Been on lemmy.world since around 10 days and I've already noticed a significant increase in activity. Pretty exciting! I tried wefwef but for some reason scrolling doesn't work so well on my smartphone, Jerboa is great and I think I'll stick to it, for now.

Still browsing reddit from desktop, can't stay away from some subreddits like /r/combatfootage and /r/manga. On mobile I use Jerboa.
The latter is especially why I hope the manga community here continues to grow.

I'm having the hardest time using Lemmy. I got Jerboa and subscribed to 3 communities. However I see other communities online and Jerboa can't seem to find them. How can I force Jerboa to locate a community?
People keep saying Lemmy is easy to use but it doesn't seem to be so far even though I'm really trying to stay away from Reddit. That's one thing that Reddit has an advantage in, it's very easy to use.

there was a moment today while reading a deep thread when i completely forgot which platform i was on. i was simply enjoying the content and community.
Unfortunately, the reddit app doesn't have the features I want - Sync was a perfect fit, I didn't want to see automod pinned comments on every thread (and a while ago reddit removed the ability to block automod natively), bacon reader did have this feature within the app but after a while stopped perusing it.
I can't use a client where I'm ass-blasted with ads and garbage that I cannot filter out, so here I am... We'll see how it goes.

I keep opening Apollo out of habit but haven’t checked reddit at all today and I’m ok with that lol
So glad I had the push to get off reddit, so nice here, and its always nice to start over with a fresh slate, hopefully I will be here for another 7 years
I’ve been enjoying Memmy and Thunder. Tried it out for the first time yesterday and Wefwef is pretty damn close to Apollo. Personally, I’m excited for Artemis, which like Apollo was, is aiming to be a similarly smooth and robust standalone iOS app.
I'm on Android and the app if found that I like the most so far is Connect. For context, I was a sync for Reddit user and I'm already pre-registered for sync for Lemmy and Connect has UI quite similar to what I'm used to
despite having 3 Lemmy apps in rotation, it's been an excellent experience!
I found out I enjoy small active instances and communities by interest where I can take part in conversation and even start recognizing other users. Discovered "large communities" feel more like towns and that's fine. At least here I have the option on where I can lurk and post.
It’s not too bad. The lack of a history of posts on Lemmy makes me miss Reddit more than anything. The engagement here seems pretty good but I hope it continues to get better. It will just take time.
