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! 🍻

        Same and I agree that reddit pushing off all 3rd party apps was a bad decision. I keep automatically opening the app before remembering it’s not going to work. Gonna take some time to get used to just using lemmy

          If you’re using a browser on your phone, you may be able to create an icon for getting into Lemmy directly and sticking it where RIF was.

    Another former RiF user here. Definitely miss the experience of using that app, and Lemmy is certainly new to me. Gonna take some getting used to but it will be interesting to hopefully see this place grow!

      Going from RIF to Connect for Lemmy feels like a fever dream at times. Still can’t believe RIF is really gone. Anyway Lemmy seems cool, I’m liking it so far.

        I’ll try connect tomorrow, but I just set up jerboa in android and it feels similar enough that I’m not upset

      I am testing out Jerboa, got a similar feel but missing a few creature comforts. Seems the developer is really working to update and smooth the roughness in the last month so I’m optimistic long term. I’d give it a try!

        Jerboa straight up won’t work for me (server version issue?). I figure I’ll just use the browser for a while and see what apps float to the top after the reddit exodus inspires more apps.

      My experience,

      Summit is the closest. It feels the best to me. But it’s barebones and has some hiccups. I had a comment post 14 times this morning. I have high hopes for this one though.

      Connect seems the most stable and works well.

      Jerboa and Liftoff both work well when they’re working. But they’ve had some bugs and I prefer Connect to them at this point.

      My recommendation is to use Connect until you get Lemmy figured out. Then try them all out.

      I’m using the wefwef.app for a bit today and I like it. Feels very close to RIF, yet you still are aware of the difference. One detail I like is auto-dark mode, and that comments and subsequent replies use colors to show thread height.

      Former RIF user. I tried jeroba but then switched to Connect for Lemmy. Jeroba didn’t quite feel right to me. So far I’m enjoying the UI of Connect.

      I gave jerboa a soft try but wasn’t thrilled with it. Hoping sync will be a good option when that becomes available.

    Tried the official app after 10 years of RIF and deleted it within minutes. Downloaded Connect and have been enjoying Lemmy a lot!Looks like I’ve joined the great migration!

    After 13 years on Reddit, mostly consumed through RIF and old.reddit, this is now my “frontpage of the internet”.

    Hi everybody. Make sure to actually start posting and commenting in other communities. I’ve seen so many posts about coming here from Reddit which is fine. But we can’t keep posting about only that.

      This right here. As much as I’ve been enjoying Lemmy, it’s also been hard to go strictly-Lemmy, because the active users currently here aren’t quite as deliciously trashy as some of the subreddits. Like, yeah, I’m a developer, yeah I’m a nerd, but you know what? I like makeup tutorials and talking crap about the Teen Mom franchise. I could descend to deep diving in all my guilty pleasures on Reddit, and it’s crickets over here in comparison.

      So…I’m trying. But it’ll only be as successful as the content we generate.

        I’ve seen content explode and I only joined and started having a look yesterday the instant RIF died. At first it was broken as shit, and there wasn’t much to look at. This morning, my front page pretty much resembles my front page on Reddit, except the numbers (points and comment counts) are smaller.

        Give it time. I remember back in 2007, Reddit was rough around the edges and didn’t have the billion users it has now. It will take time. Slowly but surely, unique communities will emerge.

          Absolutely true. It’s tough to be an early adopter sometimes though! I love the vibe here, but I’m really having to shift what my usual community hangouts are. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to myself in the ones I tried to get running, though one is at least limping along.

          But you’re right. Patience and persistence is how we get there.
