Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they've been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving...

Can't speak for anyone else, but as soon as RIF died I was gone. Was on it for over 10 years, and the only way I would view reddit content. Reddit's ui is cancer.

100%, no RIF no Reddit. I still hope for LIF to be a thing, especially after seeing old.lemmy.world

@dezmd @Daisyifyoudo

Finally took the plunge and scrubbed and deleted my reddit account. I'm officially all in on fediverse/Lemmy.

Honestly, as attached as I was to the RIF style after using it for a decade like OP, I have to say that I think the design of Connect is really damn good. Especially when you consider how early in the game it is right now for the Fediverse as a whole. The more modern design, features, and generally slick look to everything got me hooked immediately. Honestly, the only thing I don't really like about Connect is the App logo on my phone 🙃

This was me for Boost. Had an account for awhile before I aurally used it because I wasn't aware of third party apps and found the official one or web page a chore to go through. Then went with Boost after trying a few and I was on Reddit daily. Mostly a lurker. Already some of the Lemmy apps are better than the official reddit app and Boost is coming some time as well.

Strangely, RiF works again for browsing

[–] Afrazzle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Although can't sign in to comment/upvote and no NSFW.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

Same but if you Google some technical advice on reddit it will open in RiF. Which still works great for that purpose.

I don't even see it in the playstore anymore ¯\(ツ)

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same for me, but the Joey app instead
