I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! ๐Ÿป

Just made my account here. Rest in power RIF! No RIF no reddit for me. Atm problems to log in on desktop. Thoughts and prayers for the lemmy servers :D

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.

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!

I'm here as well. I loved the design and feel of RIF.

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?

RIF is still working for me, at least for now. Dreading the moment when it stops. RIF has legit been a part of my life for like 3 years.

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.

Any good Lemmy app replacing rif? Looking for the ability to show tow rows of cards like rif. I seem to be in the minority for using that feature.

wefwef in compact mode is really similar to RIF. Highly suggest you try it out.

Download Connect for Lemmy, I think reverse row is what you want. You can change it in the settings. I used RIF the same way

Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.

Rest in peace RIF.

Reddit is now officially dead to me. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

[โ€“] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I made it here. I hope to understand instances and whether I need to create other accounts soon.

[โ€“] AB7ORH7D@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you make an account on one instance, you can read and write on the others!

[โ€“] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You'll get it in no time. The best way I've seen it described is email. You can have outlook. I can have Juno. Our pal can have aol. But we can all still talk to each other and see the same emails just as tho we all had the same email provider. Same thing here with instances. They're each like an individual Reddit but we can all see them (for the most part, some have been blocked by others, etc.) And comment in then from our own instances.

Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.

Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?

Not bad. They just need the page to stop automatically bumping posts down every 3 seconds and this site will be perfectly fine as a replacement

[โ€“] seperis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously, I'm legit impressed; there's enough here right already to make the transition work. I'll miss BORU, but losing my AITA habit is probably a win when you're at the point of thinking human extinction may have some good ideas there.
