Same. I just started today and I’m having fun with it. Feels like when I just started Reddit. Definitely not as many communities but I feel like it’ll get there.
It’s definitely one of the ones with the most promise. I say “one of the ones” because there’s also kbin and it literally doesn’t matter which one you use, you get the same content. Any new fediverse reddit-like that pops up is also swimming in the same stream, can only compete on features and administration, not on content lock-in. The fediverse is pretty dope.
Tbh I don’t care which wins as long as it’s open and federated, I’ve heard a lot about Kbin but not tried it yet becouse last heard it only had one server, but it sounds like it has a lot of promise
Holy shit, they killed him right there. They have put the thread in “sort by new” mode and I bet it’s just to bury that bomb as deep as they can.
Apollo didn’t auto switch it for me so it was at the top lol. Of course Spez ignored that one. He actually took a shot at Christian in another comment
Saw that. Glad lemmy is taking off.

Yeah it will. Even it doesn’t reach critical mass if it just becomes a tight nit community on here I’m fine with that.
I think Reddit was just to big anyway, i think we are just early for the big wave when the changes over there are through.
I hopped onto Lemmy yesterday when I saw the news that Sync was shutting down. Already enjoying the communites more than I ever was on reddit.
Is Lemmy the biggest contender for a Reddit alternative rn?
It’s the only one I’ve heard of so I’d assume so but I’m also curious to know the answer to your question too.

My favourite part is when Christian
I’ve never tried Apollo, and haddent heard of it until the reddit api stuff happened, but I fully respect everything I’ve seen it’s dev do sense
damn reddit’s in full “burn it down” mode rn
The absolute destruction of the man. And to make things even worse he continued to dig in the Apollo dev. Unbelievable!
Sort by new mode? I guess I haven’t heard of that… on account of using a 3rd party app for years.
