Yep… Bought Sync and Apollo long ago. Moved to Lemmy today. Slowly moving all of my main socials to decentralized/federated platforms because the greedy corpos breaking their own shit.
Ugh. I just don’t understand why Jerboa (name doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue…but that’s neither here nor there)…the biggest frustration (for me) is the wildly different font sizes between looking at the main page and clicking into a discussion. It’s jarring and super annoying.
It’s a known issue that already has a fix that needs to be merged. It’s an unfortunately by product of how the app currently handles images in the comments section.
Surprised at how similar Jerboa looked when I first opened it, but yeah~ going to try and join some communities and hopefully jump ship from reddit completely^^
Same. But I wish it was more straightforward. I’m not convinced the average/occasional user will transition to decentralized platforms if it’s a pain to do so.
Beehaw was super easy. It was literally just your typical sign up process for any website. For me the biggest hurdle initially was just understanding how all of this works, and how they all fit together.
Lemmy is easier to get set up for us folks who aren’t as technical as we used to be. The biggest hurdle for me is for social networks like Twitter or IG where I know people irl who won’t be moving to mastodon probably ever. On Reddit I never made a single friend during the almost 15 years I had an active account.

I would kill for a Sync for Lemmy
Mlem if you have iOS or
Lemmur on Android. There’s many more too (just off the top of my head)Jerboa for Android
Lemmur is actually defunct. The active android app is Jerboa. Available on the play store or F-Droid. !jerboa@lemmy.ml

I didn’t make friends but there were regulars I’d see around, its the smaller communities that feel the best.
Agreed. Those are the ones I’ll miss.
sign up on my instance was very easy! https://sh.itjust.works
Imagine a Sync for lemmy.
