    Yep… Bought Sync and Apollo long ago. Moved to Lemmy today. Slowly moving all of my main socials to decentralized/federated platforms because the greedy corpos breaking their own shit.

        Mlem if you have iOS or Lemmur on Android. There’s many more too (just off the top of my head)

        Jerboa for Android

            Ugh. I just don’t understand why Jerboa (name doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue…but that’s neither here nor there)…the biggest frustration (for me) is the wildly different font sizes between looking at the main page and clicking into a discussion. It’s jarring and super annoying.

              It’s a known issue that already has a fix that needs to be merged. It’s an unfortunately by product of how the app currently handles images in the comments section.

        Just came to Lemmy with the wave from sync :p

        Surprised at how similar Jerboa looked when I first opened it, but yeah~ going to try and join some communities and hopefully jump ship from reddit completely^^

          It’s coming. They are working on a new frontend at the moment and then the apps. For now you can install the website as a PWA using chrome or firefox. It makes kbin much better on mobile.

      Same. But I wish it was more straightforward. I’m not convinced the average/occasional user will transition to decentralized platforms if it’s a pain to do so.

        Lemmy is easier to get set up for us folks who aren’t as technical as we used to be. The biggest hurdle for me is for social networks like Twitter or IG where I know people irl who won’t be moving to mastodon probably ever. On Reddit I never made a single friend during the almost 15 years I had an active account.

        Always harder to take a privacy forward approach but the more people adopt it, hopefully all the more who see and also come over.

        Beehaw was super easy. It was literally just your typical sign up process for any website. For me the biggest hurdle initially was just understanding how all of this works, and how they all fit together.

        That might be for the better. The more people that get on these things tends to lower the bar and open these communities up to more bad actors.

          I’m not sure about that. I would expect motivated bad actors to be determined to overcome technical obstacles. It’s normal, casual people who’ll give up and leave.

            Ya the motivated ones will, but the low effort ones won’t which I think will significantly cut down on the overall shittiness.
