This all made me realize while I had a reddit account for awhile, I never truly was on it much at all until I discovered Boost. Then it became a daily part of my life. Looking forward to the new Boost while I check out the other apps.
As much as I want to move on to the fediverse, there are occasions where Reddit is better, such as finding specific questions that were answered; it’s like the stack overflow for general life. Now I just browse the cached version if I need to search for something like that.
I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn’t around yet.
I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I’ll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won’t be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful
I use lemmy occasionally. I do feel the impact of a significantly smaller community though. A lot of the subreddits I would regularly check are not even here. So unfortunately for now, I’m forced to use the official app. Tried the RSS route too, but it seems it would be too expensive for me.
I’m sure the lemmy community will continue to grow, so I’ll stick around.
There are niche reddit communities I might still interact with.
But I have a combo of NoScript/adblock/ublock origin hard mode and a cancelled premium making sure they don’t get a penny from me, and I’ll prefer to post any useful info on Lemmy instead.
I’m going the supplementation route for now. Reddit official app is not enjoyable to use. I currently have a work around for my 3rd party app of choice. If the work around ever fails and reddit doesn’t improve their app, I’m hopeful Lemmy will grow enough in the meantime to fully fill the reddit void.
I will be if I can get a good app to use on my phone. I’d also love to see some qol features like RES offers for my browser. But I am enjoying it so far!
Not OP but I’m finding it more intuitive. I come from RIF and I feel the experience is similar to that. I was spending a ton of time on Jerboa just figuring out where the heck things were.
Go to whichever comment/post on a lemmy instance you’re trying to comment on and copy the link in that little colorful icon below/above the comment/post (that’s the fediverse icon and the fediverse-wide interoperable link).
Then just paste that into your search field on your mastodon instance, and the rest is self-explanatory from there.
