& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

Yeah Lemmy seems the way forward. It just sucks for all the subs that won't be making it here anytime soon. Niche subs I'm following for example, I'll still have to rely on Reddit.

There's definitely a period of transition. I didn't expect to completely jump ship since I replied so heavily on reddit for community information and general news. However Lemmy does look really promising.

It does actually. I'm creating a community for one of the subreddits I was a part of, hopefully more people will join and fully migrate from Reddit.

It's heroes like you that make it all possible. Not everyone has the time or ability to moderate a new community, but it's great that those that do take initiative to do so. Once the community exists at all, it's much easier for others to start posting, which gets the ball rolling. There isn't any silver on this site to give but here, have a Lemmy Lemon 🍋

When Lemmy gives you a Lemon, you make lemonade 🍋

I was forced to take a serious look at the number of subs I was following for drama's sake before opening my own sub because I don't want to be at it 24/7

Can‘t you just open them yourself?

I opened a couple sure but the problem is getting the traffic on here. I can't just make a post on the subreddit because it gets removed immediately by the mods.
