I still miss rif 😭
I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.
This method stopped working for me 2 months ago. Something to do with headers (browser-agent), but didn’t bother fixing
Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.
All of it. Failed to load any content from reddit.

Relay for me
Jerboa has served well as the replacement for me.
It’s my spirit animal, I almost had to pick this one. :)
Was looking up tracks in a field guide the other day and ran across this super cute rodent, The Mountain Beaver.
Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died
Wow, it’s been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers
I stopped using RIF when the dumbass who developed it started whining about open source and monetary remuneration. The app became popular in large part because it was open source.
It’s just like the nutsack who founded GitHub. A literal GPLv2 program and the guy got super rich and famous, then extolled the virtues of using lax permissive licenses. Absolute tool.
Sync was always better
best thing i did on reddit was leaving and coming to lemmy.
I created an account two years ago, but was using boost and it kept working up until a few months ago. The combination of Boost not working and Nazis taking over Reddit so even the desktop old reddit was pointless to use.
Now I use Boost for Lemmy for mobile.
Honestly Lemmy has been way better for me for my phone habits. Just enough content but not too much
Eventually, that’s going to change.
I dunno… every mainstream normie I’ve ever told about Lemmy gets enormously turned off by the tankie content here. Yeah you can block it, but why should they when Reddit caters to a more centrist audience, they seem to think. We are a Nazi bar here and that’s going to be a problem for a long while.
It didn’t help that I did not realize that a Google search pulls up Lemmy.ml as the top instance, and that it shows only Local content by default to a guest user. Thus it substantially helps to point to a specific Lemmy instance rather than tell people to check out just “Lemmy”, although lemm.ee was one of the top recommendations there so now that’s going to be confusing when people read old posts and comments.
Happy anniversary from Mbin!
It makes me a bit upset that the developer of RIF didn’t make a Lemmy alternative. They instead went to Tildes, which, when I tried to check it out was not open to public registration. IDK if that changed, but I have not even heard a single person ever mention it outside of those early days after the API changes were announced and people were looking for alternatives.
I want LIF. 😩
I’m on Tildes, and it’s a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.
Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It’s even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.
Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.
and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.
So true lol
Only a communist deals in absolutes! … wait… thats not it…
I can’t keep up with all the various instance wars/feuds but they are amusing nonetheless.
There really is no comparison, Tildes has a few hundred to thousand active people (looks like about 20 posts a day… across the entire site), and is run by a single guy with very particular ideas about what people are allowed to say and do on his site.
Lemmy meanwhile has roughly 50k users and I would guess hundreds to thousands of posts per day, even if not millions like Reddit that allows more niches to develop.
Oh ya what happened to that site?
tap tap tapTildes is currently in invite-only alpha, and you must be invited to be able to register.
I assume all the elitists complaining about the eternal september (including the 20 years olds) have sequestered themselves there which is best for everyone.
I complain about Eternal September and I’m still here, on the cooler platform with the cooler people… 🥺
Congrats Lemmy. Way better than Reddit shit show.
obligatory fuck spez and the corpos
Yes. I never used RIF. I’m simply concerned about who controls my media.
10 years on reddit but when they fucked over the Apollo dev I had no problem giving him a couple bucks for the app and moving to Lemmy, haven’t looked back.
Oh man I’m still not over that. Such a stupid decision on Reddit’s part.
Hey, at least it brought us here. And now that Lemm.ee is going away I’m doing this whole thing again.
Yeah I’m so glad that many people felt strongly enough about it to populate this platform!
I’m so sad about lemm.ee!!! That was the first instance I joined! That was my home for, wow, 2 years. But I’m still sticking with Lemmy. Just had to find myself a new home base.
Not really: the Export+Import feature should make migration a breeze this time, and you’ll still see all your old posts and stuff (you won’t be able to edit them anymore though).
Switching from centralized Reddit to decentralized Threadiverse will never need to happen again - I even switched away from Lemmy to PieFed (when the Import feature hadn’t been implemented yet) and it was still much easier.:-)
