    During reddits API fiasco. Specifically the app I was using (boost) recommend everybody move to Lemmy and I obliged. Used jerboa but as soon as Boost for Lemmy was launched I immediately hopped on board. I hope the rest of reddit users comes to their senses. The protest was so utterly pathetic and cowardly.

      I’d rather not. He always looks a little clammy and moist.

    Reddit API bullshit. But mostly I wanted to support the dev for reddit sync.

    Reddit being stupid. Specifically, they killed 3rd party apps. RIP RiF

      RiF was so good. It’s how I interacted with reddit for a very long time. Now Jerboa but it’s still not quite there. Although it’s free and the devs are super awesome.

    Bitches took away Apollo. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

    I didn’t like the changes on Reddit with the API and suddenly charging for access. Turns out, I like it better here. Probably would have liked it before the Reddit refugee situation, too.

    Yeah API shit was the final straw, but it was a long time coming. Honestly I’d switch way sooner had there been any alternative. I and a lot of other people tried, but nothing ever really took off even though the systems were there.

    It’s about adoption, but mainstream adoption is also what kills a site like this.
