I joined when Reddit started milking their users

🥂 It's still installed on my phone and it opens every time I click a reddt link

I wasn't on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It's been one of the better places I've enjoyed for discussion.

Happy anniversary from Mbin!

Congrats Lemmy. Way better than Reddit shit show.

BaconReader for me.

I was sync for me, but hell yeah, it's been a good couple of years.

Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died

Cheers y'all.

Hopped over to Lemmy around that time and learned about the Fediverse. And now I'm checking out PieFed.

What a ride it's been.

Speaking of which, a recent Android update (I know I should change OSes) got rid of the little Lemmy.world web app icon thing I had installed and I haven't been able to get it back, so far. Does anyone know how to fix that? That was working great as my RIF replacement. I read it all again and I'm such a grandma. :(

Reddit really turned into yet another brainrot doom scroll website.

I think back to what it used to be, how I used to engage with the communities and it's depressing to see how that was lost. I miss the old API especially. I used to have personal project around it that helped me use it. It was fun to develop and maintain, and it really helped me out browsing reddit.

when they changed the api ruled I tried still to use it, but their interface to create an account to use the free api (I was querying so little it would have applied to use the free api), never worked. I tried for months until finally giving up.

Hey that's me

Time flies doesn't it?
