    Wait, you… didn’t know this wasn’t Reddit, despite all the different instance domains in every person’s comment? Do you use some kind of fusion Reddit+Lemmy app or something? This is really interesting to me, how that was even possible to happen.

      I use Relay for Reddit and Summit for the fediverse. I especially picked Summit because it is very similar in look, feel, use and features as Relay, which I already really enjoyed using.

        Huh, ironically, I left Summit partly because I found its search system to be too obtuse and it had some pretty bad account-switching problems as well, even though it sure has a lot of capabilities. Theming the apps helps, though ultimately it boils down to reading the domain names of the instances (and usernames) since I’m always curious about the sources of content. I even set Thunder for Lemmy (which also seems to have a very robust draft system in the event of app crashes) to show “@” in front of usernames and “!” in front of communities to drill it home since that formatting is different from Reddit, so I see it all over the place.

        If FOSS matters to you, consider Slide for Reddit! Otherwise, Relay looks decent… I’m surprised it was able to get past that API restriction drama that Reddit’s leadership imposed…
