Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?

It's really nice to see genuinely thoughtful comments on lemmy. It's definitely a refreshing change from the endless streams of tired, overused jokes that dominate that other site.

[–] Hank@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

edit: do we really have to copy the '/s' for sarcasm?

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

It's just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.

[–] awderon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

I'm done with Reddit. I can't support their behaviour so I'm moving on. I'm currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I'm interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.

We could only hope for a positive grow cycle: more people > more content > more people

[–] 15liam20@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

SPU... fuckin' a that's a good one. I'm trying to help push up the average the best I can.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, with 19 days in you are actually one of the lemmy grampas . :)

Looks like it has already started. People are reporting limiting errors in apps.

I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.

I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.

I was just using Sync for Reddit when I noticed I can no longer load comments and then a pop up came up that said I was being rate limited by reddit. F this, I'll no longer visit that site even.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow you're right. People are reporting the same thing.

[–] AskThinkingTim@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.

[–] AniMattronic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Started by checking out Mlem. Currently using Liftoff and enjoying the feel so far.

[–] Sterben@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We will see on 1th Jul :)

[–] geo@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

Gonna be super interesting to see this curve from 1st Jul...

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!

Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!

[–] StarManta@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I have tried some iOS Lemmy apps, the most solid one for me is Memmy

Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User's stat being over run by bots.

Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it's users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.

For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin's total users and active users are almost identical.

The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I'm wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?

I think there might some confusion in your comment. The post's data is for all lemmy instances, which is larger than just lemmy.world.

As of this moment, lemmy.world has about 51k users, followed by lemmy.ml's 39k and beehaw.org's 11k. If you take the top 10 non-bot lemmy instances, they add up to roughly 136k users. And that's just 10 out of 1000 instances. Source: https://the-federation.info/platform/73

All of that to say your math might be wrong.

[–] vaguerant@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need to juice the numbers by posting each paragraph as a separate comment, otherwise you'll never hit your daily 120.

[–] vaguerant@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm doing my part.

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait, there really are 5.7 million comments a day on Lemmy?

[–] ClassyHatter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Maybe, but how many of them are by bots?

[–] sota2077@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.

[–] shenanigans@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Spread across almost 1000 lemmy instances, yeah.

[–] Elcapitan786@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This doesn't appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.

The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.

Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

Wow that's crazy! Curious to see what will happen on the 30th.

[–] MicroWave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sync will blast an announcement in the reddit version about Sync for Lemmy, so I think that should be among the first wave. Curious to see what happens myself!
