if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that’ll come in the morning if so)
Same here. I tried a few times past midnight but there it went. End of an era - gonna be one hell of a difficult habit to go cold turkey on. Hopefully Lemmy can fill the void…
Other people have said the same, but Apollo was my most used App on my phone.
I find that during the day, I mainly browse Reddit on my phone, as I can’t stand not having RES on my work laptop. I’ll have to see what sort of adjustments I’ll have to make, as I was looking at using both Reddit (via browser on my laptop) and Lemmy (via wefwef on my phone) whilst the lemmy community gains a bit more traction.
Just got my push notification from Sync. “It’s been a hell of a ride.”
It actually hurt my soul a little to hit that uninstall button. Maybe I’ll try the Lemmy version when LJ makes it public. Don’t know. Kind of liking the alternatives purely because it feels like a fresh start without the reddit baggage.
I was up-to-date on everything and knew 3rd party apps were shutting down, but it still felt like it wasn’t going to happen. One of those ‘oh surely they won’t let it get that far’ moments, but nope. Poof. All gone.
Got the notification as well :(. Haven’t been on it since lemmy but it was still a sad feeling. I’ll definitely be trying out sync for lemmy when its released.
I’m struggling to do it too man ;_; I don’t want to let go… I want reddit to come to its senses. After all the shit we’ve been through in the past 4 years, this is like a swift kick right in the ribs while we were already curled up on the ground in agony.
First post! I just want to drop a hint to anyone else coming from Apollo — I just installed wefwef.app and, despite the weird name, it is insanely close to an exact replica. I’m honestly surprised a PWA can work this well.
Ah, right — try wefwef.app, and be sure to install to your Home Screen to get the full benefits of the PWA capabilities (check the settings tab, or if on iOS, tap the “share” icon in safari and select that option).
Updated my original comment with the link as well.
I’m using wefwef now, coming off of using Reddit Sync, and it’s delightfully intuitive. I’m super bummed about reddit imploding, but hey, at least we have a new place.
It’s like how every time there’s a group chat, it spontaneously spawns a new, smaller group chat “without the annoying people”.
That is much more likely to be a problem with your server, not the PWA, simply because it is just a client-side web app. Are you on one of the large servers? I’m hearing they’re struggling to service the influx of users.
Although, I suppose it could be exacerbated by the app potentially requesting more from your server than the basic lemmy frontend does.
I didn’t really follow the recent “drama” (for lack of a better term), but I’m glad it came about because it created a lot of buzz on hackernews about reddit alternatives which got me to check out the Fediverse (kbin/lemmy), and a few other alternatives. I really like the look and feel of Discuit, but it’s inevitable for it to become essentially another digg v4/reddit 2.0 clone because apart from a nice UI and the creator/owner not being a dick, it’s still a centralised forum that will limit or censor discussion at the whims of the owner in the end. I don’t want that.
It was so very fun to use third-party apps for Reddit until the last day. Today will be the new dawn for kbin and Lemmy apps. Reddit before, now Threadiverse.
oh, the teddit thing looks neat, like a perfect backhand slap. good enough to just see and not interacting. I didn’t know how much history on reddit until I run the power delete suite script, it just keeps going. 9 years sure has a lot of stuff on it. XD
Yep, Teddit works well for me because I don’t have a Reddit account. It’s quick and privacy respecting. I think I may have found it through the Privacy Redirect extension for Firefox.
I can’t help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting “sexy” pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting “sexy” pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁
It forces Reddit’s hand even more IMO; if you start forcing a sub to stay on a certain topic by admin order (and not by mod’s / community “owner” choice), it really sets a weird tone for the community
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
I feel the same way now that I did when I quit World of Warcraft, and started playing Final Fantasy XIV. My favourite app is gone, destroyed by greed.
I’m hoping Lemmy can do for me what Final Fantasy did.
Relay is still working for me, including NSFW content:

I just wanted to say thank you for this, hopefully it helps to clean up the clutter from this community.
I like my fediverse like my house… cluttered with the same content spread everywhere
RIF no longer showing content for me :( It’s over. 6 years of being my most used app on my phone
Same. It just says 429 for me. I can’t believe it’s really gone!
Same here. I tried a few times past midnight but there it went. End of an era - gonna be one hell of a difficult habit to go cold turkey on. Hopefully Lemmy can fill the void…
Same seeing 429 😢
Rest In Pieces reddit
I just fired up Apollo for the first time in two weeks to see if things loaded, and it’s crashing instantly.
Other people have said the same, but Apollo was my most used App on my phone.
I find that during the day, I mainly browse Reddit on my phone, as I can’t stand not having RES on my work laptop. I’ll have to see what sort of adjustments I’ll have to make, as I was looking at using both Reddit (via browser on my laptop) and Lemmy (via wefwef on my phone) whilst the lemmy community gains a bit more traction.
Is there a countdown on when RIF will stop working? Is it based on midnight GMT? EST? PST? CST?
It’s dead for me right now. I’ll miss her.
Lol set up a countdown website like its New Year’s Eve
Fuck Spez

I’m not uninstalling rif. It’s going to sit there until I get a new phone.
I was up-to-date on everything and knew 3rd party apps were shutting down, but it still felt like it wasn’t going to happen. One of those ‘oh surely they won’t let it get that far’ moments, but nope. Poof. All gone.

Bought the full version like 10 years ago because, funnily enough I didn’t want ads when browsing Reddit.
I’m loving the organized chaos over here better.

I don’t know how to accept this “reality”…
Welp, Sync Pro just went dark for me. Guess I’m done with Reddit.
My friend mentioned Reddit is Fun is shut down now. Sad day 😔
First post! I just want to drop a hint to anyone else coming from Apollo — I just installed wefwef.app and, despite the weird name, it is insanely close to an exact replica. I’m honestly surprised a PWA can work this well.
Also,
FUCK SPEZ
RISE LEMMY
Where does one find wefwef? A quick search didn’t give me anything obvious, and it’s not on the app store
Ah, right — try wefwef.app, and be sure to install to your Home Screen to get the full benefits of the PWA capabilities (check the settings tab, or if on iOS, tap the “share” icon in safari and select that option).
Updated my original comment with the link as well.
Its not a native app, basically an alternative web view, that you can add to your homescreen

I can’t get it to load any comments :(

Yes, using this right now and it’s helping me feel like I’m still on Reddit. :)
RIP Sync for reddit 😢 I hope Sync for Lemmy will be even better!!

Unsure if this is off-topic for this thread so feel free to delete if that’s the case.
/r/firefox now looks like this.

Unfortunately teddit and libreddit rely on the API so many instances may break tomorrow
I think you’re probably correct.

It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃

If admins want to force certain subs to stay on certain topics, they can moderate them by their own f#ckin’ selves.
