10 year reddit user and day 1 Pro/Ultra Apollo user. Lifetime ultra was the best value for money I've ever spent, seriously. I tipped Christian ยฃ10 as a final thanks and... that's basically it. I did the same, mlem now stands where Apollo did.
Also, mlem does a decent job at not feeling too foreign compared to Apollo. Sure, the content of Lemmy isn't close to reddit, and apollo really was/is king, but I browsed /r/all on reddit and browsing /c/all on mlem isn't all that bad
I honestly can't believe it's been 10 years, also being a day one Pro purchaser.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: While browsing lemmy, if you didn't tell me I wasn't on reddit, I would not know.
You're not on Reddit btw
This is true, and an important thing for me. If I browsed specific subs, I'd definitely be able to see the difference. But I used reddit for just browsing the popular/cool topics of the day. I did subscribe to subs but rarely specifically entered one and browsed its content. I basically just blocked subs I didn't want and did it that way, so Lemmy isn't that different for me
Well, with that recommendation, I'll definitely keep an eye on mlem.
In the meantime, I'm pleasantly surprised at how usable Lemmy is on mobile web, much more so than Reddit.
