Hopefully someone else chimes in but I know that there’s one app that allows you to export your Reddit communities here. [Finds Lemmy communities of the same name as the Reddit ones.]
Voyager has this option, but I did not use it, so I don’t know how well it does.
I search for a community and add the one with the most users or most recent posts. If it isn’t active, I find a less broad topic that would encompass that community.
I also spend most of my time on “all” and find active communities that way
i’m a newbie help me understand. what are the benefits of some of these other apps versus the Voyager app I’m currently using?
Mostly personal preference. :)
OP’s site explains some differences. Mostly device based. I personally use Sync and it’s just like Reddit! So, the interface curve was almost zero.
Because the creator simply converted his app “Sync for Reddit” to a Lemmy app when Reddit fucked over all third party apps at the first big exodus
Thanks for that! Had no idea!
Sync is not open source tho, just in case someone cares about that.
thanks I’ll check it out

That’s nice, right?

yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing so far and this place feels a lot more like how I remember Reddit being 10 years ago. which is a good thing
Got’cha!
unfortunately, I got banned, nuked my account, and deleted it all before I came over here. so I’m rebuilding from scratch, but so far so good.
Ouch, sorry to hear that.
all good feels like a clean slate.
