They’ll be back here again in 2-ish weeks when Apollo and RIF are done.
And when mlem and other apps start rolling out for Lemmy, we’ll start seeing shifts. Apps that have proper accessibility, a clean UI, lack advertising and don’t eat data. And they give you the same Reddit experience without Reddit’s predatory business strategy.
When the blackouts stop, a lot of users will be able to search for Reddit alternatives and will find Lemmy… through Reddit.
I mod a sub with 65K users or so, I plan to go dark indefinitely. Also considering Read-Only with a sticky redirecting here. I know I’m not the only mod.
The Digg > Reddit migration wasn’t overnight. It was fast, though.
Yea, I keep thinking this. Once there’s an app on Android and iOS, one that can explain the fediverse simply and is well designed, many of the Apollo, RIF, and Sync users will jump over.
I was using Jerboa before, but honestly I think just using the browser page for Lemmy is better. Load up your preferred instance in your phone’s web browser and then in your browser options hit “add as app” or “add to home screen”

I’m using “jerboa for Lemmy”. Is that the best option? Feels very beta.
That’s because it’s actually still alpha ;)
Definitely plenty of kinks to work out. Give it time, it’s still very new.

Huh, I didn’t even realize it was a PWA, I never got the prompt on the first load (or I didn’t notice it). That actually works pretty nicely.
