Honestly, its already a good amount of content. People reply, people upvote, people post interesting articles. Its filling the void for me already.
I love exploring all the communities. It's been a fun ride so far and a super positive experience!
Holy shit, are you really u/PoppinKREAM? If so, it's an honor, sir.
You better not be fooling me.
Feel free to check out my comment history to compare. Not sure how else to prove it, sorry :S
This is what reddit doesn't get when they say it's only a small fraction of users who left.
Redditors aren't created equally. The vast majority lurk and maybe don't even upvote.
You put in more work than a lot of professional journalists, and provided the content for free
WOW. amazing.
This really feels like old reddit. The glory days.
Glad you're here, a devastating blow to reddit if this is where you live now! Welcome!
Totally agree. I stopped using Apollo 2 weeks ago to get myself adjusted early but felt like there was something missing each day.
Using Lemmy right now really feels like that void has now been filled.
If you used Apollo before, I think you should definitely try WefWef app in browser (wefwef.app zite), it is incredible!
Cheers. I’ve placed it where Apollo used to be on my homepage. Its almost indistinguishable.
Yeah, wefwef is really cool.
