Me too. Rip in pieces, Reddit. Good thing I have gotten used to Lemmy and good apps for it have been developed quickly (I use Connect).

I couldn't be bothered to get used to RedReader as it's little bit different from RiF which was one of the best (if not the best) Android apps in regards to UI/UX. I do have the RedReader installed though in case I have to open a reddit url or look up something but I'm not interested in using it for longer periods. So I guess the lurking stops here.

The ship is sinking slowly so getting off of Reddit has been a gradual process.

I'm hoping talklittle (rif dev) either switches gears and does rif for lemmy or maybe releases the source code so the community can do so. I'd happily help them port it.
