Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I’ve been using Memmy for a while and am thinking of switching to something else. It’s still a bit unpolished and buggy. It’s solid as a lemmy app but I suspect there are better things out there like sync.

Voyager’s new app is great and extremely solid. Avelon and Bean are great, but they might be iOS only - not sure.

Bean requires a subscription or a pricey lifetime purchase for full features, like Sync for Android, but it’s very smooth and polished and it has community grouping.

Avelon’s community browser is 🤌.

Lots of great devs still coming through with new apps for Lemmy.

I experimented with a bunch of Lemmy clients and came to the conclusion that Bean is the best app for me. Thunder comes second, Voyager second, Lifoff third and so on.

Memmy, Lemmios and Mlem still need so much work that I was surprised to find that some people find any of those apps adequate. Apparently personal preferences and needs play a significant role here.

The only things holding me back from buying Bean are lack of customizable gestures and the inability to jump to comments from my profile. Avelon has both of those, but it lacks community grouping. Bean is just a bit more polished otherwise, and I like Bean’s larger post titles and formatting in general. I love the toe beans icons also. Keeping an eye on it for those additions.

Everyone has slightly different needs and preferences, and I totally understand why you need those things. They aren’t really a deal breaker for me, since I also have Thunder so that I can do certain things more easily. At the moment there’s no single app that can do it all. Instead, you need to use two apps to do everything you want.
