Welcome RIF users
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.

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...
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:...
Just created an account here, first post, first community to subscribe to.
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...
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....
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...
It was one of the few apps still working, it went offline today.
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!
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...
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....
It’s working like normal. I’m guessing it won’t work for long.
Back when reddit was arguing in favor of net neutrality against Ajit Pai, I wrote them a note which they included in their FCC filing. I think there were all of five or so redditors they included for that....
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?
Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?
Welcome to Lemmy! Here’s a simple guide for those migrating....
I was on reddit for the better part of a decade. It helped me through a lot of challenges, and I even lost my virginity because of the site....
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....
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....

I want to hear from my fellow RIF users.
