    I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.

      Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.

        I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.

        On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.

          Reddit is Fun was among the first apps I installed on my first smart phone, way back in 2011. I thought, “oh reddit will come out with their own app eventually, I’ll just use this until that happens.” Turned out that 99% of my time spent on reddit over the last 12 years would be through RiF. I’m sad too, man. Lemmy seems pretty cool though

        I have a friend that still uses RIF. He says it isn’t down and hasn’t shut down. Is this true?

      I had a super busy week with work and moving then, so didin’t have time for reddit housekeeping, might need to go back to delete everything when I have the time

        If the tools don’t work anymore (did they need API access?), on desktop you can sort by top and delete those manually. Those are the high visibility ones anyway.

          That is my backup plan, I think I can purge most in a 30 min sitting

      I was doing the same and did a Power Delete Suite of my account. It’s going to take a while to get used to Lenny after 10 years at the other site.

      Same. I’ve completely adapted to Memmy and have left Reddit behind. So far the only thing I miss is the sports communities. But otherwise I feel no compulsion to browse Reddit.

        I am currently switching back and forth between Memmy, Mlem and Wefwef (which is getting renamed to Voyager soon). All apps are in active development and have their pros and cons.

      Exactly what I did. I added a handful of niche subs as RSS feeds to a reader just so I can keep up on stuff that I have no other way of seeing, but otherwise Reddit is died for me on 30th June

      Same for me. The day Apollo died was the day I quit. I’m starting to warm up to Lemmy more and more over time as it scratches that same itch.

      Same, the moment they started to announce Apollo was closing I started looking for alternatives and landed on lemmy.

      Testing a few apps, memmy is my favorite thus far.

      I thought I was going to stick around on desktop at least, but I’ve found myself using Lemmy instead. This is more fun.

      I completely left July 1st when Apollo shut down. The Memmey ap is really close to a replacement.

      Lemmy reminds me of old reddit and I like it much better.
