Wow that sucks, It just sucks even more that a good portion of the Reddit Fanbase doesn't want to even try other platforms such as Lemmy which give much better user experiences in the end.
Lemmy not pulling in Reddit's general audience and Lemmy having a better user experience than Reddit are highly correlated.
My Reddit usage is highly correlated with whether or not I'm at my desk.
I feel like I need to wash my hands after opening the official Reddit app on my phone.
I recommend Stealth for Android. You can subscribe to subreddits and get nsfw access, and all this without an account. Only con for people might be not being able to sign it, but I don't see not being able to comment or interact as a con with the benefit being less account based information being collected.
Are you on Android? I use boost for reddit, as well as boost for lemmy... Its a great app. To use it for reddit just create a random sub and become a mod. Any name just create a sub, then it will let you log into boost... Full access and a great user experience...
Ohh is that why boost still works? I should reinstall it.
Boost will only work if you're a mod... There is a guide to use ReVanced to make it work but it's buggy... Just create a sub and become a mod and you should be good to go. Even NSFW works if you're interested.... Definately download it
Someone should put together some lists of instances to block for new users. Only English for example. Lemmy seems like opposite reddit, you block communities not subscribe to them. It's taken me months to block enough that my feed has mostly things I care to look at. My blocked list is miles long, I think I've subscribed to 50 but I never browse it, it's so slow moving.
Idk honestly. Lemmy is quite an echo chamber in terms of tech stuff especially. I think reddit having much more content of all different types can make it a better user experience for most people. I find it hard to suggest lemmy for the average user who just wants to see memes and discussions based on their hobbies and interests. Lemmy is a lot less diverse.
yeah I wish we had more variety unfortunately I don't have time to commit myself to be a mod for a community here
@Neve8028 I know I for one have been trying to fix it in the gaming sense talking about the games I enjoy on communities I rather find or make myself. Hopefully more topics get explored and filled in the near future.
You're 100% right about that. Try mentioning a web browser that isn't Firefox for a good example.
actually you should be using waterfox / librefox
There's great lemmy apps too like Connect for Lemmy which has become my favorite. Handles multiple instances well and good filtering settings.
I’m using Memmy on iPhone and it’s awesome, very similar to Apollo. Custom gestures, themes, hide read posts, etc. Can’t recommend it enough to my iOS homies
I used Memmy for a while (actually since I created this acount during “the incident”) and recently swapped to Avelon id suggest to check it out
I still have Memmy installed but Avelon is my personal go to
Using Boost for Lemmy on Android! It has such a nice interface.

I use that app on my iPad it has been a nice replacement for Apollo.
