Man, this is so dumb; unfortunately, if they open up all the subs, people are just gonna rush back because there's no reason to try to make anything else work.

Well, rif is shutting down on June 30th, and I won't use the desktop site or Reddit's own app, so I'm just jumping ship now. Deleted my rif app on the 11th, just after 9pm when the first subreddit I subbed to went dark. So now I'm here.

RIF user as well.

The day I saw confirmation 3rd party apps were closing I was done with Reddit. My two favourite subs have spawned homes here so I'm more than happy here trying to learn the ropes.

I really like it here so far. It doesn't seem too difficult to learn, but I'm just getting started. Checking out the Jerboa app, but I can't figure out how to reply to people replying to me from my inbox. I came to the web version to reply, lol.

My experimentation suggests that your inbox is kind of read-only. The only way to reply or vote is to go back to the top level thread.

I have some concerns over that. Unless there is something I'm missing, there is no reason for your inbox to be anything other than a filtered view of the communities where you've commented. As such, you should be able to do anything in your inbox that you can do anywhere else.

I could be completely out to lunch, though. My programming career ended over a decade ago and I have not done anything that resembles a formal analysis.
