No respect for the OG. RIP RiF.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

I still have the app on my phone. After over a decade of use, I can't bear to uninstall. Seeing it's icon is like seeing a loved one's ashes in my living room.

[-] Slwh47696@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I first got that app in 2012, didn't realize it had been so long, jesus

[-] Astarii_Tyler@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

You can patch your own api key into it with revanced manager

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

True. If I'm ever interested in going back to that site, I'll try that method. But personally I'm liking Lemmy and the fediverse much more.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

reddit content was already going downhill, bunch of repost bots, comments being ripped from other commenters.

when the API changes were announced it started getting worse.

RIF worked for a while after the initial deadline in read only mode and then the content went reeealy downhill.

basically if it wasn't something like news/politics/sports where it's just content being linked to, but actual user generated content then it was just reposts, but like daily.

It's so fucking good. I thought I missed Reddit. No, I missed Sync!

[-] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

Sync is GOAT. IMO using the app makes me somehow want to comment more than what I expected.

I just make my own, now.

As a German this scenario is both unrealistic and at the same time devastating

I use them with Revanced. Sorry Lemmy, but you're not even close to Reddit's content quality. You're improving though.

[-] StThicket@reddthat.com 21 points 1 year ago

I love Lemmy. It's just like reddit from when I joined in 2012. With Sync for Lemmy, it's easy to use as well

[-] StoicLime@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is a great platform considering how new it is, but the conversation is still majorly about being on Lemmy and how Reddit = bad, and the Fediverse. It's very fatiguing.

Personally I never used any 3rd party reddit clients because I avoid apps in general, and was really used to the old.reddit dating back to 2008 or so. However, I did give up on reddit finally based on the API issue, I had a successful API app based on another site years ago, and the way Splez acted was pretty much the same nonsense we were subjected to. We made something that the site members loved, and were able to eke out a decent living by developing and supporting it. We were always dealing with the site changing things, and the CEO had this attitude like we were interloper parasites making money from his property. We had the rug pulled out from under us multiple times with changes to the site, bugs, performance problems and unannounced feature cancellations. At the same time, their members told us our web app was the best, it enabled them to use the site and filled in huge gaps in the official offerings, and please don't ever change it. So, to see Reddit act that way to API developers was unacceptable. Plus, Lemmy/kbin is way better.

Reddit banned my account for "Abusing the report button", and still won't unban it. I still miss reddit because Lemmy doesn't have enough interest specific forums.

I need to talk to someone about Mortal Kombat and Sonic!

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

They banned me for saying child molesters deserved to die. Meanwhile there's all kinds of other threads with people saying the same shit about other way less bad demographics and nothing happens to them... Hmmmmmm.

And for a reasonable subscription price! It's just a shame that we know it goes straight to reddit, so I'm not gonna do that.

Isn't the price based on how much you interact with the site?

Gonna be a no from me.

We’re still on this?

[-] callyral@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On the other hand we now have Lemmy 3rd party clients and hopefully publicly available Kbin clients soon

[-] Armand1@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The dev of Boost for Reddit says he's working on a Lemmy version, but it is as of yet unreleased.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubenmayayo.lemmy

That's why I'm running Lemmy on Sync for Lemmy. Absolutely beautiful.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Infinity, noooooo!!!

[-] atyaz@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Agreed but I'm almost glad that happened since I'm off Reddit

[-] themeltingclock@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

I miss the local community Reddit has/had - meaning vibrant town/city subreddits. The one for my town here on Lemmy is just one dude (@ickplant you’re doing your best) but it just doesn’t have the critical mass.

[-] atyaz@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

You're my boy @ickplant

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Y'all gonna do my boy RIF like that?

[-] Squirrel_Patrol@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

As a former Boost for Reddit user, Ive already set up to automatically download their Lemmy app when it drops.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

In the meantime you should check out Sync- writing you from it now :)

Same , this 196 is pretty alright from what I've seen same general gay libleftist vibes and I'm here for it

[-] DosCommas@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You can still get those apps to work by injecting personal API key into the app.

I'm still quietly using a 3rd party app for my limited Reddit visits as I am a moderator for a sub with no content.
