    My gosh that Reddit app icon is horrible. It looks like a terrible meme NFT or something. …Which was probably the aesthetic they were going for, to be clear.

    Makes me 'member these informative graphics on 4chan ~2008 that categorized users into oldfags, newfags and cancer. Anyone else 'member?

      Reddit made it unusable on mobile again.

      I use Firefox + unlock, but naturally it’s just slower and less convenient than rif.

      I use reddit a lot less now. Practically don’t use it on mobile as I noticed.

    Never used any of that clients always used offical New Reddit web client even on mobile. I moved to Lemmy because it’s FOSS. That’s all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I found a loop hole in the reddit-verse and am able to use bacon reader like its early 2023. I mourn the day this glitch in the matrix is removed from my devices. Until then, carry on!

    For me it’s not the app ecosystem. Reddit used to feel like it was a platform run by its community now its very company run and controlled.

    It really broke my heart. I loved Reddit, I was on it on RiF one my phone when I didn’t use my computer. It was great for finding all sorts of new stuff and it was genuinely fun. I’d had a few accounts for like a decade or something, but when they killed the alternate programs I just left and never looked back.

      I miss RIF, but it’s for the better. Lemmy moves too slow for me to doomscroll it forever, so I’ve started putting my phone down more.

      I’ve started reading books again, even in public, when I’m waiting for someone or something. My mind is slowing down and getting more peaceful.

      Yeah, i didn’t realize how much i relied in Reddit to keep me informed on sports. I barely know what’s going in with my favorite teams, let alone the leagues anymore. But i couldn’t use anything other than RiF to browse Reddit, so i was done as soon as they axed the third party apps.

        This is me on many topics. I am so uninformed over the last year.

        I love Lemmy, but I’m in a smaller bubble than I was before too. There are a lot less political opinions on here. People are outright hostile to anything that doesn’t fit in a narrow window, and though I mostly agree with what passes through that window, my idea of the world is off because of it. (Example, my wife uses Facebook. We both voted for Harris, but she was certain Trump would win. She was seeing what everyone was saying and I wasn’t. Imagine my surprise when she lost the election so terribly. My little bubble had me convinced he didn’t stand a chance.)

        I try occasionally to open Reddit. I know that Lemmy hates stock traders, but Reddit is where you get the best info on that. I’m a stay at home dad who contributes entirely by trading so I need to look at what people are researching from time to time.

        I just can’t stand the Reddit app. I can’t stand clicking on ads without realizing it because of how they blend it in.

        I can’t stand the kind of greed that led to the decision that killed third party apps.

        I miss it, but not bad enough to have a subpar experience on there. That, and I believe in a federated social media future. Tech companies are garbage.

          Being uninformed is ok as long as you pair it with knowing you’re uninformed.

          Our Stupid Monkey Branes aren’t designed to be filled with doom all day long, they’re designed to know a handful of people in our tribe. It’s not healthy the way we chase after trying to know everything about everything in order to satisfy ourselves that we’re informed.

    I pay the yearly subscription for Sync Pro, and I consider it a donation more than anything. I’ve gotten so many years out of that app, and the developer choosing to repurpose it to Lemmy made my transition here almost seamless from reddit.

      I’m the same, and had paid for it during the Reddit days of the app. I’m hesitant to pay a subscription this time around, though, since the creator has always left for months and come back with a flurry of updates - which is entirely up to them, but a turn-off for something I’ll pay for periodically.

      Sync is still my daily driver, and IMO few Lemmy clients come close.

      Wait, Sync for Lemmy is a subscription and not a one time purchase? Boost’s dev did a similar transition but only standard one time purchase there.

        There’s a one time purchase to remove ads and a subscription for features like machine translation or importing/exporting your communities. It’s $17 yearly or $100 lifetime

    What I used before leaving: copypasta

    (A bot allowed to replace all comments with an edit to avoid being farmed by reddit or sold to AI)

      I edited all my comments, then deleted all of my comments, then deleted my account and two-factor. Then Reddit restored my account and all it’s comments and I can’t remove them again cause no two-factor 🙃

      Jerboa is similar enough in my head. Though, if I could time travel and get the 2023 experience then I might see that I’m misremembering.

      I was hoping RiF’s dev would make an app for Lemmy. They did make one for Tildes though called three cheers for Tildes. I believe their username is talklittle.

      I miss Apollo. Voyager is nearly as great and is open source so it’s not all bad. Still miss it though…

          Interesting. Just looked at Mlem for a minute and for some reason the Voyager UI agrees with me more.

          The funny thing is Mlem offers higher contrast between different UI elements yet it is easier for me to differentiate between those elements in the lower contrast way that Voyager presents them.

      The writing was on the wall when reddit restricted buying awards in anything but the official app. For some reason, I even have a vivid recollection of where I was in the world when that went down.
