I loved RIF and was addicted to Reddit. But they dumped me and I am scorned and will never forgive reddit! Fuck reddit and I hope it dies.
Same same !
When reddit announced that they were going public I knew the end was nigh. Money corrupts everything. What made reddit cool was the users and reddit just wanted to suck that dry. I was happy to leave but I pretty much just lurked on Reddit so it wasn’t that hard.
Shit, it’s been 2 years already? Damn. I still get bummed over RiF when I think about it.
It could have been a top Lemmy app if open sourced…
Man two years, feels so much shorter
2000s were only 5 years ago
And the nineties 15 years ago.
It’s been 2 years already?!
Exactly !!
Miss RIF so much.
We should make our own RIF
Would have to start from scratch as RIF was not open source and now abandoned as far as I know.
I still use RIF
Revanced ftw. Although some things stopped working, /r/random stopped working
obligatory fuck spez and the corpos
Yes. I never used RIF. I’m simply concerned about who controls my media.
Yep that’s me. RIF was so good. Why would a website cannibalize itself like this?
$$$
Boost was taken away for Reddit and swiftly given back to me for Lemmy. Bless the Boost devs and Lemmy hosts for saving me from the official Reddit experience 🤢
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”!
Or just go outside and touch grass. Running out of content means that you should do something else.
What to do if I already touched all my grass
What comes after new?
Then it is either time for bed, or lemnynsfw/yiffit
You start posting.
New 2.0
I was one of those RIF users that left two years ago and now I have to start over since lemm.ee is shutting down. Can anyone recommend a good instance?
I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.
Seconded. It’s pretty chill here.
That was definitely one of the instances on my list to move to! Thanks for the recommendation!
its great here
I moved to sopuli.xyz, which is also run from the Baltics (Finland).
Meh
sopuli and sh.itjust.works as others mentioned are good. I wanted to add a shout-out for discuss.online for anyone in the USA with fantastic uptime stats.
Also I’m a huge fan of PieFed, well worth checking out.:-)
Piefed was on my list as well. I’ll look into discuss.online, thanks for the suggestion!
Just curious, why people avoid lemmy.ml i joined this beliveing its run by the lemmy devs so should be safest.
The whole Tankie thing. Just like MAGAts but on the other side. They’re authoritarian left with lots of Chinese and possibly Russian influence. Far left most of us support are on the opposite end of the authoritarian/individualistic axis from both Tankies and MAGAts.
Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.
For much of reddit’s best years, RiF was my top app.
I still miss rif 😭
I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.
This method stopped working for me 2 months ago. Something to do with headers (browser-agent), but didn’t bother fixing
Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.
All of it. Failed to load any content from reddit.
Likely related to this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/1j2sgxw/please_ensure_your_useragents_are_unique_and/
It’s stopped working for me twice but i repeated the procedure to change the user agent or app key or whatever and re patch the app and it works again
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.
I’m so sad about lemm.ee!!! That was the first instance I joined! That was my home for, wow, 2 years. But I’m still sticking with Lemmy. Just had to find myself a new home base.
Yeah I’m so glad that many people felt strongly enough about it to populate this platform!
Not really: the Export+Import feature should make migration a breeze this time, and you’ll still see all your old posts and stuff (you won’t be able to edit them anymore though).
Switching from centralized Reddit to decentralized Threadiverse will never need to happen again - I even switched away from Lemmy to PieFed (when the Import feature hadn’t been implemented yet) and it was still much easier.:-)
It’s already been 2 years?? Damn
Baconreader refugee here
I loved that app and I still miss it (and reddit) in some ways, but the API Apocalypse was when I decided I had to take a moral stand and quit. No way was I going to be railroaded into the first-party app full of ads and nonsense.
I haven’t looked back since.
Ditto.
