I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! 🍻

Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc....

…but I don’t want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it’d feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.

Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

Text of the webpage:...

I want to hear from my fellow RIF users.

Just created an account here, first post, first community to subscribe to.

After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it’s time for me to move on. So far I’ve used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:...

One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I’d lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also...

Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives...

Was still using it logged out for NSFW subreddits but they’ve finally blocked access via RiF. I guess I have a problem, had to browse certain subs every day, but you know what this may be cathartic. Now I have no reason to go to Reddit and will save myself some time. I also deleted my main account so can’t discuss anything...

I never really cared about upvotes and downvotes, but I liked that my comments and participation meant something to someone at one time or another. I liked that when I posted a comment or asked a question people could look through my post history to learn more about me and answer accordingly. More than anything I miss my saved...

I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like “can I have a reddit, mom?” - “we have reddit at home” Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it’s a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn’t sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized...

It’s working like normal. I’m guessing it won’t work for long.

Hard to break old habits, I kept accidently opening the RiF app. And so long as I’m not logged in I can browse reddit. Is this the case for anyone else? And do we know why?

I ran a NSFW subreddit that had ~150k people before I took it private. I’m pretty well into fully switching to Lemmy at this point and I haven’t been back over there since....

As a 12 yr Reddit lurker, Geddit fits all my needs. It sidesteps the api using rss feeds and other technical stuff I don’t know about. You can view posts and comments. Favorite subreddits. But can’t post/comment/vote. I’m trying my hand at engaging more on lemmy, but for more content, Geddit is perfect for me....

I chose this username a couple of weeks ago so that in five years I will post something random on Lemmy and look back realizing I haven’t thought about Reddit in a while…

That’s the endgame we’ve been warning about.
