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

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

Rest in peace RIF.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I followed the link too. Didn't know about lemmy before RIF closed

Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.

Hello, fellower RIF users.

Time to see what this place has. Kinda like moving into a new house.

RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.

I'm proud to be done with reddit. I'm eagerly exploring my new addiction. I'm a lemon head.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lemon head? Is that what we're called?

I can live with that.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha! I had the same two habit subreddits. Plus legaladvice.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My hard go-to's were AITA, BORU, Hobby Drama, Subreddit Drama, and Unresolved Mysteries. I'm still looking for replacements; is there a thread for us to find equivalent communities? I can (probably) move on from AITA once the jonesing tapers off but Unresolved Mysteries was my comfort community.

This is fixed now, they deployed 0.18

Glad to hear it's not just me experiencing that. There's a lot of bugs they need to iron out. But I'm looking forward to seeing lemmy and the whole threadiverse thing grow.

One of my last posts on reddit, one of my first upvotes (and now, my first comment) here. Seems fitting.
