We need a Lemmy is Fun!
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
I used RIF for almost a decade. It's sad to see it go.
It's a little disgusting, but completely in character, for Reddit to leech off those apps for over a decade and then stab them in the back.
And by leech, I mean I question whether Reddit would have grown as much as it did without the 3rd-party apps. Hardly anyone uses Reddit desktop.
... it's probably a good thing that I don't have Reddit on my phone now, to be honest, just wish it hadn't happened this way.
Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.
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
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.
I made a reddit account 7 years ago and used rif most of that time. It was the only thing keeping me on reddit because I was never satisfied with the official app. With rif gone, reddit will only be used as a means of finding answers to questions I search Google with. I hope that I won't have to depend on reddit for long in that regard either.

Tried the official app after 10 years of RIF and deleted it within minutes. Downloaded Connect and have been enjoying Lemmy a lot!Looks like I've joined the great migration!

Same. 13.
Switched from reddit to here. Hopefully we'll see something similar to Rif for lemmy. Fuck reddit and fuck spez.

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?
There are several. Unfortunately, they are all in early alpha. Lemmy wasn't quite ready for the mainstream, so the developers are scrambling a bit. That said, the improvements, even over just the last week or so, are impressive. Even if the apps are currently a bit threadbare and buggy still.
Jerboa is available on the app store. I'm personally using Thunder, though you need to download it from GitHub right now to use it. There are several more out there, but I've not played with them yet.
Ah that's good there are things coming! Looking forward to what the devs can do.
I'll keep a look out! Thanks.
Bye RIF :( Hello Lemmy :)
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.
