  Did anyone leave because they were banned? Because that was me.

    We’re two years out from the API apocalypse. I think. That’s how I got here.

  Synch for Lemme and haven’t gone back.

  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 stopped using RIF when the dumbass who developed it started whining about open source and monetary remuneration. The app became popular in large part because it was open source.

  It’s just like the nutsack who founded GitHub. A literal GPLv2 program and the guy got super rich and famous, then extolled the virtues of using lax permissive licenses. Absolute tool.

    Sync was always better

  I joined about half a year after the 3rd party apps died. Reddit’s decision back then still feels like it was more recent than just 2 years ago, though…

  Can time stop speedrunning itself, please?

  best thing i did on reddit was leaving and coming to lemmy.

  Hey thanks man, those two years flew!

  3 months short for me but that’s because it took me that long to figure out how Lemmy worked.

• hark@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I wasn’t on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It’s been one of the better places I’ve enjoyed for discussion.

  What’s RIF? I joined when BaconReader stopped working

  source

  • jballs@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Someone else suggested saying when all the 3rd party API supported apps stopped working - but there’s only so much room on a meme text box, ya know?

    RIF arguably the best Reddit mobile app.

  • Sc00ter@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    RIF = reddit is fun

    Its was when the third party apps went down

    source
• QubaXR@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I pour one out for Bacon Reader

    Yup I loved baconreader!

  Honestly Lemmy has been way better for me for my phone habits. Just enough content but not too much

  source

  • picnic@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Eventually, that’s going to change.

    • OpenStars@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I dunno... every mainstream normie I've ever told about Lemmy gets enormously turned off by the tankie content here. Yeah you can block it, but why should they when Reddit caters to a more centrist audience, they seem to think. We are a Nazi bar here and that's going to be a problem for a long while.

      It didn't help that I did not realize that a Google search pulls up Lemmy.ml as the top instance, and that it shows only Local content by default to a guest user. Thus it substantially helps to point to a specific Lemmy instance rather than tell people to check out just "Lemmy", although lemm.ee was one of the top recommendations there so now that's going to be confusing when people read old posts and comments.

  Still using rif today,

  Checkout revanced.

  Ads free youtube and patching rif to work with your api key

  Apollo was the last straw for me.

• Ulrich@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I replaced RIF with Stealth. It’s actually a really excellent read-only client that you can subscribe to subs and view content without contributing anything to Reddit.

  source

  • dhork@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Reddit still publishes RSS feeds, so you can use an RSS reader to see the latest stuff. You can’t interact with it, but who wants to trade shit posts with bots anyway?

    This is how I keep up with my Sportsball teams since that community hasn’t really taken off here yet.

    source

    • jballs@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Lack of sports content is a bit of a rough spot for Lemmy. This is one of the few places where Linux memes get substantially more engagement than a super bowl thread.

      Side note, the superb owl community here is pretty great.

      I’m not a big fan of most RSS readers. And def not for Reddit content.

  Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died

  I joined when Reddit started milking their users

  Cheers for infinity, may it rest in peace.

  I’m currently using Eternity for lemmy (fork)

  I patched my Sync and RIF so they still work fine. But I’m here anyway!

  Relay for me

• mesitoispro@ttrpg.network ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I joined around that time because there was enough users to sustain itself.

  🥂 It’s still installed on my phone and it opens every time I click a reddt link

  Two year anniversary just a few days ago. Also left when RiF stopped working. Really nice to see Lemmy activity continually going up with each passing day, but the quality hasn’t gone down. Very much enjoying it!
