Sorry if not.

I was on Reddit for a lot of years and enjoyed most of them, I really did. Almost all of that was through the Reddit is Fun app, it was one of the few apps I liked enough to pay for it.

I stopped opening RiF the day the API incident happened and I switched to here (using Connect, after some experimentation, because the UX was most similar to RiF). I wasn’t confident we would gain enough users to make it worthwhile to switch, but I wanted to try and I didn’t want to support spez. Just this morning I told my wife that we probably had several thousand users, then a few hours later I saw a post saying we had almost 1.5 million. That’s amazing!

I struggled a bit with Lemmy when I started using it, but either Lemmy or I evolved - probably both - and now it’s a wonderful experience to open every day. Y’all are great and I appreciate your presence.

edit: Probably should have said it in the original message, but in case it wasn’t explicit: thank you all.

    I use the same app for here as I did on Reddit, Boost for Lemmy. It’s easy to forget I’m on a different platform sometimes.

      I haven’t quite had that experience yet, but I think that’s mainly because of how much Lemmy is still developing on both the client and server side. The experience might be different with another client like Boost and maybe I’m just not getting the full benefit with Connect, but every other client I’ve tried has been missing something I didn’t want to forego. Admittedly it has been a while since I’ve tried another client, though.

      However, as I said in another comment, since the API debacle the only times I’ve been on Reddit have been when it came up in a search result and, in the same timeframe, I haven’t missed Reddit in general. While I’m aware of the changes, I’m very happy here.
