Some of my favorite subs have started going private already. I moved RiF out of the tray and replaced it with Jerboa.

I started my aggregated news with slashdot and fark. Moved to Digg after Kevin Rose announced it on TTV. went to Reddit at digg v2 because Reddit looked like diggv1. Went to rif when mobile usage passed my computer usage, now I'm here!

What's your story?

Anything been taken over by the admins and turned back on yet?

[-] SickIcarus@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Not that I can see, yet.

I haven't gone to Reddit for a few days now. I might go later to watch it all for entertainment.

[-] millionsofplayers@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

If you do, use teddit or something instead of actual reddit

[-] twistedtxb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh I didn't know about Jerboa. Loving it so far!

[-] speedycat2014@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Half the battle was finding something to put in the tray besides Reddit. Jerboa it is!

Strange, the Reddark site shows me a 404 error now, it worked previously.

Edit: nevermind it works again.

[-] lungdart@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

They got the hug of death. But they switched the domain to twitch and are live streaming the site locally.

That's one way to scale, hahaha.

[-] XLRV@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was just thinking about that, how ironic, the dying Reddit hug of death.

I think that's genius lol.

Well, about 6.5 years ago I found r/Grimdank and r/40klore…and r/Rabbits. I immediately fell in love with those communities.

I first started on the browser and the official App. But the App sucked (shocker I know) and I switched to RIF. Wonderful App.

Half a year ago I switched to Apple for the first time and found Apollo. Fantastic App.

I can’t give less of a shit about Reddit itself. But I hope the communities I grew to love will do fine or maybe even come here too.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Almost the same path for me, except I never bothered with Digg. Just went directly from Fark & /. to Reddit

Now I'm hoping some of the active contributors to my loca subreddit show up here.

[-] Illegal_Seafood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I migrated from Digg to reddit like 12 years ago. Now migrated to Lemmy and I’m on Tildes too, but I am definitely leaning toward Lemmy so far. I’m using the mobile site for Lemmy, but was wondering if there’s a good app for iOS. I loved Apollo and am so sad that it’s going down, although I totally understand why Christian is nuking it. Is Jerboa only for Android? Is there a decent app available for Lemmy on iOS?

[-] z2k_@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Mlem is the iOS app but it’s currently in TestFlight

[-] lungdart@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's Android only. Sorry my dude

[-] griffen62@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mlem is the Jerboa equivalent for iOS, though i don't have any personal experience with it.

Info found on the official Lemmy site: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

I have Reddark open on my laptop while doing chores. Listening to it ding every few minutes is cathartic.

[-] Billy_Gnosis@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Is this even accurate? I can still view these sites and there are current posts being added

[-] lungdart@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I would assume it is. I'm not the admin, I don't really know how it works.

[-] oryx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I joined Reddit in 2015 after some Destiny creators mentioned it somewhere as an alternative to the Bungie forums. Been a daily user ever since. I joined in Windows Phone, which only had third party apps, so I've literally never used the official app. When I switched to Android in 2017 I believe it was, I downloaded Sync because it was most similar to the app I used before (I can't remember what app it was on Windows).

And now I'm here.

[-] tallwookie@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

much the same - visiting various news & sci/tech sites manually, then link aggregators digg/reddit. infinity was my favorite 3rd party app - now using jerboa for mobile use of lemmy. jerboa has some issues and there needs to be more mobile apps but that issue will resolve itself in time

[-] janeshep@feddit.it 0 points 1 year ago

I'm surprised r/libertarian is joining...

[-] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

I discovered reddit for myself about 3ish years ago, I don't even remember how. Used the official app and still don't know why people shitting on it so much, the app itself is fine, like not smooth or especially pleasant to use but fine. So yeah, been using it daily - reading cool tech posts, watching dunk memes, asking dumb questions - all the good stuff. Saw the shitshow - decided it's time to leave, saw Lemmy as an alternative - decided to join. Jerboa is fine, the plan is to do all the same stuff.

[-] Grander@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

People shit on it because it's way worse than singular devs have achieved and provide for free. It's been in development for years, and it still hasn't achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?
