  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 🤢

    You decided on a new home yet? What’s your selection criteria.

    I’d be tempted to make a single user instance, given how there’s an ansible playbook you can just run.

      Sync has been very user friendly for me, and the closest I felt to RiF

  Congrats Lemmy. Way better than Reddit shit show.

  Speaking of which, a recent Android update (I know I should change OSes) got rid of the little Lemmy.world web app icon thing I had installed and I haven’t been able to get it back, so far. Does anyone know how to fix that? That was working great as my RIF replacement. I read it all again and I’m such a grandma. :(

  I still have rif on my phone for it’s sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.

  I created an account two years ago, but was using boost and it kept working up until a few months ago. The combination of Boost not working and Nazis taking over Reddit so even the desktop old reddit was pointless to use.

  Same. I used the little picture widget to cycle adorable animal pictures all day on my home screen. The one little thing that gave me joy, fucking ruined by corporations. While I don’t have a widget anymore, I at least have someplace I can talk for 5 minutes and have someone listen.

    I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck

    Miss RIF so much.

      Revanced ftw. Although some things stopped working, /r/random stopped working

      We should make our own RIF

    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.

  In 10 days my account will be 2 years old.

  I’ve enjoyed it, and this has been one of my most visited websites during that time. But I’m still not sure I’ll stick around after lemm.ee shuts down at the end of this month.

  source

  • Kevnyon@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah, had to move back to this instance because of that. I think that just shows how hard it is and how much funding it actually requires.

    source

    • blind3rdeye@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My understanding is in the case of lemm.ee they were getting enough donations to cover the technical operating costs, but they did not have enough high-quality volunteers for admins (and presumably not enough money to pay admins. It would require a lot of money to pay fairly for that work).

      This made me curious, how much funding does it actually require for maintining reasonable amount of users in the long term ?

    Ate you going back to big R?

    source

    • blind3rdeye@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well kind of yes and kind of no. I never closed my R account, and I still check there maybe once a week. So in that since “yes”. But on the other hand, the quality of posts and discussion is pretty low. It feels like a lot of the content there is posted to meet some goal, such as selling a product or influencing opinions - rather than just sharing thoughts and ideas. I find that pretty off-putting. Despite the very high comment counts, genuine discussion there is almost non-existent. But the one bit of value I do sometimes get is it often has some piece of niche news that I’m mildly interested in.

  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.

• Kcap@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I told reddit I wouldn’t be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn’t deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

  • JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Me too, i even said it in one of my last comments and a couple months later when i logged back in to wipe over my account i saw i had a reply; someone responded saying something like “yeah sure thing, youll be back in 2 days drama queen”.
    Well, turns out i meant what i said. Bye Felicia

  I still miss rif 😭

  source

  • herrvogel@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    • REDACTED@infosec.pub ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      This method stopped working for me 2 months ago. Something to do with headers (browser-agent), but didn’t bother fixing
