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! 🍻

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
Same, no RIF no reddit, the one only & best for 9+ yrs. Might lurk old.reddit some, but seriously ready to turn a new leaf where my interests aren’t sold as potential ad-clickers
Watch reddit remove old.reddit next
To me this is clearly a future step. Obviously reddit hasn’t cared about the user experience in years and have been slowly maneuvering to make changes that benefit profits at the cost of user experience.
For me personally I look back to when Victoria was fired as the first moment I said “oh OK, it’s gonna be like that”. The value she brought to the site could not be overstated imo. AMAs were a true spectacle before. Ever since then it’s felt like reddit was attempting to “make frog soup” by slowly making everything worse and hoping each individual change wouldn’t be enough for the frog to jump out.
They’ll learn the hard way that it doesn’t work I guess lol.
Death of the apps was the line in the sand for me and many others. Old.reddit will inevitably be taken behind the shed one day and I imagine that’ll be another line in the sand. And eventually I really do believe reddit will fade out to the level of digg/tumblr/whatever else.
Love the fediverse idea though. He’s hoping it takes off.
One final thought… I swear it’s amazing how quickly any company goes to hell once it goes public. To me it really feels like the people making these decisions do not understand the products/services they provide and why they’re successful.
Exactly. I pretty much exclusively used RIF for the past 11 years. I might still check old.reddit for local news and maybe subredditdrama to see how reddit’s quality is declining, but I will find somewhere else for everything else I used reddit for.
i just downloaded ‘connect for lemmy’ on googleplay first impression is good, lets see where we go from here
Go look at Thunder and wefwef when you are acclimatized. I am seriously vibing on Thunder; the only thing I haven’t figured out how to do on that one is get the text bigger. Thunder and wefwef are both sideloaded, tho.
