    The API changes. I use Sync, and not being able to use Sync made Reddit more or less unusable for me on my phone. I also fundamentally disagreed with the direction Reddit was going. So, Lemmy it was, and it’s great. And now there’s Sync for Lemmy, which is even better!

          Oh it did? I had tried to use it like 5 years ago. I guess it was too technical to really take off

    Reddit is (no longer) Fun.
    Like others, the API change was the final straw. I used Reddit is Fun (RIF) for years, even paid for the full version, because both the official Reddit app and the mobile web interface were terrible. I was also using the old web interface with the Reddit Enhancement Suite, and that went on “maintenance mode”. Overall, Reddit just reached a point that the enshitification was getting to be too much for me to stomach. So, here I am.

      RIF clan, represent!

      I haven’t tried them all, but I’ve been using Boost. What app are you using to recreate that RIF feel?

    The API changes were the last straw; but it had been heavily destroyed by astroturfing for years before the API restrictions finally just pushed me over the edge.

    Technically, the fediverse would be even easier to astroturf. Luckily we’re early enough that astroturfing is foolish on Lemmy.
