You can add this repo on F-Droid to install/auto-update: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo
On a related note, I use Droid-ify which is an alt F-Droid client made with Material UI. It includes some repos out of box for conveniences sake as well.
This should be long fixed. I think people who have been taking about this recently are in instances that are having trouble helping up with traffic? Definitely not sure
Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.
Along with that, Voyager has been an amazing app and the rate at which they are improving it has been unbelievable. I feel like I see a substantial update every day or two.
I’ve been off Reddit since the protest and am pretty much at the point that I don’t miss anything about it. There’s a handful of Apollo features I still miss, but at this rate, Voyager will fill in those gaps in no time.
I’m a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I’ll bounce over to that app. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn’t have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don’t have to feel as gross doing it.
It’s going fine. There’s enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.
How to help fuck up Reddit’s IPO:
Using Lemmy itself is already a way to do so. Post, comment, vote, mod, this kind of stuff. In special, create and/or nurture communities about things that you care about, sometimes a post goes a long way.
If you got the money, time, and technical expertise to do so, consider building your own instance. Specially if you want to focus on a niche subject.
If you still have your Reddit account, and if Power Delete Suite still works, consider replacing your content there with literal gibberish (“4593fnjkfgehjkre” style). Reddit is trying to profit from corps training bots, and gibberish makes it less valuable.
If some content creator mentions resources in Reddit, make sure to mention available sources for the same resources elsewhere, or ask for them.
Teach people how to google stuff. Seriously. ~50% of the Reddit traffic is due to people using “site:reddit.com” in Google to make the results less crappy, but you can get similar results with negative query searches, exact terms, and stuff like this.
These are awesome suggestions. I have a 9 year old Reddit account and I’d love to nuke all the content I’ve ever contributed. Unfortunately without push shift I don’t think it’s even possible to get at anything more than a couple years back, but I research that tool.
If you happen to still have a Reddit account, could you check if the tool that I’ve linked still works, after the API closed? You don’t need to trash all the content to test this, just post something to profile and then remove specifically that post.
Sorry for asking this, but I’m wondering if I should still suggest the tool, and I can’t test this out because I don’t have a Reddit acc any more.
Unfortunately without push shift I don’t think it’s even possible to get at anything more than a couple years back
I’ll try to put in some time to test this soon. I really want my account completely wiped out. I did a California data request through the official reddit channels, but they only gave me my data back to 2021. Ideally I’d like to archive all my comments, and then wipe everything, but I’ll settle for whatever I can get at this point.
Yes but it’s possible to work around that “junkness” without Reddit. At least partially. (I know from blacklisting Reddit from Google results for years.)
Memmy is great. Voyager / Wefwef is my second choice. I still have to use the baseline web interface for some things, including moderating. So it’s still coming together.
But I echo your sentiments. Fuck Reddit’s bullshit.

If you’re on iOS, checkout Memmy in the App Store, or Mlem in a couple days.
Or goto https://m.lemmy.world/ and use the Voyager web app clone of Apollo.
I’ve tried a few iOS apps but keep coming back to Memmy
Memmy’s my go to, but it’s only on iOS currently and OP is on android
https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder for Android and iOS
Is it true that if you download from the GitHub you won’t automatically get updates? Does the app update itself internally?
I’ve heard so much praise for Thunder but I don’t see it in the Google play store or f-droid, and I don’t trust myself to keep it up to date manually.

Thanks a bunch for all that!
Check out Obtanium it automatically notifies you of GitHub APK updates
Oh thanks, I shall.
Tip: try sorting by hot instead of active. Gets better results imho. Also Top 6 hours.
Sort by New. There’s all sorts of weird stuff popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
Hot show me the hottest 4 yeard old posts. Top day and less is the best.
Huh, hot never seems to show me old posts. It’s not something that should be app specific, right?
Hot has been showing me old posts… today only. really weird.
Oh. I haven’t used it much today so I guess I can’t know.
I’ve heard there’s a bug that can cause old posts to show in Hot if your instance admins haven’t restarted Lemmy in a while.
Maybe can be, I’m in a relatively small instance (I think less than 600 users).
This should be long fixed. I think people who have been taking about this recently are in instances that are having trouble helping up with traffic? Definitely not sure
For anyone on iOS mlem is working great for me. Still in a limited testing but I believe they’re ready to release on the App Store soon.
Great! I joined 14 days ago and have been seeing massive growth in content (and what I would consider quality content) in that time. When I stated, things seemed pretty bare and at this point, it’s filling my Reddit craving.

You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I’ve tried so far.
Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.
With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it’s very fluid.
All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.
Good luck on your lemmy journey.
I’m using Jerboa.
Just look at the meme stream in All. How does it look like it’s going? There’s no stopping this train till lemmy.world runs out of disk space. 🤘
Choo choo 🚂
Liftoff is amazing
I second liftoff. Just an overall great UI
I’m a fan of Connect. It goes a good job with the material you design language. Once the Sync for Lemmy is released, I’ll bounce over to that app. Overall, I’ve been very pleased with Lemmy. It doesn’t have the volume of content to the more niche fringes, but it scratches the itch all the same, and I don’t have to feel as gross doing it.
They are all quite good, the clients. :) And now I have to try Voyager I guess…have to know what it looks like!
It’s very similar to Apollo
It’s going fine. There’s enough content to keep me entertained and not rely on Reddit at all.

It is - up to March/2023.
I’ll try to put in some time to test this soon. I really want my account completely wiped out. I did a California data request through the official reddit channels, but they only gave me my data back to 2021.

Man, the reason we searched for xyz reddit, instead of xyz, is because Google is junk now.
Yes but it’s possible to work around that “junkness” without Reddit. At least partially. (I know from blacklisting Reddit from Google results for years.)
Honestly I Google very infrequently with chatgpt available now. Even then I always use duck duck go over Google.
Liftoff is awesome (after cycling through quite a few)!
I second this, from liftoff
