Same. I used the little picture widget to cycle adorable animal pictures all day on my home screen. The one little thing that gave me joy, fucking ruined by corporations. While I don't have a widget anymore, I at least have someplace I can talk for 5 minutes and have someone listen.

Apollo was the last straw for me.
I told reddit I wouldn't be back and I meant it. RIF was perfect and they didn't deserve the defeat and lies they received for just trying to share reddit to more people in a better manner. Fuck /u/spez

Cheers for infinity, may it rest in peace.
I'm currently using Eternity for lemmy (fork)
I patched my Sync and RIF so they still work fine. But I'm here anyway!
I replaced RIF with Stealth. It's actually a really excellent read-only client that you can subscribe to subs and view content without contributing anything to Reddit.

Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died
Wow 2 years already?! Let's fucking go Lemmy!
Wow, it's been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers
Honestly Lemmy has been way better for me for my phone habits. Just enough content but not too much

I joined about half a year after the 3rd party apps died. Reddit's decision back then still feels like it was more recent than just 2 years ago, though...
Can time stop speedrunning itself, please?
Woohoo ! Happy Anniversary! Deleted manually 13 years of posts and comments.
I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck
I created an account two years ago, but was using boost and it kept working up until a few months ago. The combination of Boost not working and Nazis taking over Reddit so even the desktop old reddit was pointless to use.
Now I use Boost for Lemmy for mobile.
Speaking of which, a recent Android update (I know I should change OSes) got rid of the little Lemmy.world web app icon thing I had installed and I haven't been able to get it back, so far. Does anyone know how to fix that? That was working great as my RIF replacement. I read it all again and I'm such a grandma. :(

Congrats Lemmy. Way better than Reddit shit show.
I mean... Lemmy has always kinda felt more sane
Two year anniversary just a few days ago. Also left when RiF stopped working. Really nice to see Lemmy activity continually going up with each passing day, but the quality hasn’t gone down. Very much enjoying it!
Cheers
Relay for me
I joined when Reddit started milking their users
Cheers y'all, hope the next year is even better
