I’m getting my doomscrolling and worthless banter/arguing with strangers “fix” from lemmy.
But Lemmy is no replacement for local news/rumormill, or most career/hobby subs, yet. Except for at a very high level. Like metro area, or “gaming”. Reddit is still far superior only because theres already a community there.
Eventually Lemmy may get to that point. Time will tell. I still haven’t installed the Reddit app, and I basically only end up there when some other search brings me to Reddit. I’ve already stopped muscle-memory impulsively typing it. My autocomplete for www.red is no longer safe-for-work.
I caved and downloaded the Reddit app to get my fix for more niche communities that don’t have Lemmy equivalents yet (I don’t have the time nor the energy to stand up new Lemmy communities).
The app is just so infuriating and information dense. I struggle to figure out what’s actually content and what’s just an advert. Navigating doesn’t make much sense either.
Stay away from the app. Use the website if you absolutely have to.
I still check reddit for community and user based experiences on topics I don’t trust the Google bias with. The occasional ‘Fuck Spez!’ is a nice reminder.
Lemmy has the potential to become a future database of such kind but it’ll take time. Well unless there’s a disruption in the industry, that suddenly makes people move to or post more on Lemmy, like going viral through Hollywood maybe.
We still need to figure out a way to make it easier for younger and older people to use Lemmy, or it never happens.

Yep. Really miss Apollo. Wefwef is a good replacement but nowhere near as polished. Haven’t looked at new apps in a while though.
Same here unironically
I still miss Apollo, I’m trying to use lemony more though
