Definitely a learning curve but WefWef has solved a lot of my initial issues. Also seems like a lot less obvious bots and garbage than Reddit, which was getting pretty bad.
But so far I’m glad to be on something decentralized and excited to see what this looks like a year from now.
I just posted this in another unrelated thread, but relevant here as well: https://wefwef.app was the key for me. It's nearly EXACTLY like Apollo. Installed on my Home Screen and put where the Apollo icon was. (Apollo moved to a special folder to commemorate its memory.) You guys, I've got to be honest, I didn't think Lemmy was going to work out for me, but with wefwef, I don't feel like I'm missing a beat. Looking forward to Lemmy and the fediverse continuing to grow!
No affiliation with wefwef, just hoping other Apollo users who came from Reddit can find this because it's honestly helped to heal the hole left by Apollo.
