Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

    Yeah, if you checkout the Github, one of the first lines on the README is:

    Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won’t have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

    So I doubt the app experience is going to improve much anytime soon unless other people decide they want to take up the mantle (or create alternative apps entirely).

      Yea, that’s why I said it needs developers to contribute to it badly. I understand that the developer has basically abandoned it.

      There was an update yesterday. Some people are contributing to it, which is good. Hopefully more come, and the app really gets an overhaul before July 1st. I think having a decent app is key to keeping people here, especially if people are migrating because of apps.
