I have just read about it in a different comment as well, tried it and it does feel a bit like coming home. Thank you for recommending it to me as well, it’s wonderful to see that it gets easier and easier to take part here!

Tried “Memmy” before and right now I like Thunder a bit more. The UI looks cleaner to me, it works well. Good job, I have put it on my phone where I used to have Apollo.
That is one of the worst comparisons I have ever heard. So no.
Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I hope we get a filter for specific words in posts soon. It feels like every time I open Lemmy I see several posts about Reddit. People are obsessed as if Reddit is an ex girlfriend they just can’t get out of their mind.
So far this isn’t possible, if I am not mistaken, but it surely might be a useful tool for customising the experience here for the future.
Welcome buddy! Hopefully many more will do the same.
What could help fighting the impression you have is subscribing to many communities that are interesting to you. Then turn your settings on “subscribed-new”. That should give you plenty of new content. If you need more, check “local-new” and if that also is not enough take “all-new”. This way you will have so much content that it will be like a waterfall and you are right under it.

Of course the right wing prepper nutjob goes full authoritian on this and just replace people who are against his policies. People can’t move over from Reddit soon enough.

I think in the end the most important things will be a good UI, a clean and inviting look, maybe easy-to-understand guides and of course lots of great content. As soon as all of this exists, then the mainstream will have it easier to use Lemmy. An easy, flawless experience goes a long way and taking away any obstacle to get active here will help on the long run.
What I do is that I usually have my “frontpage” on subscribed-new. This way there is often new content that I find interesting. If I still want more, I check on “local” or “all” also on new and then I can enjoy standing under the waterfall of content. It’s fun going about it this way.
Yeah, it’s embarrassing how shortsighted these people are. Reddit will be an absolute mess riddled with ads in the near future, especially when they force mobile browser users into the app and I would not put it past Spez to disallow adblockers being used on their website as well. Then you get spammed with ads unless you buy Reddit premium, which surely will rise in price as well. And then it will be too late to protest. So silly to not see the direction that reddit is taking and to complain about protests now.
I have witnessed these bad responses on different soccer-related threads as well. They all behave like junkies who really need their fix of reddit desperately that they get toxic against those who protest and dare to take their precious fix away. A bunch of “no one cares, trust me bro”-responses, mods get attacked for having too much power. It’s sad really how addicted they are to reddit. I personally hope most, if not all the subs that went dark will do so indefinitely. Might be good for the mental health of those who are dramatically addicted as well.
There is a feature called “block community”, but so far it seems like it doesn’t really work cause when I click on it, nothing happens. Blocking users works, though. So maybe only a matter of time to block instances/communities?
Welcome buddy, hope you gonna feel alive here, poet!
I will miss /reddevils cause it’s fun to see fans of your club interact on a daily basis. Same goes probably for all the wholesome subs, all the cute dog-content cause it was a good feeling to have positive outlets to come to and just have a few “aww”-moments.
Of course these performance issues are a bit annoying, but I gotta say that I love these updates and explanations here. Great communication, keep it up, please!
