Think of it as fortuitous timing. Reddit is the old internet. Lemmy is the new world. You are one of its early movers. Come fill this place.

15 years on reddit for me. Exclusively old.reddit.com and apollo for most of that. That site is dead to me now.

I just feel bad for the developer. Years spent developing an app for it to be worthless. That has got to be deflating.

Me too. RIP two best apps. Reddit is dead to me.

For me, it was JoeyforReddit on Android. What an excellent app! I was able to read at length because I could select my own font, sizes and color. It made for very easy reading on my eyes.

I love being here but am hoping for apps for these new socials. I cannot do the sans serif fonts without eye pain. I think the reading flow isn't smooth. So improvements needed and will be well received.

Nice to see you all here.

I'm genuinely sad. Not to be dramatic, but there were times where Reddit saved my life. Seeing the number of comments and posts I had made while I was scrubbing my account hit me harder than I thought it would.

Well the good news is that the RIF dev is working on an app for Tildes. So god-willing at least it will stick exist in some form.

It's sad, but it seems to me you adapted to the fediverse, I see you on my frontpage every time I check it, great content, good job!

I was always an old.reddit.com user on both desktop and Android so I didn't think the loss of the apps would make too much difference to me.

Yeesh was I wrong; you can already see the falloff in content over there now.

And I am really sick of seeing John Oliver pics.

Yep. Sucks.

Artemis and Memmy are both Apollo inspired

12 years for me as well, but from my point of view I'd say good riddance. Reddit has been gone to shit over the past ~5 years. I will miss Relay though.

@Girlparts I'm running PowerDelete Suite right now and it is very bittersweet for me. 12 years of heavy participation, poof, gone like dry leaves in the breeze.

I felt this, but as the end of the month drew nearer and I adjusted to the idea of losing Reddit more, it has actually felt like a really cathartic process for me. Using PowerDeleteSuite on my profile, creating a new one here, searching for new communities within it. I honestly think this change will be a net positive for me personally. Reddit was absolutely swamped in noise and low quality content, it had been for years. A communal shift into a new world, that holds different values at the forefront, and by default (smaller, federated communities) content quality should improve. It reminds me a little of the old message board days.

I'm just waiting on a kbin app that goes at least some way to being as good an experience as Apollo was, as I'm mostly a mobile user.

I was about to make a post like this. Trying to explain this whole situation to someone this morning, and found myself feeling way more feelings than I expected to feel over losing an app.

But it's more than an app. For the last 7 years, it's where my nerds hang out. It's where I could get actual humans responding to weird questions.

It's also the place where I often got shouted down and told in many ways that I'm stupid.

I expected these two things to balance each other out, but no. I'm sad to lose Reddit, upset that the reason is greed, and a little apprehensive about relying on Kbin for all my forum contend from now on. It's been great here so far, but I'm only just getting started.

Today is officially gonna be the last day that I will argue with righties and centrists on r/conservative

I uninstalled RIF. For old time's sake I fell asleep last night browsing many year old threads on r/tolkienfans. Truly relaxing, ad, clutter free, just text, just reading. I hate the idea of a world without that.
