cuz i was banned from reddit
When Reddit said they were gonna disable 3rd party apps, I left when we all said we were gonna leave. They never changed course, so I never changed course 🤷.
Apollo on iPhone for me.
Same thing here for me now I use Eternity. Barely look at the Warframe sub sometimes but I don’t post anything. Sometimes I have a problem and they have the solution or something.
Reddit killed “rif is reddit is fun for reddit” or whatever it was called
This right fucking here. Never forget. o7
I wanted a place where I would be bombarded with constant mentions of Star Trek and Linux
please … tell me the enterprise ship board computers run on Linux
They killed the third party app I used and the dev migrated it to Lemmy
The Reddit app was (and probably still is) a horrendous cacophony of dark patterns, so Reddit died that day for me because there was no longer a way for me to use it on my phone that wouldn’t give me an aneurism
Reddit blocked 3rd party apps and I’m a principled man.
The killing off of third party apps was the thing for me. Weirdly enough, it was only after I stopped using Reddit that I began to see all the other shitty things they were beginning to do.
I don’t miss it at all. It was fucking shite.
When reddit announced API changes. Glad I left because it is a hellhole now
Like many others here, I moved during the API-calypse. I tried giving the official app a try but it won’t let me log in event though on the website everything worked. When they even can’t get the login right, what else will wait for me when I finally manage to log in? During the period, when RiF still worked I saw feddit, switched there and am still happy here years later.
I love decentralization and I hate Reddit. The Venn diagram overlaps in Lemmy.
Also fuck u/spez
Reddit killed the RiF app so here I am
Oh man, I miss that app. I still haven’t uninstalled it. What do you use for Lemmy? I’m using Sync.
Voyager has been working great for me
Boost has been the closest to RiF I feel, from a common user experience at least.
I haven’t tried Boost, but I’ll give it a try tonight! Thanks for the tip!
I paid the lifetime membership for Sync bc I wanted to support the dev and liked the app. Then I discovered the dev abandoned it 2 years ago.
I use Voyager now.
When I couldn’t use reddit is fun anymore, reddit wasn’t fun.
I joined when reddit killed third party apps, and then compared the existing volunteer mod teams that was following what their revolting user-base wanted, to a landed gentry while also threatening to reopen closed reddit’s that had voted via their user-base to close in regards to this protest.
I came across the link in a protest forum, saw the general flow of tech based things and decided to give it a try.
I banned reddit
Because of the API changes made during July of 2023 killing my Reddit app of choice (RIF is fun), their own first party app being garbage, and Reddit’s CEO lying about a conversation with another third party app developer (the developer of Apollo I think).
Freedom.
reddit is authoritarian, and my ideology is anti-authoritarian and pro-decentralization and its just natural for me
Didn’t really care for the 3rd party apps, I use brower anyways… but then again, Fediverse allows Tor and mobile browser UI is kinda great tbh, no annoying “dOwNlOaD oUr aPp” bullshit, fucking modern websites are so annoying, just let me use the browser, I don’t want an app for everything lol
