After dumping Reddit what I find most refreshing is not having to add the /s when making a sarcastic comment, as I am wont to do....

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....

For anyone still interested in browsing the dumpster fire, for some reason, Baconit is still working on Xbox. I don’t know if the app can still be downloaded, but it still accesses the site with no issues.

It was one of the few apps still working, it went offline today.

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...

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 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....

The toxicity became too much to bear. I couldn’t go a post or a comment anymore without someone wanting to give me a hard time for it. Downvote brigading, using antagonizing logic to try and bait for responses that they want. The users digging into your post history to bring up things that have nothing to do with, with what...

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

Anyone else having a hard time sleeping? My habit for the last 10 years or so was scrolling on RIF until I was ready to sleep. Now I’m navigating Lemmy, which I feel so-so about and it’s not giving me the sleepy feelings. I just want to fall asleep! RIF, I miss you!

As title says, I’ve read several guides across the internet but I still don’t understand if you can use Rif again with 0 costs in money and if you can use all functions of Reddit is fun....

I heard that 5th of July that Reddit was blocking all access to NSFW if you aren’t logged in, they’re still open on RiF which is still functioning while logged out. Any clue what is going on or is Reddit just run by idiots?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I failed to get help elsewhere....

…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.

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?

Not sure if people missed this post on this community earlier, but RIF can be patched so that it works the same as before: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/307734...

Like many many many refugees I’m gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend....

The only real thing that’s held me back from going iPhone after almost 15 years of Android phones was rif....

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:...

When I open a post, I only want to see the parent comments. To see the reply comments of a specific parent comment, I could then unfold only these replies....

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

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...

People don't care about you, only what you can do for them. Thats a deeply cynical point of view but its emblematic of Reddit now....

I opened RIF app today (7/1) and saw this, any idea what’s going on?...
