I can’t get into calling subs “magazines”. Communities is much better.

Just call them "clips." /s Seriously though, the aesthetic of Kbin is its best feature, but the concept behind the threads seems. I dunno. Weird. Lemmy feels janky and basic, like old Reddit. 💗

Coming off years of old.reddit.com, Lemmy felt like major bloat :) I'm used to it now though, definitely nothing compared to regular Reddit.

And, yeah, the jank is 💗

Just a heads up, https://old.Lemmy.world now exists! (It should feel much better!)

Also, if you used Apollo for Reddit, Voyager (https://vger.app) exists for Lemmy and it feels right at home!

There's also a Voyager frontend hosted on lemmy.world:

m.lemmy.world

Also for Apollo users, the Memmy app is very close!

[–] LucidNightmare@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There is also Arctic by CreatureSurvive being worked on which looks promising. I just want my Apollo experience again. 😭

Old Lemmy is the best thing I've seen in a while. I found it last week, and it's absolutely cured my Reddit cravings.

Also for Apollo users… wefwef. I added the web app to my Home Screen and it feels like nothings changed.

[–] Badoker@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wefwef and Voyager are the same app, they renamed it.

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yeh! And now you mention it, I remember that naming conversation. Well now I feel silly.
