Its so nice being on a platform where the first 1000 comments on every post aren't just low effort jokes.

I haven’t even considered this. Most users on Reddit are lurkers. It doesn’t take many of us to make new communities worth visiting
Former lurker checking in, trying to take this new start on Lemmy as a way to participate more and hopefully contribute a bit, I wonder how many will do the same coming from reddit.
I am! Mostly lurked because by the time I got to threads they were already too popular and were flooded with hundreds of comments.

Absolutely. Currently a lot of places here feel how Reddit used to be when I joined up. I quite like it.
Coming to a comment thread to reply "this" feels so cheugy. When I think of the heydey of reddit, I think of 2011 in my dorm room doing the grow a college subreddit. And here we are twelve years later and the best experience you can get now is exactly that same experience.
A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn't like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was "too long." It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?
The fuck does cheugy mean?

Yeah lve been a lurker for over 10 years over there and I was sick of all the karma whoring, the low quality posts and especially the pun threads that would bend my face with cringe. Hopefully we can get things right on the Lemmy-verse

Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.
Found wefwef today and love it.
I was kind of bummed when I realized it wasn’t a native app, but so far it’s been working great regardless.
I’ve added it to my Home Screen and to be honest I can barely tell it’s not a native app. It’s shockingly well put together so far.
the native site added as an app isn't half bad either, it works in a very similar way but it just has some UI niggles

Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.

Which apps are doing this by the way?
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might've actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn't originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Wefwef is absolutely nuts as a PWA, was looking forward to Sync for Lemmy but as a former heavy iOS user this is so cool!

Boost is the one I'm looking forward to the most. Highly customizable and highly streamlined
Boost is a legitimately perfect app for the format IMO. I'm so so so glad it's coming over

In addition to the others mentioned, someone is making an unofficial port of Slide.
Developer of RedReader also said they want to eventually support Lemmy and perhaps tildes and hacker news, even though RedReader got an exemption from the api fees for now. But as a "long-term vision", so probably not immediately.

Please RIF, become a fediverse app!
Sadly, it's going to become a Tildes app apparently.
Don't despair though, you can get fairly close with the Connect app with a few settings changes already.

Sync has announced that they are developing for Lemmy and I am so down for it.
Sync is a remarkably well made app, I was delighted to see that announcement

I gotta admit that I'm a bit disappointed with the owner of Relay for Reddit as he decided to stay and turn it into a subscription model. He might have attached his cart to the wrong horse. That's what I want to believe anyway.
It's probably hard to give up entirely on an app you've been working on for so long.
Won't all nsfw content be invisible to third-party apps?
So people aren't paying to keep reddit alive, they're paying to have some advertiser friendly, bot-ridden husk of reddit available outside the official app.
Those outsized API fees don't even get you the original reddit experience, it's disgusting.
I don't blame the dev, but I also don't understand his decision.

I begged the boost dev to make a Lemmy app, I sent him several DMs and made a post about it
I like to think I contributed to his decision

Which apps are specifically turning into fediverse apps? Very curious.
Sync and Boost officially are.
Infinity for Everything (Fediverse) is on GitHub.
wefwef and Memmy are starting to feel like Apollo already.
Connect seems to be inching closer to Relay with each update, and Jerboa gives off RiF vibes.
People need to post about this on reddit more to perhaps encourage the other devs to do the same; might've actually worked for Boost cuz the dev didn't originally plan to port it to Lemmy it seems
Jerboa is crashing for me on start, which isn't a great sign. I just want Boost already!

I've been test driving android apps for lemmy for hours now and it's been fun but I'd love to see one with a RIF UX. Any chance we can convince Andy to develop RIF for lemmy?
