Wanted to say it’s pretty cool to see how fast this place has grown in just the past few days and it’s starting to really feel like what Reddit used to be in the good ol days.

    It’s definitely capturing the old electricity. I like it a lot. Finding a good client for using on mobile definitely helps ease the transition, too

      what client? only one I’ve seen so far is that closed/full beta :-(

      currently using a webapp which isn’t terrible but isn’t that great either

        I mean aside from not being able to collapse comments, the webapp is not that bad. Although I confess Jerboa is much much better which is tempting me to switch to lemmy.

            It’s a client for lemmy on Android. You should definitely try it if you are on Android. I loved using Boost for reddit and Jerboa feels closest to it. I would daily drive it if not for kbin.

            At least the web app for kbin works reasonably well. It’s a lot easier to get around on than the Lemmy mobile site.

            I might not 100% grasp how this all works yet, but I signed up for lemmy.world and I’m talking to you here on Memmy. Is kbin not supposed to be connected to other instances?

              It absolutely is connected! I’m replying to you from kbin.social.

              But kbin is different software, and will need a different app to access.

              It’s not that we all can’t talk to eachother, but rather that Memmy has no idea how to login and interact with Kbin, but it DOES know how to login and interact with Lemmy.

              Sharing posts between instances is handled by, well, your instance. It’d be really slow if each user had to share posts with eachother like a Torrent or something :P

          +1 for Memmy!

          I’m also pretty excited for Artemis, which is…ahem…inspired by Apollo (which was my exclusive portal to Reddit since it launched in 2017)
