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

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.

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

Yeah I followed the link too. Didn't know about lemmy before RIF closed

Is this and RIF style app for here?

Jerboa is very RiF like. Unfortunately if you use Lemmy.world it won't work until that instance updates. Currently on Connect for lemmy and it is ok.

I definitely miss Jerboa. But the past month has already brought so much chaos to my internet use. What's a little more?

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

It's working now!!

Connect for lemmy is best android app from playstore. Liftoff and thunder are big contenders but you have to d/l an apk and install it. Sync is building a lemmy app but it will be a couple of weeks. Jeroba is the official but connect and the others are better.

Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.

RIF is still working for me, at least for now. Dreading the moment when it stops. RIF has legit been a part of my life for like 3 years.

Not bad. They just need the page to stop automatically bumping posts down every 3 seconds and this site will be perfectly fine as a replacement

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

This is fixed now, they deployed 0.18

Hello, fellower RIF users.

Time to see what this place has. Kinda like moving into a new house.

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

RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.

made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here

For now, jerboa is a decent working alternative as an app for lemmy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't get logged in through Jerboa. It keeps saying my server is on too low of a version.

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

Same here.

Seems to be an update issue on the lemmy.world side. In the meantime I'm giving connect for lemmy a shot.

So far, so good.

The king is dead, long live the king!

One of my last posts on reddit, one of my first upvotes (and now, my first comment) here. Seems fitting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm proud to be done with reddit. I'm eagerly exploring my new addiction. I'm a lemon head.
