I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like “can I have a reddit, mom?” - “we have reddit at home” Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it’s a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn’t sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized images so it takes a lot longer to see posts that I’m willing to click on…

I miss rif. I used to lurk and look at memes on rif all the time, occasionally asking for advice on relationships or jobs or whatnot. I’m considering quitting reddit altogether, just found out about Lemmy. Is there a lotr memes or prequel memes community over here?

rif was one of the reasons I stuck with android lol…It was probably my most used app. Probably borderline phone addiction due to it lmao.

Ugh yeah the official app for Reddit is so bad… I went from using RIF every time I had any time to spare to maybe opening Reddit once a day for a few minutes.

The lotr memes community is pretty active, actually, it’s one of my favorites here. Not sure about prequel memes.

If you haven’t heard this already, check out the various apps that are available for Lemmy, they improve the experience greatly.
