I think it shows that the great migration from Reddit is actually happening. After the 1st of July, we can expect to see Lemmy growing even more since the changes on Reddit are gonna be in full effect.
Agreed. I imagine the devs and admins here are looking at it as a bit of a deadline of sorts. It’s going to be a big bump in traffic, best to have as much as you can in place.
If you can have useable app out by then, you’ll get a big sudden surge in interest. It’s just a really nice opportunity for an aspiring dev.
I’m really trying, the main thing I miss is the amount of content and the general navigability of reddit. Finding new subs was so easy and lemmy feels harder to just browse imo. I’ve moved to the lemmy RSS and deleted my reddit bookmarks to help keep me from going there out of weakness though.
We’ll see to what degree the migration stays/works. I would be very happy to see some competition in this space.
I think it’s going to be rough for sometime but the numbers seem promising thus far.
Particularly when compared to any other reddit alterative.
It is a bit harder due to fragmentation but it will get better, don’t worry. Also plenty of new upcoming apps.
Replying from connect for Lemmy, that just got approved on the play store. Not sure if it’ll be my endgame app but looks snazzy enough. I look forward to trying a few different ones, and to seeing the general functionality get better around here.
