Welcome RIF users

Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
I made a reddit account 7 years ago and used rif most of that time. It was the only thing keeping me on reddit because I was never satisfied with the official app. With rif gone, reddit will only be used as a means of finding answers to questions I search Google with. I hope that I won't have to depend on reddit for long in that regard either.
That's like the biggest net negative - how often do you Google your question with "Reddit" tagged in there to find real people answering your question?
Biggest bummer is seeing people deleting their post history. Like, I get it, but also screwing with troubleshooting for years to come until Reddit slips into obscurity.
Someone is building a search engine for Lemmy. So if Lemmy ever somehow manages to get as popular as reddit, that search engine will be awesome.
We can also always count on Google indexing lemmy content and hopefully being able to add lemmy to search queries in the future for relevant content
