Some of my favorite subs have started going private already. I moved RiF out of the tray and replaced it with Jerboa.

I started my aggregated news with slashdot and fark. Moved to Digg after Kevin Rose announced it on TTV. went to Reddit at digg v2 because Reddit looked like diggv1. Went to rif when mobile usage passed my computer usage, now I'm here!

I discovered reddit for myself about 3ish years ago, I don't even remember how. Used the official app and still don't know why people shitting on it so much, the app itself is fine, like not smooth or especially pleasant to use but fine. So yeah, been using it daily - reading cool tech posts, watching dunk memes, asking dumb questions - all the good stuff. Saw the shitshow - decided it's time to leave, saw Lemmy as an alternative - decided to join. Jerboa is fine, the plan is to do all the same stuff.

People shit on it because it's way worse than what individual devs have achieved and provide for free. It's been in development for years, and it still hasn't achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?
