Flip a coin, pick an instance. Are you:

Building momentuum

  • Jumpstart your subscription list using https://redditmigration.com
  • Try commenting or posting. Just try it! Many people who stopped engaging on reddit find the community more rewarding here.
  • Try sticking with Lemmy / Kbin for a few days. Until your fingers learn to get their fix a new way, and you get your subscription list built up a bit.

What next?

Many people are happy at this point… but what to do if you want to help the switch to fediverse but you’re still jonesing for reddit after a few days? A few ideas….

  • Its OK! Reddit simply has more volume and a bigger stack of communities as of Jun 30, 2023. Its /probably/ (?) not going to disappear overnight. Its not an either/or, you can use lemmy / kbin more and more over time.
  • Start your internet browsing time on lemmy / kbin first. If you’re “still hungry”, supplement with reddit.
  • Consider instituting a “read only reddit” policy: no posts, comments, or upvotes. Its MUCH easier to stop adding to Reddit than it is to quit cold turkey. If you don’t like reddit’s behavior, this is a good way to collectively switch momentum toward the fediverse without making big personal sacrifices.

    I’ve been using wefwef for a bit and just installed memmy. IMHO wefwef has the potential to be great. Memmy is great already - super polished.

      Tried downloading the testflight of memmy, but it’s asking for a code. I searched the github but didn’t find one =/

        I think it’s iOS only. I migrated from Apollo. Looks like there a bunch of cool Android clients coming out soon though.

        For Android you can try Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder

        Or the official Jerboa app.

        I just installed Thunder yesterday so I’m still testing it and so far I’m liking it.

        I come from using Infinity for Reddit and for now there isn’t an app that is similar, but there are 3 apps under development, 2 of them based on Infinity’s appearance and a fork of Infinity (called Infinity for everything).

          personally running Liftoff right now on Android, waiting for Sync/Artemis/Boost as they seem great (sync in particular 🥲)
