Lemmy is cool. I’ve been using it on and off since reddit started making their API changes.
X, formerly known as Twitter, is one of the largest social media platforms. To not report on a change like this that injects ads that you’d see on “news” websites with clickbaity articles would be silly.
Seconding Thunder as it is the only Android app I’ve found that I like the design of and doesn’t lag whenever scrolling through loads of image posts.

A point I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the lack of an accessible Automoderator equivalent on Lemmy. Moderators of larger subreddits use it to implement spam filters, remove commonly asked questions, handle multiple reports and sticky important information to the tops of comment sections. Not having a feature like that built into Lemmy can be a dealbreaker for those moderators.
Just an FYI but if you posted anything prior to March 2023, the Pushshift project archived it. Even if you requested Reddit itself to remove all of your data, everything will exist in that archive forever.
