Rif somehow shielded me from all the fuckery that was happening in Reddit, when I finally tried the mobile app and website from longer than 2 mins, I was like, oh yeah, ah, ok, bye
Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.
their mobile app isn't even their own base code. they bought out Alien Blue, which was one of the earliest and arguably best mobile apps for Reddit, and relaunched it as their own. all they had to do was not fuck that one up and they would have straight up driven the other popup 3rd party apps out of business by just being good and official. but of course, reddit must always rise to their incompetence.
It's so painful to look at anymore, lol.
Old reddit does the same thing on desktop but if that goes away I'll be fully done with it. As it is I am about an 80/20 split between lemmy and reddit now so it's probably going to happen regardless but that would speed things up.
Ya, sadly there is still a lot of useful content in the technical subreddits. So I find myself ending up there via search engines on a fairly regular basis. But, I specifically use the Redirector plugin for Firefox to auto-magically force the use of old Reddit. If I hit the site on my work computer, I'm quickly reminded about why I quit the site.
Oldlander on ff mobile. And same.
RIF was so cleannnn. Sync for Lemmy has been just as good. Tried some of the early ones like Jerboa but none of them replicated the vibe
Currently using Thunder as a mobile lent client. Working out well so far.
