I’m just curious why some people come here; in my case, it’s because it’s not the same as on centralized platforms. I love these kinds of forums.
Reddit killed the app I used.
Same. Used Reddit Is Fun for like 11 years or something. Haven’t looked back. The most I’ll do is search for an answer for something and check a reddit thread if it shows up in the results.
I’m another ex-RiF user. In hindsight it was a good thing Reddit killed the third party apps. I honestly don’t think I would have joined Lemmy if I was still able to use Reddit Is Fun.

RIP Baconreader
Try Boost, it’s pretty similar (might have to tweak a couple settings)
I switched to iOS along the way, but Boost is still my favorite Reddit, now Lemmy client. I wish they would make their way to iOS.
They burned down Boost for Reddit, and Boost for Lemmy rose from the ashes
I’m on Boost too, and all things considered switching to Lemmy was less of a transition than if I’d had to switch to their app.
Yep, team API migrants here too. I spend less time on Lemmy than i used to spent on Reddit and that is a good thing i guess. Plus, Lemmy group pressured me into giving Linux a shot. Now i don’t have single device that is connected to one of the tech giants any more. Wouldn’t have happened without Lemmy nudging me in that direction,
This, but the app survived 😅 (I revived it with revanced).
Now I use both, Sync for Reddit and Summit for Lemmy… NGL if Summit was available for Reddit I would use it as well!
I use summit too, I like it a lot.
It is a pretty GOATED client, and the “competition” is strong, so that even makes it deserve more praises to be fair.
Was banned permanently from Reddit for correctly identifying a certain South African billionaire’s political leanings.
This is why I left. I saw post about people being banned from communities for things like that, or saying eat the rich, iD’ing Nazis, calling Palestine a genocide and calling for action. It was clear they had fascist corporate donors to appease and had chosen sides.
I left reddit when they shut down the 3rd party readers. I don’t like ads, and I wasn’t willing to compromise and use their shitty app, so I came here and haven’t looked back since!
Same. Couldn’t be happier with the Fediverse as my main socials.
Reddit killed third party apps with absurd API fees.
Also known as the apicalypse
What annoyed me even more is how they handled that whole situation. They basically went: who cares, the protest is going to die down in a few days anyways so why should we do anything besides insulting everybody
I’m a hipster and also anti-capitalist. Tired of dogshit corpo social media enshittification
Lemmy almost reminds me of the internet before it went to hell. A breath of fresh air.
Left reddit as part of usa boycot. No regrets.
I left Reddit for Lemmy for the same reason I left Digg for Reddit: Enshittification, both technical and administrative.
I got sniped by a bot on Reddit, just two weeks shy of 15 years.
Didn’t even ask for the account to be reinstated but got a denial reply nonetheless that claimed it was decided by a “human” (…who obviously could not understand, “…So long and thanks for all the fish…” was a goodbye, and not a “please reconsider…” “Human” responder my foot…).
They also won’t let me delete the account.
Obviously its being run with AI now and the bots are doing the moderation and the refusal to delete accounts means they’re also ginning the numbers for the investors.
It really went off the rails when the IPO dropped.
Also, they’re deprecating the old reddit style and for people like myself with eyesight issues, the new layout is a visual mess.
I found old.lemmy.zip and fell into it and fell in love.
Haven’t missed a beat and don’t even thnk of Reddit anymore.
I’d been using Reddit for quite some time. I wasn’t willing to use it if they weren’t going to allow third party clients.
The API shenanigans
Yeah, same, when the apicalypse hit I was gone.
Why “apicalypse” and not “appocalypse”?
Two reasons:
- Because Reddit killed the API , which in turn killed the apps.
- It sounds funnier
Aaah I see. Yeah, yours is better.

Reddit is a Wall Street corporation that sells users to corporate advertisers
Lemmy is free and open source.
Every other post being “Promoted” bullshit, the slow-ass web UI, my former favorite app no longer working, and the bloated and track-y first party app. I was never a fan of “old reddit UI” , so that wasn’t a crutch like it was for others.

Democratic freedom and democracy in practice.
The API thing. I was using RIF for a very long time at that point and had no intention of using the official Reddit app.
Saaame
