Happy ruleversary
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.
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.
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.
And now my insurance is shutting down 🤡
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.
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. :(
Wefwef?
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.
Woohoo ! Happy Anniversary! Deleted manually 13 years of posts and comments.
I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck
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?
Honestly Lemmy has been way better for me for my phone habits. Just enough content but not too much
Eventually, that’s going to change.
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.
Wow 2 years already?! Let’s fucking go Lemmy!
Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died
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!
BaconReader for me.
Sync for me
I used to love that app.
Sync has been very user friendly for me, and the closest I felt to RiF
I mean… Lemmy has always kinda felt more sane
Cheers
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.
I joined when Reddit started milking their users
Relay for me
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!
Still using rif today,
Checkout revanced.
Ads free youtube and patching rif to work with your api key
Cheers 🥂
Me!! Cheers 🍸
I joined around that time because there was enough users to sustain itself.
I never looked back
Ah-ho!
Wow, yeah, my cake day is in only a few days! I didn’t realize. Cheers!
Cheers y’all, hope the next year is even better
Thx brah
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.
Joey was the superior app. Shame it didn’t get as widespread as the others.

Apollo was the last straw for me.
