    They’ll be back here again in 2-ish weeks when Apollo and RIF are done.

    And when mlem and other apps start rolling out for Lemmy, we’ll start seeing shifts. Apps that have proper accessibility, a clean UI, lack advertising and don’t eat data. And they give you the same Reddit experience without Reddit’s predatory business strategy.

    When the blackouts stop, a lot of users will be able to search for Reddit alternatives and will find Lemmy… through Reddit.

    I mod a sub with 65K users or so, I plan to go dark indefinitely. Also considering Read-Only with a sticky redirecting here. I know I’m not the only mod.

    The Digg > Reddit migration wasn’t overnight. It was fast, though.

        Please keep in mind that Reddit was around for almost 10 years before an App was created.
        I’m sure the developers of Jerboa are working hard for a full & stable release, especially before Reddit’s 3rd Party Kill Date of 6/30/23

        The best option for Android will likely be Tildes App by the ‘Reddit is Fun’ developer. Source. While Tildes is not Lemmy, it does Federate with it and you’ll be able to access Lemmy.ml communities.

        Swipe to Vote app applied for TestFlight approval today for a beta test. I’m not sure if this will be iOS only or have an Android counterpart.

        I’m using the beta for mlem on iOS - but there is no Android version.
