You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.

Very sad to say goodby to RIF after 9 years. Lets get this party started and I got some learning to do in this new environment.

Gonna miss RIF.

Tell us about the before-times, gramps!

Do we have a dataisbeautiful yet?

Wow. Wefwef is really great. Thanks for making me aware of it.

It's 2am here and I just did exactly the same thing with rif. Gonna take some getting used to...

I've been here for a bit more than a week now and my biggest advice and is to take it as it is. Take a deep breath, accept that this is Lemmy and not something else, and that you're feeling it out. This is not relearning a bike, this is getting in a peddle boat for the first time. Similar, yes, but also it's own thing.

And reddit still has a long way down. Look at Facebook, it never died, it just lost most young users and it grew stale with conspiracy theories, blind hatred and fake news.

If you aren’t sold on the interface then check out wefwef.app. No affiliation - just spreading the gospel. It feels like Reddit on Apollo, but here instead.

Same but from Reddit is fun

I just moved Memmy into Apollo’s old place on the home screen. I’m not touching the official reddit app.

I came from RiF. I was shocked that reddit even went through with the block. Oh well, onto bigger and better things. Reddit can be a footnote in history.
