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. π©
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.

So true lol

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, havenβt looked back.
Holy crap! I just got used to thinking that its been over a year since the blackout... but that shocking realization was a year ago now. Thanks, everyone!

Reddit really turned into yet another brainrot doom scroll website.
I think back to what it used to be, how I used to engage with the communities and it's depressing to see how that was lost. I miss the old API especially. I used to have personal project around it that helped me use it. It was fun to develop and maintain, and it really helped me out browsing reddit.
when they changed the api ruled I tried still to use it, but their interface to create an account to use the free api (I was querying so little it would have applied to use the free api), never worked. I tried for months until finally giving up.

I genuinely canβt believe itβs been so long
Wait, it's been two years already?
that was a fast 2yrs
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?
π₯ It's still installed on my phone and it opens every time I click a reddt link
I got sitebanned a couple weeks before RIF officially died so not quite the same anniversary, close enough though :)
Iβve only been here since the start of the year but Iβm happy to be here.
Synch for Lemme and haven't gone back.
Still using rif today,
Checkout revanced.
Ads free youtube and patching rif to work with your api key
It's been pretty good too. Thanks everyone for making this collection of sites fun and interesting! Fedi is awesome π
2 years and 2 weeks. I must have left a tad early.
Cheers π₯
This me. Do we get snacks?
The office ordered everyone beans. You can have some during your break.
