You can quite clearly tell when the Reddit apps stopped working on this graph of lemm.ee traffic 📈

Joining the party as RIF kicks the bed :')

This whole fediverse thing is a bit strange after 10 years of rif. But Reddit was going downhill for quite a while. Hope this takes off!

My first post as a refugee! Glad this place is here to fill the void.

Second ever comment here. I watched Apollo shut down live, went to sleep and then immediately tried opening it up again after waking up, out of habit - girlfriends still asleep and I got so used to browsing Reddit for a bit before we get up on weekends, it has become muscle memory.

Using Wefwef currently and it’s nice, awesome work especially for a web app.

that is cool. there is no such thing as too many graphs, so don't be shy in the future 😆

I straight up don't know how to use Lemmy. I feel like I need to relearn how to ride a bike.

I joined 2 weeks ago, I technically am a migrant lol but I feel like a veteran already .

WELCOME REDDITORS!

I joined a few weeks ago but after RIF died just over an hour ago it looks like I've found my new home.

I'm on Connect, I hope the UI gets better, Lemmy has a lot of potential but it needs work

Slide refugee that has been here for a few weeks. I like it here!

I'm just glad I found a server that allowed me to register. Been trying for weeks. Lemmy.ml is closed for registration. Lemmy.world just spins when you hit the register button. Another instance just said my registration was pending.

Fuck u/spez

Came over a few days ago, and the infrastructure is so much better in concept than Reddit ever was.

Are this active users? (Commenting/posting) or just traffic?

I ask as I spent time in different servers looking for one I liked before making an account, so it took a while before I became an 'active user'

It was weird using Reddit Is Fun like I always do then it just suddenly stopped.

I can't create a community. I click the button and nothing happens. Any idea why? I'm trying to recreate a community from Reddit that really helped me when I was in a dark place.

You have my axe! Ex digg/reddit here so this just feels like dejavu. Just trying to find an iOS/Mac app I’m happy with, so far mlem does pretty good!

I hope spez chokes on his narcissism.

Same for me. Woke up, launched Sync and got the message that it's not working anymore now and will work with Lemmy later. Immediately created an account here 👍

Coming from Apollo? Go here: wefwef.app

Haha, guilty. I went to mindlessly pull up RIF at about 7 pm CT and it wasn't loading comments, then I went oh, right, UTC it's midnight. And now two hours later here I am on lemmy

I'd love to see day by day numbers on a chart of how many joined

That's what brought me here! I'll miss RIF, but I think it's time to get used to something new. I appreciate how welcoming everyone seems!

oddly boost still works for me right now

Nice to have a new place to hang my virtual coat and peer into the endless void of the internet.

9 years and 33k Karma. Unfortunately it ends today.

Hello Lemmy. Guess this is where I'll go from now on.

Thank you for your warm welcome.

I never used a reddit ap, nor have I moderated, but I've watched the happenings and been incredulous at Huffman's (and subsequently Reddit's) behavior.

I'm really not ready. My Connect for Lemmy app is renamed to Lemmy is fun and is using the rif icon, it's hard to let go.

We are still going on infinity.

I just joined today and could use some assistance finding communities that I'd fit into. I'm into Cybersecurity and all matters of computing. If anyone has a suggestion please reply and thanks for having me :)

Welcome

I was interested to see what the rush was going to be like when Reddit mobile apps shut down. Looks like it might be pretty significant. Is this bigger than the blackout rush?

Hello, my first comment here. How do I save images? (I’m using wefwef app for ios btw)

god damn haha.

Just uninstalled RIF this morning when I opened it up like I always do when I wake up.

It was a good run but dang. Now I'm trying to figure all of this fediverse stuff. The app Jerboa on Android seems to be working pretty well.

What app is most like Bacon Reader? I'm on Connect but feeling a little lukewarm so far

Lemmy is the Future! :D

Hi there! What are some good subs for anyone trying to stay away from nsfw?

I want to create a community for my local city but when I click the button after entering the name, description, logo, etc. Nothing happens. Do I need to do something first?

Hi everybody!

Hey all, giving lemmy a try since RIF is gone

💖 to everybody who's making this possible. There's hoping that all the traffic can be managed

I just joined after Apollo stopped working. I’ve been over at squabbles since the black out. No idea how this place works. Excited to dig in and figure it out though!

Was browsing Apollo, it ceased, I opened the Reddit app once, closed it, signed up for Lemmy.

It has become muscle memory for me to open the app. My phone seems so empty now.

So long RIF. So long Reddit.

Another refugee here. Coming from Sync.

"Migrants" is fine. "Refugees" makes light of people in our community who are actually suffering the extreme hardship of being forced from their home with nothing.
