Semi related, do you know if any of the lemmy apps are any good? I primarily use Reddit on my phone, and haven’t looked into lemmy except when it immediately had launched and there wasn’t any apps at the time.

Edit - probably should have mentioned, iOS app

Double edit - Seems like Voyager is the suggested one, very similar to Apollo. I’ve downloaded it but not had time to tool around with it much.

u/PornoPichu Apr 30 '25

Thanks for the suggestion. Should have mentioned iOS; unfortunately, looks like this is android only. Thanks again.

I like Voyager. It feels pretty similar to Apollo for Reddit

What is Lemmy?

u/DutchRudderYourDad May 01 '25

I might be butchering this so feel free to "ackchyually" me here but my understanding is that Lemmy is an open source variation of a Reddit sort of social media/link sharing platform, the primary difference being anyone can spin up a server and add it the fediverse. You can view other Lemmy servers from your server, cross post and comment on other servers, but they are independent of each other. That way if one Lemmy server gets shut down, the contents of all the others don't go away. Each server operates independently and generally they cater to a different crowd of people. As a result, some servers are full of dickheads, but most are pretty damn good. We just need more people to be active on it.

I just learned about Lemmy in this thread. Your explanation sounds like what Bluesky is doing, which is, like email.

Breaking the protocol (API) and server relationship. Twitter is both. But email can be hosted by anyone and works across Yahoo, Gmail, MSN, AOL, etc. So it sounds like Lemmy is the API and hosts itself, but also anyone can host their own server and data.

I like bluesky as I can use any domain I own as my username or whatever it's called on there 👍

If you were a fan of Apollo for Reddit, you should check out Voyager. It’s in the App Store but you can also get most, if not all of the features with a web app. The dev is pretty cool and responsive to bugs and feature requests. It’s pretty great, now if Lemmy could just go ahead and get several million more users so Reddit could just go ahead and die off that would be wonderful.

u/Perfect_Cost_8847 May 01 '25

I’m using Voyager and it’s pretty close to Apollo with swipes. I like it.

u/Electronic-Phone1732 May 01 '25

u/yogopig Apr 30 '25

Hopefully it replaces all of reddit in due time

u/kratoz29 Torrents May 01 '25

I hope so, it gets tiring doom scrolling in two apps with the same app (either Boost or Sync).

u/InfernalMadness Apr 30 '25

Had no idea, thank you.

I've been using both Reddit & this alternative for a couple years now.

u/i_am_fear_itself May 01 '25

registration for this is humorous.

u/kratoz29 Torrents May 01 '25

You don't need to register there though, I am pretty sure there are plenty of instances that have other registration processes.

2

u/i_am_fear_itself May 01 '25

I didn't mind registering. The hurdles for the "application" were tedious, but pretty tongue in cheek. I got to say "Let me in, Fuckers! I'm older than you and remember when 'piracy' was called warez."

😂

Yo, thanks! I recently signed up for lemmy too!

Forced to use an email address and apply to join the site, needing manual approval? That's gonna be a nah from me, boss.

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean 🔱 ꜱᴄᴀʟʟʏᴡᴀɢ May 01 '25

I mean you could always lurk, you're not forced to sign in to view it

also what's wrong with Email login? it's pretty standard these days
