It has been far from a stalemate. Reddit has won this battle, but the war is not over.

Saying that as someone been dedicating full-time since September to a project to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy [0], the truth is that there is simply no alternative yet for all the niche communities that are established there.

About a month ago, I posted here [1] about my project to try to make it easier to sign up and automatically discover/subscribe the Lemmy communities [2], but I wasn't expecting to have such a long tail of communities that need to be mapped out. The ~150 users that signed up to alien.top led to a discovery of about 6000 different subreddits.

I was doing the work of curation and creating alternative communities by hand, but I realized that was going to be an endless task. This is why I started working on a crowdsourced solution [3], which I launched last Friday

  2 587 9.7 Swift

  A beautiful and native Reddit client for iOS (by lo-cafe)

  

On iOS, especially iPad, try:

- Narwhal 2: https://narwhal.app/

Of course, you pay the API costs. But this is pro work, countless UX details thoughtfully made.

- Winston: https://winston.cafe/

- Winston on GitHub: https://github.com/lo-cafe/winston

In TestFlight Beta, OK on iPhone but awkward on iPad unless full screen; layout is jumbled mess in stage manager windows.
