I ran a NSFW subreddit that had ~150k people before I took it private. I’m pretty well into fully switching to Lemmy at this point and I haven’t been back over there since.

Do you think it’s better to reopen the subreddit and just not actively moderate or better to keep it dark?

The toxicity became too much to bear. I couldn't go a post or a comment anymore without someone wanting to give me a hard time for it. Downvote brigading, using antagonizing logic to try and bait for responses that they want. The users digging into your post history to bring up things that have nothing to do with, with what you bothered replying to them in the first place.

I don't know who to blame, what to blame and when it happened. But, Reddit has long lost it's status as being an open forum to peacefully and civilly talk anything in without someone getting way too entangled with their own self-importance and how their opinions have to be seen as some form of law to be obeyed by.

Was still using it logged out for NSFW subreddits but they've finally blocked access via RiF. I guess I have a problem, had to browse certain subs every day, but you know what this may be cathartic. Now I have no reason to go to Reddit and will save myself some time. I also deleted my main account so can't discuss anything anyway. RIP.

It's working like normal. I'm guessing it won't work for long.

236 up votes and no comments. I'm sure it's real.

Anyone else having a hard time sleeping? My habit for the last 10 years or so was scrolling on RIF until I was ready to sleep. Now I'm navigating Lemmy, which I feel so-so about and it's not giving me the sleepy feelings. I just want to fall asleep! RIF, I miss you!

As title says, I've read several guides across the internet but I still don't understand if you can use Rif again with 0 costs in money and if you can use all functions of Reddit is fun.

I also asked here how you could customize Reddit app and website home feed to make it look like Rif multi Reddit home feed but I got downvoted so I guess I understand it's not the best place to ask?

Please let me know what you think

I know there are still good reasons not to use or access reddit, but if you do and want to use RIF these instructions currently work.

I heard that 5th of July that Reddit was blocking all access to NSFW if you aren't logged in, they're still open on RiF which is still functioning while logged out. Any clue what is going on or is Reddit just run by idiots?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I failed to get help elsewhere.

I've been using reddit is fun for almost a decade and now that is shut down, I'm trying to learn to use reddit desktop, witch it's not that bad.

So I remember my reddit is fun main/front page showed me hot and top posts for several subreddits, I remember: europe, todayilearned, todayifuckedup, oldschoolcool, gaming, funny, news, worldnews, pics, aww

I don't know if I customized it the first time I used rif, I can't remember. What I know is that going to reddit dot come front page and browsing "top" or "popular" posts shows me a lot of subreddits witch I'm not that interested about, like whitepeopletwitter and unexpected.

Does somebody know how can I customize the front page to show all those subreddits reddit is fun used to show me?

I've "Allow us to introduce recommended posts in your home feed" turned off already, turning it on only affects Best section IIRC, and it shows me subreddits where I posted, but not what rif showed me. When I go to hot or top posts it shows me a lot of subreddits I don't want to see...

Obligatory fuck spez.

Not sure if people missed this post on this community earlier, but RIF can be patched so that it works the same as before: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/307734

Sure, the question of should you still be using Reddit after their horrible treatment of 3rd party devs is up to you, just wanted to let people know this was an option.

After I tried it, seems to work perfectly. The only thing I noticed is that imgur links won't work anymore, probably because the api keys RIF was using to pull from imgur are not valid after the OAuth client patch. Small price to pay to be able to keep using RIF though.

EDIT: @talklittle, if you are not okay with people patching your app, I can take this post down

...but I don't want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it'd feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.

The only real thing that's held me back from going iPhone after almost 15 years of Android phones was rif.

In hindsight that doesn't seem like it should have been that big of a deal lol.

Hard to break old habits, I kept accidently opening the RiF app. And so long as I'm not logged in I can browse reddit. Is this the case for anyone else? And do we know why?

Like many many many refugees I'm gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend.

I know I"m definitely not the oldest, but like a friend of mine and I talked, 9 years of communities, of friends, of stories for nearly a decade just got soured in a month.

So I'm here now, and admit I'm kinda lost. But hoping this is a new day.

Thank you RIF. You were singularly the most used app on my phone. You will be missed.

I avoid apps because they syphon data from your phone and sell it, but I regularly used and paid for @redditwasfun which is now dead thanks to capitalism.

Uninstalling... #Reddit and have replaced with #kbin.

Was a moderator on Reddit since 2014 but won't contribute there again and will do my best to never put my content on another commercial platform, nor read/share their links.

I host my dWeb blog and have four fedi personas, but what I'm waiting for is #SafeNetwork cos servers suck. #p2p

After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it's time for me to move on. So far I've used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:

1. wefwef.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.

2. Connect/Liftoff (tied). Both are solid, I prefer Connect's sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Liftoff. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.

3. Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

I just opened it from force of habit and to my shock it actually loaded. What's going on?
