Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.
No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

Rest in Power RiF. Time to figure out Lemmy
There’s a ton of awesome apps in development, it’s only gonna get better! Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on:

Reddit was fun, now it's Lemmy's turn
Yeah I’m trying to figure out Lemmy as well!
wefwef.app, Thunder, Connect, and Liftoff are already amazing btw. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy are in the works.
Jerboa actually gives off RiF vibes for me, though it's definitely still its own thing.
On pc use this to make it look a bit more like old.reddit. I hope tweaks like this get combined into a single extension later like RES
I used snyc for Reddit and would absolutely buy it again for lemmy.

I'm using Memmy (https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy) and even though it's still in testflight I'm socked with the vast amount of updates, you get pretty much one a day and features are building up very quickly. It gives me a similar experience as Apollo used to. RIP Apollo

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.

Rif refugee reporting in
Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.
everything will be replaced eventually in time but whether lemmy will replace reddit (in this case) is the question.
I don’t think Lemmy will replace Reddit, just like Mastodon didn’t replace Twitter. But I think we can build them into great alternatives for people who want to avoid using the big corporate originals (like me).

Let's go.
Reddit is dead to me anyways.
It’s been a very chill and peaceful switch, once I get used to the change I plan on helping any way I can to help the community grow. We can rebuild together 🖖
Same. I’m posting more because these are real communities on a platform that isn’t run by a bunch of corporate pricks. It’s real community. Not a business.

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.
I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I'm not involved, but I appreciate it
I'm not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.
Never.
Ever.

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/
I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

Can see clearly, this server is much slower than yesterday, like if thousands of users are switching here

Fyi the real member count is almost 20k; the sidebar only shows how many are subscribed to it from your instance.
It shows 360 from vlemmy.net for example.

got my data takeout request from reddit just in time
ran powerdelete suite to delete everything
it took almost 3 weeks to process the data takeout request, that means it is computationally expensive, everyone should ask for it to send a signal
Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD
I highly recommend https://wefwef.app/ You don't even have to download it, it looks almost exactly like Apollo. But there's a bunch of other apps that look like RIF, Sync, etc. to make the browsing more pleasant and usable/familiar.

A few last minute loopholes were carved in according to comments in this post
- some apps have gotten a temporary reprieve such as Narwhal
- Some apps have gotten an exception for access for visually impaired.
- the NSFW block is exempt for mods so if you start your own sub, you can still see all content or so it seems (I’m not quite sure because Narwhal still seems fully functional in this regard and I am not a mod)

Hope it happens but most of the content posted here seems to be about people complaining about Reddit. So right now not to hopeful.
Reddit was the same when we migrated from digg. It will get better. :)
It's gotten less reddit heavy over the past couple weeks, and will probably get more reddit heavy for a bit, before eventually normalizing into the tone it always will be. People have just lost something they spent a lot of time on and they kinda need to talk it out

Rip sync
Getting that "it's been a hell of a ride" notification made it feel too real.

I'm dropping Reddit completely in a social aspect. I'll definitely be using it for the treasure trove of information it contains.
Bonus, looks like the reddit I joined
did all of them stopped working already 😔 ?
The ReVanced team have stolen the API keys from the actual Reddit app and have made patchers available for a number of Reddit apps including Sync & RiF. You'll need a fresh copy of the APK and ReVanced manager:

Apparently a bunch of automods have shut down too, can’t confirm that but that would be hilarious

Never really posted on reddit, but enjoyed scrolling on Apollo to while away the time. Sad to see it go, but excited to see what Lemmy has in store.
