Welcome to the fediverse!
First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome
I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I’m doing.
Bathroom’s that way.
I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg’s terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.
When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That’s super important for my quality use experience.
It’s nice to be wanted.

Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.
I’ve been full-time on a Lemmy for nearly a month already and haven’t really missed the other place at all. But damn, seeing that goodbye message on RIF yesterday filled me with emotions that were weird and deeply confusing.
Yeah man I used RIF as my only reddit access for 12 years. So when reddit was going hard with avatars, rewards and ads, I was immune to it. I think that’s partially why 3rd parties were cut out. I did the revanced reddit app, but it still feels gross.
Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.
Same here. Rest in peace RIF.
rest in feace
Connect for Lemmy seems like a pretty good app so far, feels decently similar to RIF.
I’ve been here a week or two now. It’s going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.
My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.
I’m going to build my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!
Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!
Hello rif ppl. Let’s make this home! I’m still adjusting but I’ll give it a shot!
They shut my BaconReader off this evening so I’m also a refugee. Also just learning the ropes!
Im going to miss BaconReader :( at least my cholesterol will be more manageable now.
Hey, listen, Skippy. I was supposed to be unfrozen in Hollywood for the thousandth anniversary screening of jury Duty 2.
