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.

Might want to give the Orion browser a whirl. It has some support for extensions to make the web less enshittified. I just came across it a week ago and I’ve been quite impressed.

Firefox mobile isn't atrocious, Facebook's support for mobile website is. Also, I'm sure Orion is a great browser but it touting itself for the dark web and having a 3.5 rating on the play store didn't particularly inspire confidence for me.

Ah, I use it in iOS because even Firefox doesn’t support its own extensions. Seems better than any other browser in iOS that I’ve tried. But on Android I’d probably go with Firefox.

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

I used sync for reddit pro when they announced they were moving to Lemmy. I was looking for a reddit alternative with the API stuff. Now I'm here with the UI I knew and loved, though I wish my pro account transfered over.
