For me Lemmy was my gateway to the rest of the Fediverse. I can say I like Lemmy way more than I ever did Reddit. The people are nicer the engagement feels more real and over all it’s a better vibe. Here’s to 2 more everyone!

So you’re from the first reddit exodus (third party apps ban) in 2023 like me.
Yep they killed Apollo and I took off running looking for greener pastures I think I went to the right place.
Same. No Apollo no Reddit. Haven’t been back except to delete my account a few weeks later.
I also left when Apollo went down! The grass is much greener here if you ask me.
I’m in the same boat here, not regretting it at all that I moved on.
Exactly the reason I left. I was so pleased when Apollo for Lemmy in the form of wefwef/voyager existed too
Was that two years already? I thought that was last year. Tme flies when you’re having fun, I guess.
That’s why I’m here! :D
The developer of my favorite reddit app (dBrady, Relay for Reddit) decided to play along with Spez’s game and start charging for usage.
So I fucked off, and after testing every Lemmy app I could find, I settled on Voyager. It’s not optimized for foldables like Relay—and it’s swipe gestures aren’t as intuitive—but it’s close and still better than paying to use reddit.
Fuck reddit, and fuck Spez
Is there more than one exodus now? I haven’t been keeping track.
There was a smaller (?) one a few months ago when reddit started punishing people for upvoting content that went against their ToS.
Edit: here’s an article.
There have been several. Before lemmy there were others that failed.
Same here! Though I took a 6-month break in between quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy. I remember hoping it would amount to a feeling of liberation but in reality I just felt out of touch with world events and started scrolling through my Google feed instead, which sucked…
Amen
