I tried all the clients that are out there and no matter good they felt alien as I was accustomed to using Boost on Reddit. Now that the lemmy client has come, it’s like I’m using reddit now. The only thing that bugs me is most communities didn’t move from reddit and I’d have to continue using the official shitty app to engage with them.

Also I wanna know whether this one time payment would be all to access all the features or does the dev intend to go the sync route and offer something like ultra tier?

    I agree with the other comments that stated that you should be the change you want to see in the world…

    Lemmy does need a lil bit more content now. Engage with the users. Create posts and create comments. This is the future bro. A platform hosted by the users, for the users. You are not buying a yacht for anyone by using lemmy. On reddit however… You use reddit and someone else gets to buy a new house…

      Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

      e.g. I’m a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda…died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

      Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

      We building this shit up.

      My biggest disappointment on Lemmy is the lack of sports here. But I have started to just post myself in those communities and contribute.

      As the saying goes… Rome wasn’t built in a day.

    The only thing that bugs me is most communities didn’t move from reddit […]

    Be the change you want to see in the world. Try to start one of those communities over here. Don’t be disappointed when it doesn’t get traction within a few days. There are some places to advertise new communities here.

      I second this. I barely know fuck all about Lemmy, and I still manage to have small community. They kinda just manage themselves, but I’m there too.

      That’s what I had thought but there are some niche things I’m into and most other people who are into the same, neither have the time nor do they wanna put any efforts into learning something new, heck many wouldn’t even know that lemmy exists or there were other clients you could use to access reddit. So I’ll have to stick with it.

      Also this whole fediverse and instances thing is a bit too complex to wrap head around for people who aren’t geeky and just wanna get things done.

    You can still use the old Boost for Reddit app. You just have to be a mod. If you’re not yet a mod you can just create a new subreddit and set it to private. You can also spoof the client with the Revanced app.

      Yup because a lot of people that joined after reddit api changes have left it and not many people are joining lately, so the instance owners have built the capacity to handle the active users.
