How to avoid the Reddit downfall
Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc....
Do you think reddit will survive this?
Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?
Good morning, reddit is fun! A workaround to re-enable the app with a little TLC. ( kbin.social )

Reddit changed their minds, do a half step back - RIF can access Reddit but doesn't accept login
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...
We've gotta go, baby!

Anyway to port reddit sub list to here?
I am pretty tight for time since my second child was born yesterday. For my first I would let my wife sleep while I held my baby and browsed reddit for hours. The timing of all this couldn't be worse for me. Nothing to do while I'm pinned down with a baby!...
Is there a Lemmy app that supports auto collapse of reply comments yet?
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....
Coming from RIF, what is your personal favorite Lemmy app?
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:...
7 years right to the day ( lemmy.world )
I got this notification right in the middle of getting myself set up here. I used the awful official app only to post albums, but rif was my app for everything else. RIP in peace rif.
Is it cheating to ReVance your own copy of rif?
Old habits die hard, just saying.
429 yesterday, RIF user agreement today
I opened RIF app today (7/1) and saw this, any idea what’s going on?...
The app is working right now...
How? Why?...
So Reddit Is fun Still works!
So I was reading a article about the recent shutdown and it mentioned Reddit is Fun still works but you can’t log in… so I logged out of my account and bam everything was working fine. I dont know when it will actually shut down but this is for whoever needs to hear this. Also thank you Lemmy for welcoming us refugees in.
Thanks for all you've done @talklittle - You made the most heavily used piece of software of my life
I just wanted to say: if you were to take every piece of software I’ve ever used in my 28 years on this earth, and you added up the cumulative amount of time I spent using each of them, RiF would be the winner. And it isn’t even close. And I now feel like I always took it for granted. It was always there, in the top left...
I'm able to still browse live Reddit on RIF when I am logged out. Will doing so count API calls against the devs?
I noticed that when I was logged in, whenever I refreshed I would get a 429 error. However after clearing my app data, and opening the app as a subconscious abatement of boredom, I realized I was still being fed live content....
What Reddit does next does not matter, because Reddit no longer matters
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....
Deleted my 10yr 80k karma account…
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…
Goodbye RIF ( www.talklittle.com )
Text of the webpage:...
I'm leaving the app installed as a memorial
I'll replace the icon on my homescreen with a Lemmy app, but I can't bring myself to fully uninstall RiF....
Reddit Is Fun - *429*

Rest Easy rif ( lemmy.world )
So long and thanks for all the memes
Best Reddit app i’ve ever used. You will be sorely missed. Rip RIF and Reddit.
RiF let me participate, even moderate, from my hospital bed
Back in 2015, I was in the hospital for two weeks, trying not to die (again), and I couldn’t have a laptop but I had my phone. Reddit was possible due to RiF....
