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

🥂 It's still installed on my phone and it opens every time I click a reddt link
Shit, it's been 2 years already? Damn. I still get bummed over RiF when I think about it.

I was one of those RIF users that left two years ago and now I have to start over since lemm.ee is shutting down. Can anyone recommend a good instance?
I've been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.
Seconded. It's pretty chill here.

I moved to sopuli.xyz, which is also run from the Baltics (Finland).

I told reddit I wouldn't be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn't deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought "this is ok, but I don't think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day."
But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there's enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we're not just screaming into the void.
So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!
Same, cant believe it was 2 years ago. I was really bummed when it happened.i had been on reddit for almost 15 years at that point.

This is exactly when and why I stopped using Reddit permanently and switched to Lemmy. If you run out of "Active" content here, try switching to "Hot". And then "New"!
Or just go outside and touch grass. Running out of content means that you should do something else.

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

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

Oh man I'm still not over that. Such a stupid decision on Reddit's part.
Hey, at least it brought us here. And now that Lemm.ee is going away I'm doing this whole thing again.
Not really: the Export+Import feature should make migration a breeze this time, and you'll still see all your old posts and stuff (you won't be able to edit them anymore though).
Switching from centralized Reddit to decentralized Threadiverse will never need to happen again - I even switched away from Lemmy to PieFed (when the Import feature hadn't been implemented yet) and it was still much easier.:-)

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.
For much of reddit's best years, RiF was my top app.
I joined when Apollo went silent. Coincidentally, I'm wearing my Clipollo t-shirt as I type this.

Piling on another comment to say that lurking here feels much nicer than on reddit. The comments are actually worth reading a lot of the time. RiF going down was a dark day, but Jerboa and Lemmy make everything light.

It's already been 2 years?? Damn
Still using rif today,
Checkout revanced.
Ads free youtube and patching rif to work with your api key
Wasn't RIF fir me, it was Apollo. But same general reason!
Some niche communities I miss (I know, I know. Make them! I'm a follower not a leader, and my schedule is bad enough already. I have substitutes). But overall Lemmy good.
I'm here for news and shitposts and random TILs.
Fuck Spez!
