I’ve got Lemmy, a glitchy beta iOS app to view it with and I’m rollin’ with it. It’ll get better in the coming weeks and months.

It's real uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I've been checking reddit daily for well over a decade now, and it's incredibly disorienting to have that suddenly not be an option anymore. I really, really hope they change their minds about pushing through these asinine API changes so I can go back to using RIF like before, but if not, I'd way rather get used to Lemmy than get used to the official Reddit app and reward them for their scummy business practices.

Dude... I spent over ELEVEN FUCKING YEARS of my life visiting that site almost daily - just about always through rif. I'm a little beside myself, if we're being perfectly honest. (Which kinda feels dumb to say about something like reddit, but... There it is.) I mean, I realized last night that I was having to re-learn how to find news on the internet. Which was weird.

This isn't exactly what I needed on top of losing basically every long-term relationship I had left in the span of a year or so... Just sayin'. 🙃 (Can I emoji here? Lol Have mercy on me I'm quite clearly new at this🤣😂)

I miss Reddit. I really enjoy the autism focused communities there. Some of them are still but, but I'm trying not to give Reddit any clicks at the moment. Hopefully things pick up here.

Super frustrating ngl. But my rage level is sated by having a replacement. It’s not the same but it’s similar enough. A bit like picking up a new phone. I miss the old one but soon I’ll be so happy with the new one.

I don’t like being in my rage place. Spez pushed me into full rage with his stupidness. That rage… Reddit can keep.

Trying to see the best in it right now. This platform feel more like the old forums I grew up in and miss, so I’m informing my brain it’s simply a return to previous routines. Apollo was the only thing making Reddit usable the past several years. When it goes, so does my Reddit account. Very happy to find this space. I know there’s been talk of moving to discord from some communities but i just can't enjoy the instant communication those platforms are built on.

I had to delete Apollo. It is so baked into my routine. I put Mlem in its place to help with the muscle memory. Until more communities fill out on Lemmy, and until I learn to better utilize the service, I’m left feeling frustrated and confused

yeah will take some time to get used to for sure

I didn't realize how much I used it until I stopped. I used Sync, so I'm definitely out of my element. I should have seen it coming since I was at Digg before. I was younger and less aware back then.
