Shit, it's been 2 years already? Damn. I still get bummed over RiF when I think about it.

Rif somehow shielded me from all the fuckery that was happening in Reddit, when I finally tried the mobile app and website from longer than 2 mins, I was like, oh yeah, ah, ok, bye

WHERE THE FUCK IS LEMMY IS FUN
I was one of those RIF users that left two years ago and now I have to start over since lemm.ee is shutting down. Can anyone recommend a good instance?
sopuli and sh.itjust.works as others mentioned are good. I wanted to add a shout-out for discuss.online for anyone in the USA with fantastic uptime stats.
Also I'm a huge fan of PieFed, well worth checking out.:-)
Piefed was on my list as well. I'll look into discuss.online, thanks for the suggestion!

I've been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

i left july 3rd
This is exactly when and why I stopped using Reddit permanently and switched to Lemmy. If you run out of "Active" content here, try switching to "Hot". And then "New"!

didn't all 3rd party apps stop working
RIF still works with some twaks, you need to patch it with an API key similar to youtube vanced and then it works. though some people report the method stopped working recently. Any way its a lost cause.

I joined when Apollo went silent. Coincidentally, I'm wearing my Clipollo t-shirt as I type this.

Oh man I'm still not over that. Such a stupid decision on Reddit's part.

I told reddit I wouldn't be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn't deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.
Shutout to Thunder, another great client.

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.
For much of reddit's best years, RiF was my top app.
Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.
Mods especially had a harder time with the official app, so a lot of us left in solidarity with them & the app devs. :-)
It's already been 2 years?? Damn
Wasn't RIF fir me, it was Apollo. But same general reason!
Some niche communities I miss (I know, I know. Make them! I'm a follower not a leader, and my schedule is bad enough already. I have substitutes). But overall Lemmy good.
I'm here for news and shitposts and random TILs.
Fuck Spez!
