    For me it was Relay. Absolutely perfect in every way, and the gesture navigation was so intuitive. Currently using jerboa for Lemmy and excited to see where it goes or what other apps become available for it

      I was looking the jerboa page and it called Lemmy a “federated” alternative to Reddit. What does federated mean in this context?

        It’s it’s own platform, but there’s other platforms that cross talk and are all one for the end user.

        It’s basically reddits within reddits within reddits all communicating with eachother. There is a connect point between them, the individual instances, and they are ran by people willing to do so, they control the flow of communication based on the communities needs, in theory.

      Relay is amazing. At this point I couldn’t give a shit if reddit ever goes back to “normal” but I’ll hate giving up Relay. If only there was some way to log in to Lemmy on Relay.

        Don’t quote her on this but I think someone is or was working on a wrapper to translate API calls from Reddit to Lemmy. In theory that would make it possible for 3rd party devs like Relay to change the end points to Lemmy. Big if true.
