Honestly at this point I'm more the opposite. I want Lemmy and kbin to win, and I don't care much about Reddit losing or not. I think they're going to go on, just shittier. Just like Facebook and Twitter.

I don't need lemmy to "win". Winnng implies an agreed rule set and goals. What reddit admins want out of reddit and what I want out of an internet experience are completely different.
I moderate a subreddit that has zero traffic. I received my threatening letter yesterday saying that if I didn't re-open, there would be a follow up from reddit with what the next steps would be in the coming days.
I like to think that such DMs are not automatic but spez personally goes over private subs to threaten mods. Because the guy who edited user comments is just that petty.
But but, my app says reddit is fun they even have an acronym rif. Oh sorry that app doesn’t exist I must be thinking about something else.
I thought the acronym stands for "reddit is F*cked!"
You can swear here. Try it out: Fucked
But yeah, I'm going to miss RIF, it was the best way to use Reddit on Android :-/
Fuck going miss RIF. But glad to be here on Lemmy. Maybe we can get a Lemmy is Fun app.
Sadly, the Dev of RiF - talklittle went to Tildes.Net, which while open source and donation run, is not decentralized/federated
So unless someone else makes something similar or the talklittle also decited to use Lemmy at the same time, I'd say it's unlikely.
But currently there are around 10 apps in development for various platforms for lemmy - I myself will try Sync For Lemmy, along with any others I can find to see if I can find one that suits me better than Jerboa or a PWA. (Currently using both)
It's now all John Oliver as far as the eye can see.
Ah yes, the ol' "enemy of my enemy is my friend" approach.
