Done with Reddit’s bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?

    Lemmy has completely solved my need for news content when bored. I no longer use Reddit.

      Same. Haven’t been over there in weeks. I have a few friends that roll their eyes whenever I link to something or say “on Lemmy” when answering a “where did you find this?”

      What are your top news communities here. It sounds pathetic, but I got to nearly 99% of my news from Reddit.

        Tap communities in the header and filter by “all”

        That will show you all of the most popular communities across Lemmy.world, and other sites sharing their content with Lemmy.world

        It’s not here, but you can watch the pbs newshour on YouTube for free, or you can stream the audio over your phone (I use spotify, but I’m sure it’s on other platforms too).

        Browse lemmy for entertainment, watch the news for information

        There are a lot of the same type of communities as reddit, a symptom of so many of us coming over. I looked through my subscribed subs and just searched for fediverse alternatives, they were pretty much all easy to find

    Mlem is an incredibly nice app for IOS users, it reminds me of Apollo so I feel right at home!

      Is it true that if you download from the GitHub you won’t automatically get updates? Does the app update itself internally?

      I’ve heard so much praise for Thunder but I don’t see it in the Google play store or f-droid, and I don’t trust myself to keep it up to date manually.

    Kbin is so goddamn good it’s scary. Reads and posts to both Lemmy and Mastodon, can subscribe by user, community (magazine), or domain. It’s new and still under development, so expect bumps, but it absolutely crushes Reddit once you get your subscriptions set.

      I’m a Kbin convert I must say - it’s as versatile as you like and considering it’s very much under construction it’s really impressive how much you can do with it.

      I lurked on several different fediverse options before though and none of them were bad but Kbin just clicked for me

    You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I’ve tried so far.

    Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.

    With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it’s very fluid.

    All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.

    Good luck on your lemmy journey.

    Great actually. I think a large portion of Reddit was just bots and shills. I haven’t felt a need to return tbh

    I’d recommend voyager first it’s what I’ve been mostly using and since I started there’s been almost daily updates adding more and more quality of life features and stuff people are requesting. It’s been pretty incredible to see! There’s also a neat feature that can take your list of subreddits from a reddit account and help you find their equivalents throughout lemmy. Liftoff and Thunder are 2 other good ones I’ve been playing around with. And best of all, no fuckin ads haha

      I tried to use that feature but it looks like reddit has broken two factor auth on their website. I literally can no longer login through a web browser like the tools instructions say to do.

    Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.

    Along with that, Voyager has been an amazing app and the rate at which they are improving it has been unbelievable. I feel like I see a substantial update every day or two.

    I’ve been off Reddit since the protest and am pretty much at the point that I don’t miss anything about it. There’s a handful of Apollo features I still miss, but at this rate, Voyager will fill in those gaps in no time.
