Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.
Switched from reddit to here. Hopefully we'll see something similar to Rif for lemmy. Fuck reddit and fuck spez.
I suggest giving wefwef a try. It's a web app and it seems really solid. I came here from Apollo, but used rif prior to that and this app seems really nice.
RiF user since 2011. I'm now trying replacement apps for Lemmy. Liftoff and Jerboa look pretty good. Am trying Connect for Lemmy, but it looks super buggy right now.
Do you guys recommend any other app to browse Lemmy from the Google Play Store?
The app store apps are a little janky still or now. I just started using wefwef.app (it's a pwa. Just put wefwef.app in your browser) and it's been the best so far. It's a recreation of alien blue for iOS.
Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.
made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here
11 years of Reddit. 42k karma. A top 10 comment in the top 10 posts of all time. Happy to be here and build this up!
Just created a profile, I was using rif last night when suddenly I got the api error code, really sad to see it go.
I really hope lemmy replaces reddit, plenty of us here but we need more growth.
Liking it so far.

Thank you! I'm so sad to see RiF go. I'm hopeful for a bright future.
Rest in peace RIF.
Reddit is now officially dead to me. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.
It's using a different API than the OAUThed one, since everyone was logged out when the API shut down.
Not as much as an api as an xml dump.
Kind of dumb to let that available (since the claimed problem was massive scraping for AI datasets) while blocking posting and upvotes.
It will likely be shutdown too.
Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.
Likewise. RIF pretty much was Reddit for me so far as regular browsing goes. I may still occasionally use old Reddit on desktop but I've heard rumours that may go as well, with the continued enshittification of Reddit.
Reddit Was Fun
