I like this lemmy trend of bread popping up in my Hot feed. Looks dee-lish!

You might be right, oh god. Official app and nothing but complete shit heads and bots, where’s my IPO! 🤣

Hell yeah.

Plus I’m a big replier and thorough (if I’m giving my opinions on a video game for example). Then some shlub comes in and says TLDR. Really dude.

Glad to be here, quality over quantity. Atm the activity and engagement is around the same vibe as a large forum of yester year. Love it.

God.

Good one dad !

Exactly, it’s all it takes right? I do genuinely wonder how many people on reddit were just bots, the amount of vitriol was super unbalanced compared to real people like on old forums. Does make ya think…

Oh it’s not externally hosted? Interesting.

edit: oh shit, you’re right. Damn that’s new then?! Amazing.

Oooh, first time seeing images/gifs in posts. This looks really nice on PC. Is that just a direct imgur link or something?

Give it a whirl man, it’s pretty close to Apollo as well. It’s just a little more solid right now than wef. Good luck!

I was a somewhat massive lurker on reddit, I didn’t bother engaging much because I knew 60% of the time the reply would be snippy, even if my post wouldn’t be remotely combative. So over the years I just stopped bothering mostly.

My inbox has kicked off more here in the last week than probably the last 365 days on reddit. It’s really wholesome, for lack of a better term.

All it takes if you commenting, to fire off more comments just like now. It’s good shit!

Nice OP!

Same here, if anything this whole thing has done me a favour. Many times the past year i’ve considered giving up reddit. I tend to scroll reddit when I play with the dog after walkies, and the amount of time my brain says ‘why you do this shit?’ as I scroll past nothing, looking at comment chains of constant bickering. Why am I scrolling pasts hundreds of pointless comments, meandering bad takes, puns, the time wasted…for what gain? It was kinda an addiction I guess.

The first day has been great tbh, Memmy feels good despite the instance’ slowness. The Hot filter is pretty good for catching newISH posts, or light comment posts which i’ve been tagging onto.

It really feels like old school forum days, and it’s been really awesome to have my inbox popping off with replies. What’s the point of lots of comments like a big reddit thread when no one replies or even sees your comment? Really looking back, it was just pissing in the wind.

Or if you did get a reply over on pigboycity, it would be some massive drangus trying to start a fight. Just ugh. I deleted my posts and account yesterday, now reddits just gonna be my suffix for google searches when I need something (until the fed starts getting indexed over the coming months/years).

I also really like the look here. old.reddit to me always looked shit from a UI standpoint (Despite being massively better than New, of course). lemmy.world just looks concise without being overwhelming. I’m excited to see growth and engage with real people again just like the old days.

Yea man, I thought wefwef was the one, but I dislike not having a default sort option, nor tapping the top of the screen to return from the bottom of a comment chain [for example]. I’m sure it’ll get there. IDK anything about these web apps, and if they’re limited in their functionality but it LOOKS really really fucking good for an early app.

Memmy is solid and it’s my most used so far, it’s fun to hop between all though now that the instance is a bit more settled tonight.

I’ve said this a million times it feels like already on the fed, but any app that gets ‘auto mark read’ for scrolling posts, will be my winner. Apollo spoiled me on that for brainless scrolling.

It just had an update that fixed it, something to do with lemmy.world’s recent update.

Long may the fed live. FUCK reddit and their bot infested bullshit. Welcome all new peeps!

End of the World running club. As someone the UK the concept of a massive apocalyptic event set in the uk was intriguing. I loved the book.

Also Sphere by Michael Crichton. In my own head canon, I seem to recall reading this in one sitting over a single night I was doing an all nighter. It was just super gripping!
