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?

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:...

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...

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...

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…

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!

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....

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....

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!...

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...

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?

I don’t know how much of an effort it would be by the developer but we love RIF and maybe it’s worth it....

I mean the dev is obviously free to work on whatever he wants, but I’ve had a Tildes account for like 2 years now, and honestly it never got any traction. Lemmy on the other hand is getting a lot of users, and it is desperately missing a non-buggy app....
