After 11 years on reddit, and seeing it completely lose its identity it was founded on, I am stoked to be a part of this and learn as I go about this improved alternative. I believe this is going to change social media, as the giants collapse on themselves.

Heyoooooo!

So glad you’re here! Agreed that Reddit has lost its way as a platform. I’m very excited to see how Lemmy develops! There were so many tech savvy people on Reddit I don’t doubt it comes on leaps and bounds in the coming months.

Thanks! I really hope this takes over, but it will take time and i am okay with that being slow and having a period where it is still small and organic as reddit when i first joined!

Yeah pretty wild to realize how much I used it when I went to delete it. So long…old friend 🥲

For sure I feel like my thumb is still looking for it every other time I close an app and am looking for something else to do!

How dope would it be if they made a rif for lemmy? I used rif for like 12 years.

If that doesn’t happen prior to MOASS I will track down the team and get them to build one afterwards (and backpay them for all my years with rif lol).

I heard Boost is working on a Lemmy app, which is great - but I liked RIF too.
