    Just signed up a few hours ago and trying to get a feel of the place. Looking good so far :)

    First post here!

    As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.

      The dev of WefWef is aiming for feature parity with Apollo and they’re updating it super often.

      Welcome!

      Memmy !memmy@lemmy.ml is quite good, a native app. Mlem !mlemapp@lemmy.ml feels more like Apollo than Memmy but isn’t quite as far along as Memmy.

    First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I’m using the Connect Lemmy app!

      Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.

      Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.

      Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.

      The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.

      This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I’m not correct, please let me know.

      Oops, double post. As a former Redditor of about 12 years this is kind of fun fucking up without purpose.

    Happy to try it though I haven’t found a cell app I much like yet.

    I think the biggest challenge is going to be transplanting the knowledge. There are so many tutorials and walkthroughs that are on reddit.

    It’s why what was working best was the Mods making everything private.

      Wefwef is working well for me on iPad. I was used to using Apollo to browse reddit, so this has been a godsend. I’m starting to feel more comfortable with using Lemmy a bit more as I’m figuring out what is going on! I hope that the youthfulness of lemmy (to me anyway) is a nice filter from the overwhelmingness of reddit… the downside is that it feels very niche so far, but as adoption becomes more apparent, it will be a budding new “front page” for me.

      But if you’re an apollo user, I’d suggest maybe looking at wefwef, and use that to interact with lemmy.

    I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!

    First comment on Lemmy… Been a lurker on Reddit for years who’s recently become more active… Looking forward to contributing more on Lemmy! Network errors galore right now, but that’s a good thing right? Everybody coming over from Reddit in droves, I would imagine… Let’s f’in goooooo!

    Edit: this comment gave me all sorts of problems while attempting to post, sorry for the duplicate versions… but I imagine this will calm down soon and all will be right as rain in no time 👍

    Still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out. I have an account with Lemmy.World, but I can still post/view other instances if they are shared? Anyways now that RiF is gone, guess I’m done with Reddit. Glad to be here!
