Same. The fact that Lemmy has several iOS apps also sealed the deal, as I do almost all my browsing on mobile. I made an account on KBin at the same time, and an eagerly watching both to see how they develop, but Lemmy just has more to offer right now.

I’m a bit confused. The new season is 8, but people keep referring to it as 11. Even news articles will put 11 in the title, but will refer to it as 8 in the body of the article. Is this some kind of in-joke I missed? There definitely aren’t seasons 9 or 10…

That’s a good point! I admit I avoided sorting by “new” on Reddit just because of the sheer amount of garbage that was posted, especially in popular subreddits. But this is a whole new community and that’s definitely less of a problem. I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

That’s awesome. It actually just looks like a completely blank post to me (using Mlem on iPhone), but I assume that’s just because there’s a lot of bugs left to iron out, and features to implement. Excited to see these apps after a few more months.

The first and last points are hitting me so hard right now, even just one day after Apollo’s demise. Being able to scrub through a video or GIF was so incredibly useful. You could pause it by holding your finger still, then move back and forth by swiping left or right, even frame by frame if you wanted. I miss that more than I thought I would.

Also, hiding posts I’ve already seen (or scrolled past) was another lifesaver. One thing I notice on Lemmy (I’m simultaneously testing Mlem, Memmy and wefwef) is that I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Every few hours I open an app to my home page, and scroll through the same few dozen posts that are popular that day, only seeing something new between every five or six familiar posts. Apollo never showed me the same post twice unless I specifically bookmarked it. Much less wasted time.
