    I’m loving it too- I miss a lot of subreddits and the sheer volume of content from the other site, but it feels quite special here at the moment. Also I am loving how quickly Lemmy and all of the supporting apps are developing! I am using Mlem and am very impressed. I want to like wefwef and agree that it is very similar to Apollo, but I just can’t cope with web apps.

      I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.

      I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.

        I feel like I’ve seen a lot more posts in just the past few days since I’ve started coming here.

          It was slow when I came in last month, but it has gotten to pretty high levels of interaction since.

          We just need the niche stuff for us to customize and we will be good to go.

            Lemmy.world server was getting hammered on July 3rd. I was part of the wave on the 3rd. But since then things have been much smoother and I see a lot more activity.

          It takes time to develop custom content. Reposts are easy. Culture takes effort. Beans take effort.

      If you are on iOS try Mlem (if you can get on the TestFligh). It’s a much better, native experience.

        Another one worth a shot is Memmy, which I’ve settled of personally, as a prior Apollo user.

        I’d describe it as being halfway the two, but to me, it just feels best to use.

        As far as these beta apps go, I’m pretty surprised it’s this smooth to explore and use Lemmy today!

        For mastodon, I just found an incredible FOSS app for iOS too; Ice Cubes. It’s mind blowing, really, how far fediverse has got in these past years since I last actively used it!

        Memmy just went live on iOS public AppStore for anyone finding TestFlight full.

        Maybe I’m just close minded but I hate the tongue on the Mlem app logo. Remove the tongue and its a cute mascot. Leave the tongue and it looks like an app for furries. It’s just kind of off putting to me.

          You can actually change the icon from settings, and if I’m not wrong, some of them don’t display a prominent tongue or one at all.

          But, then again, the app’s name is literally “mlem” which is the cutest and goofiest thing that animals do, which I think you should definitely search on internet if the concept isn’t familiar to you! 🥹 the tongue could make more sense after knowing the context, and probably won’t give those vibes

      As soon as I can get a solid app experience instead of going to lemmy.world I’ll be happy.

      I have no plans on going back

      I completely understand where you’re coming from with web apps. Wefwef is very impressive, but it is not as smooth as a native app would be.

          It is, but I still encounter weird bugs and choppiness all over the place. I am thankful that it is more than just some website without the navigation controls, and I’m sure it will get better.
