    It really broke my heart. I loved Reddit, I was on it on RiF one my phone when I didn’t use my computer. It was great for finding all sorts of new stuff and it was genuinely fun. I’d had a few accounts for like a decade or something, but when they killed the alternate programs I just left and never looked back.

      I miss RIF, but it’s for the better. Lemmy moves too slow for me to doomscroll it forever, so I’ve started putting my phone down more.

      I’ve started reading books again, even in public, when I’m waiting for someone or something. My mind is slowing down and getting more peaceful.

      Yeah, i didn’t realize how much i relied in Reddit to keep me informed on sports. I barely know what’s going in with my favorite teams, let alone the leagues anymore. But i couldn’t use anything other than RiF to browse Reddit, so i was done as soon as they axed the third party apps.
