This is exactly when and why I stopped using Reddit permanently and switched to Lemmy. If you run out of "Active" content here, try switching to "Hot". And then "New"!

Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.

Shutout to Thunder, another great client.

Oh man I'm still not over that. Such a stupid decision on Reddit's part.

Hey, at least it brought us here. And now that Lemm.ee is going away I'm doing this whole thing again.

didn't all 3rd party apps stop working

[–] tfowinder@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

RIF still works with some twaks, you need to patch it with an API key similar to youtube vanced and then it works. though some people report the method stopped working recently. Any way its a lost cause.

I still have rif on my phone for it's sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

For much of reddit's best years, RiF was my top app.

[–] Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wasn't RIF fir me, it was Apollo. But same general reason!

Some niche communities I miss (I know, I know. Make them! I'm a follower not a leader, and my schedule is bad enough already. I have substitutes). But overall Lemmy good.

I'm here for news and shitposts and random TILs.

Fuck Spez!

I told reddit I wouldn't be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn't deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

Did anyone leave because they were banned? Because that was me.

i left july 3rd

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 18 points 2 days ago

Cheers y'all.

Hopped over to Lemmy around that time and learned about the Fediverse. And now I'm checking out PieFed.

What a ride it's been.
