        I’m so sad about lemm.ee!!! That was the first instance I joined! That was my home for, wow, 2 years. But I’m still sticking with Lemmy. Just had to find myself a new home base.

        Not really: the Export+Import feature should make migration a breeze this time, and you’ll still see all your old posts and stuff (you won’t be able to edit them anymore though).

        Switching from centralized Reddit to decentralized Threadiverse will never need to happen again - I even switched away from Lemmy to PieFed (when the Import feature hadn’t been implemented yet) and it was still much easier.:-)

    10 years on reddit but when they fucked over the Apollo dev I had no problem giving him a couple bucks for the app and moving to Lemmy, haven’t looked back.

    It makes me a bit upset that the developer of RIF didn’t make a Lemmy alternative. They instead went to Tildes, which, when I tried to check it out was not open to public registration. IDK if that changed, but I have not even heard a single person ever mention it outside of those early days after the API changes were announced and people were looking for alternatives.

    I want LIF. 😩

      Oh ya what happened to that site? tap tap tap

      Tildes is currently in invite-only alpha, and you must be invited to be able to register.

      I assume all the elitists complaining about the eternal september (including the 20 years olds) have sequestered themselves there which is best for everyone.

      I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

      Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.

      Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.

      There really is no comparison, Tildes has a few hundred to thousand active people (looks like about 20 posts a day… across the entire site), and is run by a single guy with very particular ideas about what people are allowed to say and do on his site.

      Lemmy meanwhile has roughly 50k users and I would guess hundreds to thousands of posts per day, even if not millions like Reddit that allows more niches to develop.

        I dunno… every mainstream normie I’ve ever told about Lemmy gets enormously turned off by the tankie content here. Yeah you can block it, but why should they when Reddit caters to a more centrist audience, they seem to think. We are a Nazi bar here and that’s going to be a problem for a long while.

        It didn’t help that I did not realize that a Google search pulls up Lemmy.ml as the top instance, and that it shows only Local content by default to a guest user. Thus it substantially helps to point to a specific Lemmy instance rather than tell people to check out just “Lemmy”, although lemm.ee was one of the top recommendations there so now that’s going to be confusing when people read old posts and comments.

    Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

    For much of reddit’s best years, RiF was my top app.

    This is exactly when and why I stopped using Reddit permanently and switched to Lemmy. If you run out of “Active” content here, try switching to “Hot”. And then “New”!

      Mods especially had a harder time with the official app, so a lot of us left in solidarity with them & the app devs. :-)

    I joined about half a year after the 3rd party apps died. Reddit’s decision back then still feels like it was more recent than just 2 years ago, though…

    Can time stop speedrunning itself, please?
