      Yeah there were a lot of little things before then. It kind of felt like being in an abusive relationship every time you saw an admin post. Glad you made the switch!

    Still here, still trying to convince people to leave reddit, but some people won’t even leave twitter or facebook, so what are you gonna do? Lemmy has taught me to be happy with my beans.

      You don’t look in your neighbor’s bowl to see if you have as much beans as them. The only time you should look in your neighbor’s bowl is to make sure that they have enough beans.

    The weird thing is, I was off reddit for years already. It’s only because tech news sites reported on the api changes (and boosted the fediverse) that I made the switch. I was doing fine! I didn’t need a new reddit!

    ...

    Nah, actually I did because 4chan was my replacement for the interim (-_-⁠メ⁠)

      Originally started as Reddit Is Fun, a mobile app for Reddit. Then Reddit launched their own (shittier) app and forced them to change the name. So they went with RIF Is Fun.

    Dunno about RIF, I’ve been in threadiverse since Sync for Reddit bit the dust. (Was in Kbin initially.)

      Sync for Lemmy is ok, but the dev stopped responding about 8 months ago and it’s got a bug that makes it completely unusable for many people.

        Heh, I know. I bought Sync for Reddit originally, and was really conflicted about whether I should buy Sync for Lemmy. Was, like, “what the hell, I’ll be supporting the developer.”…well I’m glad I never bought the ongoing support things this developer offered! Staunch supporter of open source threadiverse apps these days, as you might imagine.

          I actually didn’t mind paying a monthly subscription to Sync for Lemmy, just to support the developer. He was super responsive at first and immediately fixed a comment sorting issue that I reported in his community.

          Then he ghosted for a while and came back with a slew of updates. So I had hope that he would do the same again. Eventually after not being able to use Sync for a few months, I canceled my subscription. Would be glad to take it up again if he ever comes back and fixes it!
