I created an account two years ago, but was using boost and it kept working up until a few months ago. The combination of Boost not working and Nazis taking over Reddit so even the desktop old reddit was pointless to use.

Now I use Boost for Lemmy for mobile.

Speaking of which, a recent Android update (I know I should change OSes) got rid of the little Lemmy.world web app icon thing I had installed and I haven't been able to get it back, so far. Does anyone know how to fix that? That was working great as my RIF replacement. I read it all again and I'm such a grandma. :(

Me too! Although I've mostly lurked this whole time until I finally made an acc this month

I still have rif on my phone for it's sentimental value. Two years ago it took a while to get used to opening Connect for Lemmy instead of rif.

I mean... Lemmy has always kinda felt more sane

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

It's been 2 years already?!

Same. I used the little picture widget to cycle adorable animal pictures all day on my home screen. The one little thing that gave me joy, fucking ruined by corporations. While I don't have a widget anymore, I at least have someplace I can talk for 5 minutes and have someone listen.

Sync FTW

It was great until the Dev abandoned it. It hasn't been updated in 15 months. 😡 😭

I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck

I loved that app and I still miss it (and reddit) in some ways, but the API Apocalypse was when I decided I had to take a moral stand and quit. No way was I going to be railroaded into the first-party app full of ads and nonsense.

I haven't looked back since.

Ditto.

🥂 It's still installed on my phone and it opens every time I click a reddt link

For me it was Apollo

[–] tavostator@feddit.org 11 points 7 hours ago

Apollo walked so Voyager could run

In 10 days my account will be 2 years old.

I've enjoyed it, and this has been one of my most visited websites during that time. But I'm still not sure I'll stick around after lemm.ee shuts down at the end of this month.

[–] Kevnyon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, had to move back to this instance because of that. I think that just shows how hard it is and how much funding it actually requires.

I loved RIF and was addicted to Reddit. But they dumped me and I am scorned and will never forgive reddit! Fuck reddit and I hope it dies.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Same same !

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Did anyone leave because they were banned? Because that was me.

[–] nik9000@programming.dev 7 points 6 hours ago

We're two years out from the API apocalypse. I think. That's how I got here.
