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! ๐Ÿป

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

11 years of Reddit. 42k karma. A top 10 comment in the top 10 posts of all time. Happy to be here and build this up!

Just created a profile, I was using rif last night when suddenly I got the api error code, really sad to see it go.

I really hope lemmy replaces reddit, plenty of us here but we need more growth.

Liking it so far.

I'm here as well. I loved the design and feel of RIF.

RiF user since 2011. I'm now trying replacement apps for Lemmy. Liftoff and Jerboa look pretty good. Am trying Connect for Lemmy, but it looks super buggy right now.

Do you guys recommend any other app to browse Lemmy from the Google Play Store?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The app store apps are a little janky still or now. I just started using wefwef.app (it's a pwa. Just put wefwef.app in your browser) and it's been the best so far. It's a recreation of alien blue for iOS.

Any good Lemmy app replacing rif? Looking for the ability to show tow rows of cards like rif. I seem to be in the minority for using that feature.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

wefwef in compact mode is really similar to RIF. Highly suggest you try it out.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Download Connect for Lemmy, I think reverse row is what you want. You can change it in the settings. I used RIF the same way

Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.

Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I made it here. I hope to understand instances and whether I need to create other accounts soon.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If you make an account on one instance, you can read and write on the others!

Switched from reddit to here. Hopefully we'll see something similar to Rif for lemmy. Fuck reddit and fuck spez.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suggest giving wefwef a try. It's a web app and it seems really solid. I came here from Apollo, but used rif prior to that and this app seems really nice.

Thank you! I'm so sad to see RiF go. I'm hopeful for a bright future.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Rest in peace RIF.

Reddit is now officially dead to me. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.

Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.
