…how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I’m definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

    I tried lemmy a little, there’s not much content yet. It really depends on if the major power users migrate to lemmy, and on which instance they will migrate. The other problem being that I have yet to find a good mobile app to access the lemmy instances, and I’m too lazy to make my own (though it would be a good side hustle in my opinion).

      Which OS are you on, android or IOS? On android I’m using Jerboa and it’s honestly quite a nice app for being in the alpha stage, didn’t check to see if it’s on IOS as well

          Have you been able to get it to work? It crashes on me after about 60 seconds every time I open it. I definitely am feeling the loss of Apollo. Lemmy from the desktop isn’t bad, but the mobile experience is atrocious.

            I’ve also been having that issue. I ended up adding Lemmy as a web app and it’s a pretty decent experience.

              I have not found it’s all that usable as a web app. I did probably 90% of my redditing from my phone so this is a big one for me. If I had any tech skills at all I would consider trying to make an app, but dammit Jim I’m a geologist not a coder.

        Android, I tried getting Jerboa to work (it’s the only option after all), but I couldn’t, it keeps crashing on me

          Oh, no! I’m having such a good experience on Jerboa. I get little “time out” messages popping up now and then, but they don’t affect anything unless I’m actively navigating. I can continue to scroll & read comments on the page I’m on without interruption.

          I also figure that the rapidly increasing user base is a challenge for developers, so I am more than willing to be patient while kinks get worked out, especially when the inconvenience factor is so unnoticeable (for me).

      Use the mobile web and Desktop ui. get used to it so when the apps come you will be a pro at it. Give it a good day
