I haven't gone to Reddit for a few days now. I might go later to watch it all for entertainment.

If you do, use teddit or something instead of actual reddit
Oh I didn't know about Jerboa. Loving it so far!
Anything been taken over by the admins and turned back on yet?
Not that I can see, yet.
Half the battle was finding something to put in the tray besides Reddit. Jerboa it is!
I migrated from Digg to reddit like 12 years ago. Now migrated to Lemmy and I’m on Tildes too, but I am definitely leaning toward Lemmy so far. I’m using the mobile site for Lemmy, but was wondering if there’s a good app for iOS. I loved Apollo and am so sad that it’s going down, although I totally understand why Christian is nuking it. Is Jerboa only for Android? Is there a decent app available for Lemmy on iOS?
Mlem is the Jerboa equivalent for iOS, though i don't have any personal experience with it.
Info found on the official Lemmy site: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/
I think it's Android only. Sorry my dude
I joined Reddit in 2015 after some Destiny creators mentioned it somewhere as an alternative to the Bungie forums. Been a daily user ever since. I joined in Windows Phone, which only had third party apps, so I've literally never used the official app. When I switched to Android in 2017 I believe it was, I downloaded Sync because it was most similar to the app I used before (I can't remember what app it was on Windows).
And now I'm here.
I discovered reddit for myself about 3ish years ago, I don't even remember how. Used the official app and still don't know why people shitting on it so much, the app itself is fine, like not smooth or especially pleasant to use but fine. So yeah, been using it daily - reading cool tech posts, watching dunk memes, asking dumb questions - all the good stuff. Saw the shitshow - decided it's time to leave, saw Lemmy as an alternative - decided to join. Jerboa is fine, the plan is to do all the same stuff.
People shit on it because it's way worse than what individual devs have achieved and provide for free. It's been in development for years, and it still hasn't achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?
I have Reddark open on my laptop while doing chores. Listening to it ding every few minutes is cathartic.
Almost the same path for me, except I never bothered with Digg. Just went directly from Fark & /. to Reddit
Now I'm hoping some of the active contributors to my loca subreddit show up here.
Well, about 6.5 years ago I found r/Grimdank and r/40klore…and r/Rabbits. I immediately fell in love with those communities.
I first started on the browser and the official App. But the App sucked (shocker I know) and I switched to RIF. Wonderful App.
Half a year ago I switched to Apple for the first time and found Apollo. Fantastic App.
I can’t give less of a shit about Reddit itself. But I hope the communities I grew to love will do fine or maybe even come here too.
I'm surprised r/libertarian is joining...
Strange, the Reddark site shows me a 404 error now, it worked previously.
Edit: nevermind it works again.
They got the hug of death. But they switched the domain to twitch and are live streaming the site locally.
That's one way to scale, hahaha.
Yeah I was just thinking about that, how ironic, the dying Reddit hug of death.
I think that's genius lol.
much the same - visiting various news & sci/tech sites manually, then link aggregators digg/reddit. infinity was my favorite 3rd party app - now using jerboa for mobile use of lemmy. jerboa has some issues and there needs to be more mobile apps but that issue will resolve itself in time
Is this even accurate? I can still view these sites and there are current posts being added
