    Pro: there is a Lemmy app (Voyager) based on the amazing Apollo for Reddit app.

    Cons: Like 5 people total were chatting about the Super Bowl in the most populous NFL community.

    There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

    Still going to give it a try, but my excitement waned pretty quickly.

      I genuinely miss the F1 and CFB communities for the commentary, but I’m glad I left reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. It’s nice to have a media feed that isn’t cluttered with ads.

      Seems like you guys still posted 120 comments, that’s not so bad!

      There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

      Feel free to have a look at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca for some recommendations, especially this post: https://lemm.ee/post/54763669

      Sorry to hear, hopefully we can make your experience a bit nicer

      yeah we’re here not because it’s the next new reddit, but because we were tired of reddit and spez. never said this place wasn’t a fixer upper! it’ll take some time to build up communities. but this place is doing better and better and only seems to be growing.

      keep lemmy in your pocket. crosspost some memes. it’ll be here for you, and even more so if you’re here for us!

      go birds 😜

      Indeed, Lemmy tends to have fewer but more engaged users. Which is weird at first. Can’t wait for the moment we’ll stop seeing known faces

      I personally like Jerboa, but I also used to use RIF is fun for Reddit which had a similar UI. I’m probably in the minority on preferences which is nothing new

      mlem is pretty great. arctic too. I’m planning on switching back to Android this year though, anyone know any equivalent quality Android clients?
