I’ve got Lemmy, a glitchy beta iOS app to view it with and I’m rollin’ with it. It’ll get better in the coming weeks and months.

Dude... I spent over ELEVEN FUCKING YEARS of my life visiting that site almost daily - just about always through rif. I'm a little beside myself, if we're being perfectly honest. (Which kinda feels dumb to say about something like reddit, but... There it is.) I mean, I realized last night that I was having to re-learn how to find news on the internet. Which was weird.

This isn't exactly what I needed on top of losing basically every long-term relationship I had left in the span of a year or so... Just sayin'. 🙃 (Can I emoji here? Lol Have mercy on me I'm quite clearly new at this🤣😂)

It's real uncomfortable, not gonna lie. I've been checking reddit daily for well over a decade now, and it's incredibly disorienting to have that suddenly not be an option anymore. I really, really hope they change their minds about pushing through these asinine API changes so I can go back to using RIF like before, but if not, I'd way rather get used to Lemmy than get used to the official Reddit app and reward them for their scummy business practices.

I had to delete Apollo. It is so baked into my routine. I put Mlem in its place to help with the muscle memory. Until more communities fill out on Lemmy, and until I learn to better utilize the service, I’m left feeling frustrated and confused
