I expect an even larger jump when on July 1s and onwards, that is where a lot of growth will come from.

    This. Like the apps are still there functioning. I uninstalled Boost and Apollo as my thumb kept clicking on them...

    I'm surprised at how quick I flipped my addiction from Reddit to Lemmy..

    I spend just as much time here as I did there. But its a happier time too.

    with some of the kinks of lemmy i dont think im spending as much time as i was on reddit

    but i am spending a decent amount and thats been awesome. i do think the more old school vibe is really effecting how i wanna connect here. its maybe less time but more quality

    people have been really nice

    im sure that will change at somepoint if our dreams become reality but its been a unique exp if nothing else.

    I keep suddenly finding myself using boost a few times daily when the instance I'm on goes down.

    Out of curiosity, which app was your preference between the two? I'm on android, so I never used Apollo, but tbh when I saw it I hated looking at it. I was surprised to learn it was the number one app. Did it have better features or something?

    It was pretty similar tbh. I liked both. I got an Android phone and an iPad sooo... Had no choice :)

    Apollo is a bit heavier on the sliding gestures. Swipe right to upvote. Swipe aaalll the way right to downvote. Left to share, all the way left to favorite... People really liked this. I don't mind it. Maybe cause I was on iPad? Like arrows are fine :)

    The only feature Apollo had that I was missing in Boost was the scrubbing on gifs and videos. You could replay in slow-mo, pause or even go faster with such ease. It was really really nice.

    I ended up having to rearrange my phone layout slightly, putting Mlem (how I’m accessing Lemmy) where I used to have Apollo. I did the same thing with Ivory (Mastodon) taking Twitter’s spot too
