  • Losing RIF was the final straw, glad it prompted me to switchover.

    • Yeah there were a lot of little things before then. It kind of felt like being in an abusive relationship every time you saw an admin post. Glad you made the switch!

  • I'll be honest, I was using the official app. But when a bunch of people jumped ship, I saw how much cooler the new ship was and jumped with them. And I still like this ship.

  • I use the RIF logo to hide my sketchy apps visually. You just made me realize that I'm 2 years obsolete.

  • Rif?

    • Originally started as Reddit Is Fun, a mobile app for Reddit. Then Reddit launched their own (shittier) app and forced them to change the name. So they went with RIF Is Fun.

    • To add, RiF is so old that it was originally just called "Reddit". It was around long, long before the official mobile app.

  • The weird thing is, I was off reddit for years already. It's only because tech news sites reported on the api changes (and boosted the fediverse) that I made the switch. I was doing fine! I didn't need a new reddit!

    • Nah, actually I did because 4chan was my replacement for the interim (-_-⁠メ⁠)

      Glad you survived.

  • Happy cake day everyone! 😘

    I first joined feddit.de but it was riddled with issues so I switched to lemmy.world after three weeks. Some time later it croaked anyway.

    I still see the day third party apps went offline as the day of my departure and I am happy to see us grow into a friendlier alternative to that shitshow of a website.

  • Hard to believe its been two years, yet in ways it has felt like longer. Feels like a lot of shit has happened in just that short span of time in this little corner of the internet.

  • Still here, still trying to convince people to leave reddit, but some people won't even leave twitter or facebook, so what are you gonna do? Lemmy has taught me to be happy with my beans.

    • You don't look in your neighbor's bowl to see if you have as much beans as them. The only time you should look in your neighbor's bowl is to make sure that they have enough beans.

      • I will happily share my beans, but I guess it's weird to just put beans in your neighbor's bowl without their consent.

  • Dunno about RIF, I've been in threadiverse since Sync for Reddit bit the dust. (Was in Kbin initially.)

    • Sync for Lemmy is ok, but the dev stopped responding about 8 months ago and it's got a bug that makes it completely unusable for many people.

      • Heh, I know. I bought Sync for Reddit originally, and was really conflicted about whether I should buy Sync for Lemmy. Was, like, "what the hell, I'll be supporting the developer."...well I'm glad I never bought the ongoing support things this developer offered! Staunch supporter of open source threadiverse apps these days, as you might imagine.
