Node list and statistics for The Federation and Fediverse

On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.

    It’s just another third party app. But it has made the transition from a reddit app to a lemmy app.

    Anything was better than reddit official app which was garbage. I preferred Relay. But for people used to sync, it is familiar and a smooth experience here like they were used to there.

    For lemmy I prefer Jerboa an open source app, but sync is free to try as well (although it had ads).

      Thanks, so it seems like those apps that were going to be charged for the API have a place to transition to. Nice!

        Yeah, it’s actually a really positive outcome because people really liked the app so they are willing to try something new.

        Exactly. The other end of it is that a lot of the app-specific advanced functionality made the transition for Day 1 - unless Infinity/else has some tricks i’m unaware of, its currently the most customizable/feature complete app - actual tablet modes, foldable support, biometrics for subaccounts, user painting/tagging for sub accounts, profile backups so you can carry customizations to other android devices - etc.

        Its all auxiliary & definitely not required, but losing these features made Lemmy a no-go on mobile for me. It’s also missing some real basic stuff like mod tools & the ability to make posts at all, but i’ve used the app for a decade & the dev is quickly pushing fixes/new features out the door.
