. It was a bit slow at first and I did have those gnawing desires to go back to reddit, but I haven't done so. You really notice the time waste on that site when you aren't actively going to it anymore.
