Being a day one Apollo user the friction of using the official app or mobile browser version of Reddit is high enough to make it basically impossible unless I WANTED to force myself, and I don’t. July 1st Mlem will go where Apollo currently sits in my app drawer. As it is I really only go on Reddit to watch the place burning. I have nearly 200 comments here on lemmy in just a few days, it’s replacing Reddit just fine so far. Yes we’re missing a lot of niches but we’ll get there.

I don’t think an unmodified Reddit app would be able to effectively browse the fediverse no matter how good a translation API is, but it could mean a lot LESS work for an app designer making a lemmy app.
