Joining the party as RIF kicks the bed :')
Rif has been reddit for me for the past 10 ish years now, opened the app today to see error 429.
Good to be here :)
Ngl Jerboa is quite similar to RiF, so I'm definitely settling in well.
Gonna miss RIF.
Yup. Little pang of sadness seeing it finally gone. I got years of procrastination out of that app.
Me too.
Very sad to say goodby to RIF after 9 years. Lets get this party started and I got some learning to do in this new environment.
My first post as a refugee! Glad this place is here to fill the void.
Welcome, Bill!
I was in denial about Apollo going dark and naturally when I woke up at 2am I had to spend 2 hours finding & getting lemmy & wefwef setup.
Bye bye reddit!
Hah, me right now when I should've been asleep long ago. I tried to open RIF as usual, realized it really happened, and then spent the last hour or two trying to understand this site and make an account and whatnot. I was only partially successful on the former, but at least I made it here!
π to everybody who's making this possible. There's hoping that all the traffic can be managed
Was browsing Apollo, it ceased, I opened the Reddit app once, closed it, signed up for Lemmy.
From the detritus of the old generation, the new generation shall emerge.
Fuckin waste of time that reddit.
Giving this a shot after RIF died on me. Fuck Spez. I hope this takes off.
I joined 2 weeks ago, I technically am a migrant lol but I feel like a veteran already .
WELCOME REDDITORS!
Coming from Apollo? Go here: wefwef.app
Or just go therr anyway regardless of where you came from, it's such a great app.
Second ever comment here. I watched Apollo shut down live, went to sleep and then immediately tried opening it up again after waking up, out of habit - girlfriends still asleep and I got so used to browsing Reddit for a bit before we get up on weekends, it has become muscle memory.
Using Wefwef currently and itβs nice, awesome work especially for a web app.
Fuck u/spez
This whole fediverse thing is a bit strange after 10 years of rif. But Reddit was going downhill for quite a while. Hope this takes off!
that is cool. there is no such thing as too many graphs, so don't be shy in the future π
Haha, guilty. I went to mindlessly pull up RIF at about 7 pm CT and it wasn't loading comments, then I went oh, right, UTC it's midnight. And now two hours later here I am on lemmy
Same story here but with Sync on Android. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Same for me. Woke up, launched Sync and got the message that it's not working anymore now and will work with Lemmy later. Immediately created an account here π
I just joined after Apollo stopped working. Iβve been over at squabbles since the black out. No idea how this place works. Excited to dig in and figure it out though!
I straight up don't know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.
I've been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you're feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it's own thing.

I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I've found my new home.
It was weird using Reddit Is Fun like I always do then it just suddenly stopped.
I can't create a community. I click the button and nothing happens. Any idea why? I'm trying to recreate a community from Reddit that really helped me when I was in a dark place.
I'm on Connect, I hope the UI gets better, Lemmy has a lot of potential but it needs work
Nice to have a new place to hang my virtual coat and peer into the endless void of the internet.
I'd love to see day by day numbers on a chart of how many joined
It has become muscle memory for me to open the app. My phone seems so empty now.
Glad to see Boost for Lemmy will be coming
