I miss rif (self.redditwasfun)

I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like "can I have a reddit, mom?" - "we have reddit at home" Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it's a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn't sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized images so it takes a lot longer to see posts that I'm willing to click on...

I miss rif. I used to lurk and look at memes on rif all the time, occasionally asking for advice on relationships or jobs or whatnot. I'm considering quitting reddit altogether, just found out about Lemmy. Is there a lotr memes or prequel memes community over here?

You can sign out and still use reddit on rif. I use it for a couple of niche subs that haven't and most likely won't migrate. 😬

Like others said I'm also using Liftoff and switch over to jerboa every now and then. Not exactly rif but they feel nice. I really wish rif was ported for lemmy.
