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.
This is exactly word for word how I got here. lol
Fuck spez
I’d rather not. He always looks a little clammy and moist.
Came for APIpocolypse. Stayed for Sync.
Same
Sync?
Client for Lemmy on Android
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.
I just followed some of the other redditors to here, like an innocent little ducky.
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.
Reddit committed suicide then went full retard. So here I am.
The apicalypse
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.
Reddit sent me to Lemmy with their actions. Thanks Reddit!
Reddit killing the app I used.
Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.
When they killed third party apps.
