Just joined the Lemmy-verse and getting everything setup. Hope u/spez rots in hell
I'll add the obligatory farewell to RIF - "the app I was happy to pay for". This seems like an interesting alternative - I hope the back end is up for it! I won't be going back to Reddit on principle.
Honored to be here. Hopefully the scaling issues Lemmy might run into isn't too much.
Lemmy as a whole will probably take it. Lemmy.world might have issues because it might melt down and the private instances with an approval process like beehaw will just ignore it since their manual application queue can't handle it.
Those API changes will be the death of Reddit. When I glanced at RIF today in my app list and remembered it was offline, that brought me here finally. I held out hope that Spez wouldn't stand his ground but he did and now here we are. And this is my first post here, first of many. I hope this place thrives.

Thank you Boost for many years of great service.
Just moved in, hoping for the community to grow here as big and bigger than reddit's community.
*ladies and gentlemen, this isn’t reddit pal!
i'm doubting there will be a large exodus... why wouldn't they be here already?
There will be some but I doubt that it will be huge enough for Reddit to care. People will use their app, generate ad money. People willing to have ads in their experience probably have a higher tolerance for low quality posts, so any moderation changes likely won't be killer. That's my pessimistic take.
I've personally been splitting my time a bit on mobile until my beloved RIF dies, then I'll be here 100%.
12 year reddit user that just came here after RIF went down. Excited to meet you all here! It's my first comment and may there be many, many more.
My first post on Lemmy, hello fellow RIF-ers. I hope Reddit goes down hard.
I can't even load comments on this post. Who knows if anyone can even read what I'm writing now lol.
It's happening! This is what ~~a DDOS attack~~ peak performance looks like.
R.I.P. RIF.
And ladies. We are here as well. I started an audiobook sub for those who are interested
It's about time for something better than reddit.
another RIF user checking in. Good to have a place to come to. Let's hope this turns into something really good
