No respect for the OG. RIP RiF.

I still have the app on my phone. After over a decade of use, I can't bear to uninstall. Seeing it's icon is like seeing a loved one's ashes in my living room.

You can patch your own api key into it with revanced manager

I first got that app in 2012, didn't realize it had been so long, jesus

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I bought rif premium after they announced the api change, used it for so long. Probably wont delete it for a long time.

It's so fucking good. I thought I missed Reddit. No, I missed Sync!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Sync is GOAT. IMO using the app makes me somehow want to comment more than what I expected.

As a German this scenario is both unrealistic and at the same time devastating

Personally I never used any 3rd party reddit clients because I avoid apps in general, and was really used to the old.reddit dating back to 2008 or so. However, I did give up on reddit finally based on the API issue, I had a successful API app based on another site years ago, and the way Splez acted was pretty much the same nonsense we were subjected to. We made something that the site members loved, and were able to eke out a decent living by developing and supporting it. We were always dealing with the site changing things, and the CEO had this attitude like we were interloper parasites making money from his property. We had the rug pulled out from under us multiple times with changes to the site, bugs, performance problems and unannounced feature cancellations. At the same time, their members told us our web app was the best, it enabled them to use the site and filled in huge gaps in the official offerings, and please don't ever change it. So, to see Reddit act that way to API developers was unacceptable.

I use them with Revanced. Sorry Lemmy, but you're not even close to Reddit's content quality. You're improving though.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Lemmy. It's just like reddit from when I joined in 2012. With Sync for Lemmy, it's easy to use as well

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is a great platform considering how new it is, but the conversation is still majorly about being on Lemmy and how Reddit = bad, and the Fediverse. It's very fatiguing.

Slide for Lemmy is in development

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reddit banned my account for "Abusing the report button", and still won't unban it. I still miss reddit because Lemmy doesn't have enough interest specific forums.

I need to talk to someone about Mortal Kombat and Sonic!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They banned me for saying child molesters deserved to die. Meanwhile there's all kinds of other threads with people saying the same shit about other way less bad demographics and nothing happens to them... Hmmmmmm.

And for a reasonable subscription price! It's just a shame that we know it goes straight to reddit, so I'm not gonna do that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

The only reasonable subscription price to use a website you provide content for is free.

Isn't the price based on how much you interact with the site?

Gonna be a no from me.

Infinity isn't there, cuz it lives on on Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Infinity for Reddit actually still works.

We’re still on this?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On the other hand we now have Lemmy 3rd party clients and hopefully publicly available Kbin clients soon

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dev of Boost for Reddit says he's working on a Lemmy version, but it is as of yet unreleased.

That's why I'm running Lemmy on Sync for Lemmy. Absolutely beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Infinity, noooooo!!!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed but I'm almost glad that happened since I'm off Reddit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I miss the local community Reddit has/had - meaning vibrant town/city subreddits. The one for my town here on Lemmy is just one dude (@ickplant you’re doing your best) but it just doesn’t have the critical mass.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You're my boy @ickplant

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a former Boost for Reddit user, Ive already set up to automatically download their Lemmy app when it drops.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the meantime you should check out Sync- writing you from it now :)

You can still get those apps to work by injecting personal API key into the app.

I'm still quietly using a 3rd party app for my limited Reddit visits as I am a moderator for a sub with no content.

I write this from my Sync for Lemmy client. Hopefully soon Boost for Lemmy will be out too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't want to be the one spoiling the party, but infinity for reddit still works.
