Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

    Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

    No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

      The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

      It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

    It’s time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

    Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

      I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

        Since it’s browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?

      Hi there - someone just mentioned a PWA (not even a full app, just a installable web page) called wefwef - look it up. It’s pretty usable beyond some of the other android apps out there already. Again, I emphasize and agree with you that the Reddit app ecosystem’s UI is still better at this point.
