    It automatically downloaded today while I was driving home. Been on it for about 5 minutes and it’s already better than liftoff.

    I love liftoff… but this app is better in quite a lot of ways.

    Hell I can search for a specific community and get results. Liftoff wouldn’t do that for me.

    Good times.

    Paid for the app btw.

      Wait, you can do that? What comes over? Custom keyword blocks and such? I left my old version installed in hopes I could export/import but thought that might be left out…

    The app seems really smooth so far but unfortunately, Lemmy is dying. Outside of a few active subs, most are ghost towns that haven’t had new posts in weeks.

      As someone who’s been on Lemmy for years, this comment is hilarious.

      Lemmy used to have like one post a day. In fact I remember days where 24 hours would go by and there were literally no new posts. It’s now 1% the size of Reddit. It has a longggg way to go before it’s dying again.

      Not really dying so much as those communities never took off since they didn’t have enough users. The communities that did take off are doing ok.

      The other ones need time to grow

      Lemmy’s sorting is really weird. When sorting content by Hot, I’ve found a bunch of dead posts with no comments. But when switching to Active I get a bunch of posts filled with comments, but they tend to be a bit older so it can get stale seeing the same posts even if there are new comments.

      There’s no algorithm here pushing stuff to the top so you’re kind of on your own curating communities to get your home page not completely dead.

        I’m not referring to the main page, I’m talking about entire subs. If you want to talk politics, sure, there’s some activity there. Want to talk about your local sports teams or something more specialized? You’re out of luck.

          Its because the subjects that migrated better to lemmy are tech or tech adjacent communities, as these people are more willing to jump ship to another platform than less technicly inclined communities are.

          I see it as less of a specilization and more about the userbase.

          Its why you get communities like linux, gaming, tech, android, apple, hell even piracy doing well in lemmy because they all kinda have one thing in common, a statistically higher chance they are into tech. The more casual a community, the less likely they are willing to make the plunge onto lemmy.
