      My view for a short forever. I still have it available in the hopes that they either reverse course or refeature it to target a different platform

      That won’t happen though. Still trying to get into Tildes where he went, hoping for the same app experience.

      I haven’t had the heart to uninstall it yet. I moved the jerboa app into its spot on my home screen, though.

    I’m a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it’s gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.

    The Fediverse has been really cool and I’m glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I’ve found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!

        • If you’re on android: I’d recommend checking out Summit for Lemmy. The layout reminds me of RIF!

        • Try to participate. Let’s build a community. This “mass exodus” from reddit is different than previous ones. A majority of power users that made Reddit what it was have either quit or are now on the fediverse.

          Oh that’s very slick, I like that.

        I’m using Connect for Lemmy. Has all I need. I never used an app for reddit though was always on mobile web, which isn’t so good for lemmy

        I stated using Jerboa*, which feels a little similar in spirit. Had to jump trough some hoops though, as your login server needs at least version 0.18 to work.

          Jerboa was ok, but things started to irritate me so I found Liftoff, which was a much more polished app. Currently using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to my original Reddit app

    I’ll be keeping installed. Not to hold out hope, but for the memories of good times.

    It probably drained more battery then anything else. RIP GOOD FRIEND

    I took a last screenshot of Apollo and its final announcement but I haven’t deleted the app.

    I did replaced the Home Screen icon with WefWef and it feels very great now , almost like home.

      Infinity is still working for a lot of people it seems… just checked myself and even NSFW stuff loads fine? Not sure what’s going on behind the scenes. I also haven’t updated since the announcement
