I'm currently trying out Jerboa. Made my Lemmy acc yesterday, but made my Mastodon acc back in Feb so I've been on the Fediverse for at least a while.

I am never going to bow down to reddit filth. The Dragon of Dojima never surrenders to assholes making 3rd party devs lives miserable. I am just looking for RiF alternative. Apollo seems to have gotten a good one by wefwef but I sed RiF for years as my main app
Honestly, I really want to use Lemmy, but the performance of Lemmy.world is almost a deal-breaker. Comments and posts don't load half the time, sometimes typing can even be slow wefwef. I feel like I've made my bed with lemmy.world and don't really want to make accounts on different instances in the hope of getting usable performance.

Been holding off on wefwef until now. I did not realize it looked so closely similar to Apollo. I’ll be using wefwef forever now.
Wefwef for me too. The interface is pretty similar, so it didn’t take much to transition. I’m hoping things will pick up here, but so far I’m liking the new home.
That's awesome. It actually just looks like a completely blank post to me (using Mlem on iPhone), but I assume that's just because there's a lot of bugs left to iron out, and features to implement. Excited to see these apps after a few more months.
I'm exactly two weeks in, and I LOVE it! all the reddit fiasco was exactly what I needed to wake me up out of my shitty comfort zone. landing on lemmy was really confusing and strange at first, but now I feel like I'm part of something that is developing and growing in the right direction, with all the quirks and hardship that's part of it. it's great, and the wave of people who are coming in, plus the development of apps.. it all feels really pioneering. wefwef is great and liftoff as well. everything is becoming more friendly by the hour & updates.
I'm doing my best to transfer anything I found enjoyable on Reddit to Lemmy.World immediately. It will take some time.
Jerboa does okay for me. I still have my reddit account but unsubbed from almost everything. I am good with it.
Infinity refugee here. So far, Liftoff feels pretty solid, despite being in alpha still. Jerboa feels ok, but a bit slow and unfinished (I understand dev is actively working on the whole Lemmy and lemmy.ml instance, so no hard feelings for him). Waiting for Boost to give it a chance
I fled Digg for Reddit ... I have now fled Reddit for Lemmy
Feeling like Lemmy actually puts the control in the content contributors and moderators where it should be!
I'm just using it directly from the web via Firefox for Android. It works really well and is a much better experience than any of the trainwrecks Reddit has on offer.
I’ve been using Memmy for a few days, and it’s done a good job at filling the Apollo-shaped hole in my heart. As for Reddit itself, the community has become so toxic in the last few days that I’m honestly glad I’m not on there anymore.
