Damn, time to actually stop using reddit I guess. I wish I could say Lemmy scratches the itch, but there just aren’t any of the communities I care about here. Just seems like there are a bunch of awful memes and copies of my least favorite subreddits.
I had better luck after I started searching for specific communities no matter which instance they were on, and blocking communities and bots.
Also, change sorting options to Top Hour or Top 3 Hours. The sorting by Hot or Active just doesn’t work very well yet.
Try checking out some other instances. Sh.itjust.works has some good stuff on it. I searched for Lemmy alternatives for reddit and found a few different instances that mostly scratch my itch.
There’s definitely less content than on Reddit but I was able to find replacements for pretty much everything I was following, including niche stuff. And the less content is a plus too, gets me off my phone.
Be the change you want to see. Start a community!
I just found out you can patch RIF using revanced manager so now I’m back haha. it feels like going back to an abusive ex but damn does it feel good
Be the change ypu want to be! Create those communities! Add content to those communities! In some time those communities will grow!
I was doing the same thing. I didn’t realize how crappy Reddit had become until I was forced to look at Popular instead of my custom subreddits. Oh well, I was still using RIF to keep up on a couple of subreddits, but honestly, I’ve been making a lot better use of my free time, so maybe it’s good for me for it to be gone for good
Popular is the future of Reddit.
They will put in effort to kill small communities.
Same. I guess it’s time to pretty much cut out Reddit during the day.
Edit: thinking about it, probably most of the night too since I’m not on the computer all that much once work is over and if I am it’s because I’m gaming or working on side projects.
Good night Reddit, it was good whole Huffman didn’t fuck it up.
Reddit itself is also down right now. Are we sure that’s not the issue?
I was using RiF through Revanced and it logged me out and trying to log back in threw a User-Agent error. Reddit on web went down about 15 minutes later. It seems an unlikely error to be thrown before the site goes down (I’ve never seen using RiF legitimately).
Nah, it’s back up, and RIF still doesn’t work now.
Pretty bummed about that, but at least Sync seems like a good app.
I’ve noticed reddit getting worse and worse content since the API changes. I’ve had to filter like 6 different “rate me” subs that kept appearing on my feed.
Reddit is back up and RIF still not working for me
Now RIF is working again for me
I thought it stopped July 1st? I stopped using RiF in mid June. I wanted the breakup to be on my terms lol.
It works with a Revanced patch.
Do you know if this is a somewhat permanent solution? I’d like to stick it to spez for being a dickhole, but I don’t think enough people actually cared to leave to make enough of an impact so if RIF will continue to work I would like to use it.
It’s not permanent, I had to reapply the patch today as well after it stopped working.
Since the original app isn’t updated anymore it’s a matter of time before Reddit changes something so drastic that we won’t be able to use it anymore. I’m happy about the timing of the Sync app for Lemmy though. It’s working great and way smoother than all the other apps. If RIF drops dead, I can stick with Lemmy now.
Well, reading this thread, it seems that it is not a permanent solution.
It’s working again.
And it’s gone again.
I like the Sync UI for now, but we need a LIF.
Could rebrand as LiFT: Lemmy is Fun Too!
With its egalitarian nature, people could get a LiFE - because Lemmy is For Everyone.
You know what, I think I like yours better.
I used RIF exclusively - just super simple. Any app out for Kbin/Lemmy that gives a similar experience?
Sync for lemmy just launched. It is the same as sync for Reddit which was my favorite. Awesome dev
Liftoff has been working pretty well for me.
Connect is pretty similar. Slightly different lay out but close enough to get the hang of in a couple of minutes
Former RiFfer here. Although I’m playing with Sync at the moment as I type this, I’ve gravitated toward Connect quite a lot. It’s not Rif but it feels familiar.
Yep, i started out on jerboa but it got too buggy for me. Stumbled upon connect and never looked back
Am in the same boat and am giving Sync for Lemmy a try right now … with this reply.
You’re going to get spammed with Sync responses, but to actually answer your question:
The closest I’ve found to an RIF like experience is Liftoff.
That sealed the deal for me to use sync for lemmy and migrate over
Same here. I was even using it with my actual account using Revanced. Ah well, good run while it lasted.
Press “F” to pay respects
Damn I secretly hoped it would just continue like that, I mean on the go I could have lived without being able to sign in, since I had most of my favourite subs bookmarked…
I guess it’s over.
Update revanced, it works now
