Whatever happens, once RIF is offline I won't have the muscle memory and habit of opening it. And RIF was the only way I access Reddit, it's a pain in the ass using Reddit on a mobile browser and their app sucks. So I'm just gonna stop using Reddit daily. I'll still wander in from Google when looking stuff up, but I won't be on it daily anymore.
That's me too. I use Sync and I tried the official app for a few days to feel it out. It's absolute garbage. Once Sync is down I won't be on reddit anymore. At the moment I'm trying to stay off reddit out of principle, but the muscle memory to open and scroll is still strong.
Yeah. If things go as planned this is just a teaser for July 1.
This was me. I was addicted to RIF and would scroll it for hours. I've barely used Reddit through desktop or mobile site. To me, shutting down RIF is the same as shutting down Reddit
Same here. Currently using Jerboa and it's close enough to RIF to be easy enough in transition. It's been difficult to not absentmindedly open RIF but the second I do I'm greeted by blackout posts and remember to close it. I've only ever used the desktop site at work when looking stuff up and see Reddit in the results, but I've been testing the water with chat gpt lately for how-to type stuff and it's been interesting.
