Speaking of 3rd party apps, here’s a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I’m testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I’m testing Jerboa. What’s everyone’s favorite app so far?

I don’t like tone indicators, but they’re meant to help, among others, autistic people who have a hard time understanding tones
Came here to say this.
Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.
It’s just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.
Life is change. It’s always good to be reminded of that by the relatively non-important things.
I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.
Change keeps your brain young
There seems to be a big difference between browsing /all this morning and from when I first made an account. People seem to be motivated to add content which is making Lemmy punch above its weight at the moment. The Shit per User (SPU) index is pretty high at the moment.
SPU… fuckin’ a that’s a good one. I’m trying to help push up the average the best I can.
Lol, with 19 days in you are actually one of the lemmy grampas . :)
This doesn’t appear to be correct, it should be labelled total comments, by day, not per day. You can see the total number of comments on https://the-federation.info/platform/73.
The top two instances, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml have a total number of comments of 156331 and 188364.
Per day comments on lemmy.world averages between 6,000 - 10,000.

I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.
Try wefwef.app
Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.
I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.
I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.

Not commenter, but I’m going to barge in - I literally went and touched grass. A week away from social media and reduced computer time. By the time I returned, the Lemmyverse was popping off.
I’m done with Reddit. I can’t support their behaviour so I’m moving on. I’m currently using Jerboa, and testing Liftoff and Thunder. All three are good, but Liftoff is my preference so far, just waiting for a few issues to be sorted which is happening over time. I’m interested to see what Sync does for Lemmy, as that was my go to Reddit app.
I’m using Mlem on iOS right now, seems pretty solid for the most part. I haven’t tried others yet, but now I will! Thanks!
Edit: follow up- wefwef feels super slick, very Apollo like, has local docker hosting option!
I’m tag-teaming Mlem and Memmy right now. Mlem is buggier and a little less feature-complete, but it feels nicer to use.
I’ve settled my focus on Memmy with some periodic checks on Mlem. I’m a sucker to try as many new Lemmy apps as I can but Memmy is where I spend my time. The development pace is amazing.

I believe mlem has been abandoned. I think I saw a post from the dev.
The original dev has transferred leadership to someone else, but development is still active. A new release came out today, actually.
I’m a bit dubious about this stat; it feels similar to the User’s stat being over run by bots.
Lemmy has about 50,000 users, similar to Kbin, but it’s users are commenting 120 times and also posting 16 times each a day on average? That seems unrealistic.
For comparison, Kbin (which actually has a slightly larger active user base) is produced about 100,000 comments a day, which is about 2 comments a day and about 0.6 posts per user per day. Interestingly Kbin’s total users and active users are almost identical.
The threadiverse is certainly doing well, but I think the Lemmy stats continue to be skewed away from reality. I’m wondering if this is not actually all to do with bots, but some fundamental error in the counting/collection? Are the same comments and posts and maybe even the total user count in Lemmy being counted multiple times in the data fed back by the different servers?

I’m using Memmy right now. All the Apollo users should fully migrate when it’s down.
Memmy is almost feature complete. wefwef.app if you don‘t want to install an app or don‘t have a testflight ticket.
For android I was using Jerboa but switched to Liftoff and am liking it so far.
I’m having trouble clicking on some of the links on Liftoff which I have no issues with on Jerboa but it’s still early stages so keeping my options open.
I like Liftoff, but have issues with duplicate posts, blocking communities, and something like ‘you aren’t logged into X, login to comment’ when I am actually logged in. Liftoff and Jerboa both get better with each release though, and the releases are fast.
I use wefwef.app, it’s not an app but a website specialized for iOS. It feels like Apollo.
I still use Infinity for reddit from time to time. But these days I spent most of my online time with Jerboa. I had tried the offcial Reddit app and it’s basically unusable on my phone.
What’s crazy is this is only tracking comment traffic. The real unique traffic should be an order of magnitude higher, at least.

Really hoping they can get the version incompatibility and stability issues worked out. Most users are going to want to use a mobile app they can just get on the play store/app store and currently Jerboa is still experiencing a lot of crashes and weird glitchiness. I tried Thunder too, but it also crashes randomly, but at least it lets you log into whatever instance you want, unlike Jerboa 0.0.35+
