It's incredible that I was on reddit for 13 years or something, daily, maybe I spent 20'000 hours there. Then I dropped after the API fiasco (I'm a SyncPro user) and never went back, I have no clue what's going on since ~July and I don't care and I don't miss it :)

I tried to leave Reddit before but every exodus always had huge DDOS effects on alternatives. Lemmy however has retained a good community after the exodus.

Also the Jerboa app is amazing. Not missing Reddit at all.

I’ve been using an app called voyager for lemmy and have it looking like my old Apollo app. I have no reason to return to Reddit.

Best thing, Voyager's a webapp/website in an app wrapper, and doesn't have more invasive permissions than I'd prefer too. And the interface is sleek af. I unfortunately have to use facebook on firefox mobile as well and that is atrocious. Wild.

Yep. I forget I’m not using Apollo it’s such a good clone.

Same. And did the same with Digg prior to that.

I am also a Digg refugee from the infamous v4 in august/september 2010 !

Never heard of it. I left in 2007 during the infamous AACS key controversy
