Joining the party as RIF kicks the bed :')
You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.
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.
Gonna miss RIF.
Yup. Little pang of sadness seeing it finally gone. I got years of procrastination out of that app.
Me too.
My first post as a refugee! Glad this place is here to fill the void.
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.
It's 2am here and I just did exactly the same thing with rif. Gonna take some getting used to...
I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I've found my new home.
I straight up don't know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.
Set feed to All. Scroll. See interesting topic you want to see more, subscribe to community. Interested in specific topic? Search for community in communities page. Once you gather enough subscriptions, set feed to subscribed. Scroll.
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.
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!
And reddit still has a long way down. Look at Facebook, it never died, it just lost most young users and it grew stale with conspiracy theories, blind hatred and fake news.
It's the walmart-ification of social media. They're self sustaining because of their size, but that's not enough to make them an enjoyable experience. Just corporate, sterile, and lots of bored people.
I joined 2 weeks ago, I technically am a migrant lol but I feel like a veteran already .
WELCOME REDDITORS!
that is cool. there is no such thing as too many graphs, so don't be shy in the future 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!
If you arenβt sold on the interface then check out wefwef.app. No affiliation - just spreading the gospel. It feels like Reddit on Apollo, but here instead.
Coming from Apollo? Go here: wefwef.app
Or just go therr anyway regardless of where you came from, it's such a great app.
Fuck u/spez
So long RIF. So long Reddit.
Rest in peace, RIF. Rest in piss, spez.
Was browsing Apollo, it ceased, I opened the Reddit app once, closed it, signed up for Lemmy.
Same but from Reddit is fun
I came from RiF. I was shocked that reddit even went through with the block. Oh well, onto bigger and better things. Reddit can be a footnote in history.
9 years and 33k Karma. Unfortunately it ends today.
Hello Lemmy. Guess this is where I'll go from now on.
