    I love it because the apps are much better… The regular reddit app has too many notifications, and red reader is too boring, and laggy. I’m using liftoff and it is so much better

      Same. If they kept RIF I never would have known how crappy Reddit is and I left and never looked back.

        I use it on occasion on mobile. Oh boy is the UX bad. UI is too cluttered as well but manageable.
        The mobile UI before the exodus was fine imo.

        I use the full width/height card UI in Sync. The old style isnt my thing and I use(d) lemmy/reddit during lunch break.

        Yeah, when RiF stopped working I just stopped using Reddit. I didn’t want their app with their random irrelevant notifications, nft shit and all the rest.

          Can’t believe how many people went through the same steps. I miss reddit, but post RIF, it was unusable

        When this happened I went back to Eternity, a fork of Infinity, the app I used for reddit. That’s also the beauty of Lemmy, there are lots of third party apps unlike reddit that banned every single one

      Same. I was a dedicated user of Boost for Reddit (before the API Armageddon) and the only reason why I’m using Lemmy now is because they made an app for Lemmy (which I’m currently using).

      Boost is such an amazing app and made Reddit tolerable
