Asking for this here because many reddit refugees from the great third party app purge may not look out of the federation or find apps as easy to find as before.

Expecting there to be a load on f-droid, izzy etc?

I'm using Jerboa from F-Droid (don't have Google Services on my phone)! It's definitely still got a way to go before it catches up to Infinity which is what I used for Reddit but it works well enough!

With the recent projects intended to make it easy to convert Reddit apps into Lemmy ones I imagine that we'll be seeing more options soon!

If I could use my reddit app for Lemmy I'd be stoked, I've been a paid user of Relay for years and Jerboa is just different enough to throw me off balance a little even though it seems like a solid start.

I'm kinda lucky in that I only switched to Infinity a few months ago after using Sync for almost a decade so my brain was kinda primed for the transition!

Yeah im using jebora for my samsung, still getting the hang of the instance stuff though

Another jerboa user. Took me ages to figure out getting remote communities from the server list, not the app!

Jerboa is working fine for me, reasonably similar to Boost. My biggest issue is just how empty this place is, I do hope we see an exodus from Reddit.

Have you found some communities on other instances? If you change your front page to be on All in the filter, you should see lots of activity. You can actually change this to be the default in your settings - at least on the website you can.

I had a look at the Ukraine community, it's still pretty empty. You can set the home feed up to work much like Boost did on Reddit. We really need to get a lot more people on board to make this platform viable, I think.

Looking at the All feed, there are 10+ new posts created in the last 10 mins on other servers. But beware, the default sorting is "Active" which is (I think) posts that people are commenting on. If you want to see new stuff, try "New" or "Hot".
