thanks for everything you’re doing man

They also could have saved money by remaining a link aggregator/discussion board instead of deciding to host media as well. Any surge in costs is their own fault.

If they were worried about money, then they should have remained a link aggregation/discussion board site instead of hosting media themselves.

Seems like no matter what, the communities that were on reddit are fragmented. Some people stay on reddit, some quit social media, and some get scattered across two dozen lemmy instances. What a shame.

I’m warming up to it, but I’m not a fan of the auto-refresh and links moving right as I want to click them

You’re right. After almost a decade and a half on reddit, I’d forgotten that it also had a learning curve when I first came across it.

I guess that speaks to how terrible the official reddit app is, I’d rather learn a whole new site with a whole new framework than view reddit without RiF is Fun.

I’m with you, I’ve been using RiF around a decade now. I’ll probably occasionally use old.reddit if I need help with a google search, but it won’t be something I reflexively check anymore. I hope all the fragmented communities can find each other again on here.

If Meta or Google tries to buy your instance, you can migrate to another one. They can’t buy them all up.

Is it bad I’d like to see some more

Love it, he’s so cute! My female weenie dog will just sit up and chill like that too
