Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

    Can’t speak for anyone else, but as soon as RIF died I was gone. Was on it for over 10 years, and the only way I would view reddit content. Reddit’s ui is cancer.

      100%, no RIF no Reddit. I still hope for LIF to be a thing, especially after seeing old.lemmy.world

        Finally took the plunge and scrubbed and deleted my reddit account. I’m officially all in on fediverse/Lemmy.

        Honestly, as attached as I was to the RIF style after using it for a decade like OP, I have to say that I think the design of Connect is really damn good. Especially when you consider how early in the game it is right now for the Fediverse as a whole. The more modern design, features, and generally slick look to everything got me hooked immediately. Honestly, the only thing I don’t really like about Connect is the App logo on my phone 🙃

      This was me for Boost. Had an account for awhile before I aurally used it because I wasn’t aware of third party apps and found the official one or web page a chore to go through. Then went with Boost after trying a few and I was on Reddit daily. Mostly a lurker. Already some of the Lemmy apps are better than the official reddit app and Boost is coming some time as well.

      Strangely, RiF works again for browsing

          Same but if you Google some technical advice on reddit it will open in RiF. Which still works great for that purpose.
