I think the ONLY useful way to use it is how I do, which is just every couple of years to track how my own views and beliefs have changed throughout me aging (still just for fun/personal interest!). It’s not perfect but it can at least measure the change in a single person. To nobodies surprise I started bottom left, close to centre 10 years ago, and now I’m significantly closer to the bottom left corner

Years ago I got into the habit of simply upvoting literally everything I read or interacted with on reddit to hide it (hide on upvote turned on), then thankfully apollo came along. I still retain that habit though

Be sure to open and zoom in for extra sea captainness

I now right! Cool little detail

Yeah it’s not gonna be easy, but honestly I do see potential in mlem and I think with some basic additions, it can get itself closer to that Apollo experience. Which of course is what all apps should aspire to

This is true, and an important thing for me. If I browsed specific subs, I’d definitely be able to see the difference. But I used reddit for just browsing the popular/cool topics of the day. I did subscribe to subs but rarely specifically entered one and browsed its content. I basically just blocked subs I didn’t want and did it that way, so Lemmy isn’t that different for me

Ah, so Bing will only let you go so far with the AI, which is 30 messages, up from 20. This is really just to stop things going too far I believe, as the tech really is nuts. It’ll also often catch itself getting too lewd or whatever and cut itself off. Bing AI is way more “out there” than some others

You’re welcome! He’s my discord pfp :)

I ran a tiny subreddit dedicated to my favourite author, Bill Bryson. That’s gone forever. I used Apollo.

10 year reddit user and day 1 Pro/Ultra Apollo user. Lifetime ultra was the best value for money I’ve ever spent, seriously. I tipped Christian £10 as a final thanks and… that’s basically it. I did the same, mlem now stands where Apollo did.

Also, mlem does a decent job at not feeling too foreign compared to Apollo. Sure, the content of Lemmy isn’t close to reddit, and apollo really was/is king, but I browsed /r/all on reddit and browsing /c/all on mlem isn’t all that bad

Also just reiterating the thanks. I know nothing about coding or servers or running a forum, or even enough to know what questions to ask. But I do comment a lot, enjoy contributing, and upvote basically everything, so that I shall do!

I’m quite enjoying it so far! mlem is surprisingly great

I’m in the same boat. All my Apollo browsing time has been spent on learning this. I basically just tipped Christian £10 then checked out. mlem for iOS is surprisingly good, I feel pretty at home on it, at least for basic scroll browsing

I recommend mlem! 10 year reddit user and daily Apollo user, this isn’t feeling as foreign as I’d imagined. It helps that I browse /r/all like a madman, so browsing /c/all here isn’t actually that different

To be honest I’ve settled into using mlem on my phone surprisingly well from Apollo. Obviously I’d rather not have to change at all but if Apollo goes, I’m gone.

10 year reddit user and Apollo refugee. I’ve just downloaded mlem and I’m thinking… alright! This ain’t too bad! Reddit is fucking up. If I can venture elsewhere after daily use, anyone can. And should.

Damn, #3 is cool as shit

It actually stems from high school, long before IASIP. And not even necessarily to do with wacky races either. Of course years later watching the show, I loved it when I heard it

I’ve posted a pup pic in a photography… place. I think in a different instance (?), couldn’t find one here in this instance but that might have changed
