I was told there would be an omelet bar for Reddit refugees.
Thank you for the kind greeting. I really am a refugee in more ways than just leaving Reddit.

To all my Apollo refugees that are struggling with the interface. wefwef.app is basically a clone of Apollo for this site. The name is shity but it works great!
By "this site" you mean Lemmy, I take it? Kbin apps are all still in early testing stages, as far as I'm aware.

What Apps are people using? Wefwef?
Running Connect for Lemmy here on Android. It seems nice and minimalist. I was a little dissuaded from trying Jerboa with some of the negative reviews.

Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!

What's fediverse?
It's the collection of various softwares/sites/platforms that are all able to interact due to operating on the same underlying technology.
Lemmy is part of the Fediverse. Mastodon is also and users there can follow and post in Lemmy communities despite being a totally different thing. Kbin is another Reddit-like, it and Lemmy coexist pretty seamlessly.
And there are so so many more. Fediverse alternatives to FB, Insta, YT, Linktree, etc etc etc.
You'll also hear "Threadiverse" which is what people have taken to calling that part of the Fediverse that focuses on forum thread type discussions (ie Lemmy and Kbin mainly).
Thanks for the explanation. How connected are the platforms? As a new Lemmy user, if I search for a particular community to join, am I seeing the same content that someone from Mastodon would? Or is it more that Lemmy is capable of reading Mastodon content but we're not sharing the same content by default?
I'm finding it a little hard to find the words to even ask this question haha, I'm still a little confused. This all looks nice so far though!

Honestly seeing all the corpos ruining the platforms that are what they are because millions of people contributed to them. Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. give so much power to their owners yet they don't realize it past their next dollar. I think internet should have always been a fediverse instead of what it has become.
I remember surfing chans back in the day. I've missed it, but life gets busy. I hated reddit for a long told, but it had so much good information on there and such good third party apps that I caved and it became my favorite thing to do while shitting. I just found out about Lemmy and it feels like I slipped on an old broken-in glove. Thanks for the welcome. After the toxicity of reddit, this is nice.
