Reddit Is Fun was the only way I browsed Reddit on mobile. The mobile app is crap and doesn’t actually properly load posts. I get down a few scrolls and it ends like there isn’t anything else to view.

How do we get the Reddit is Fun guy to make Lemmy is Bester‽
RIF was such a good app. Hopefully Jerboa will get there, and Lemmy, as a whole, will get to a comparable state. Already liking Jerboa a lot honestly. RIF will of course be missed though
I think Third Party Reddit apps are going to become the norm for Lemmy. I know that at least Sync’s developer is looking into supporting Lemmy with their app. I love Sync, so that would be great for me. Hopefully other apps follow.
Fuck /u/spez
Started on Reddit with the RiF app back in 2013 I believe. Only way I ever browsed Reddit really, didn’t bother much on PC unless I was making a larger post.
I’m happy to be ditching Reddit and trying something new here. Currently using Jerboa app. So far not too bad. Starting to understand how all this works!
Let’s be honest, this price change was all about being able to charge the big corps mega money for access to their data in order to train new generations of AI. The price is absurd, yes, but the owners of reddit know that Google and Microsoft have deep pockets (among other global corps wanting the massive amount of data reddit has saved).
They never expected the third party apps to be able to pay this much and frankly, they don’t care. It’s HUGE profit from AI corps, and the losses, at least short term, will be overshadowed by the gains. Long term? I don’t know, this isn’t my area of expertise, but, like I did with Twitter, I have moved on so at this point, it’s no longer relevant to me.
RIF is all I ever used, too. I’ll miss it!
Why is this mildly infuriating? I’d put it in a community called maddening or even redditsucks or something lol
I mostly used Sync for Reddit until I recently switched to iPhone and then Apollo. Both fantastic apps.
+1 been a Sync user for probably over 10 years… It’s been an app I’ve opened near daily since then too, I’ll miss it.
I went from Alien Blue to Apollo. Fuck reddit for killing great apps.
Yup, same here. Really sucks to see them give so few fucks about their user base. Oh well, time to switch.
I just installed Jerboa and it totally kicks ass! I will miss rif but with such a nice replacement I can just comfortably switch to lemmy
Jerboa won’t accept my login. Frustrating
It works okay, It’s the servers that are following over.
