The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I miss RiF sometimes :[
The writing was on the wall when reddit restricted buying awards in anything but the official app. For some reason, I even have a vivid recollection of where I was in the world when that went down.
Back in 2014 RIF was $2 one time purchase for a completely ad free experience. I knew that couldn’t last forever, but I enjoyed the 9 years I did have.
On the toilet?
Close! I was supposed to be working at the time.
I still have the app on my phone
Just in case
Right after S2 of Firefly
I never watched the last episode of season 1, I'm allowing myself the delusion that for me, it didn't end
Me too. I click a reddit link, and the app opens to remind me
Oh man, I'm jealous. I uninstalled the app, but I'm pretty sure you can look up workarounds to make the app still work if you have it on your phone.
ReVanced has a project for it. It's janky, but it works. For now.
I miss Apollo. Voyager is nearly as great and is open source so it's not all bad. Still miss it though...
Yeah Voyager needs more polish. I have found Mlem to be more spiritual of the successor in terms of ui design.
Interesting. Just looked at Mlem for a minute and for some reason the Voyager UI agrees with me more.
The funny thing is Mlem offers higher contrast between different UI elements yet it is easier for me to differentiate between those elements in the lower contrast way that Voyager presents them.
RIP RiF.
Jerboa is similar enough in my head. Though, if I could time travel and get the 2023 experience then I might see that I'm misremembering.
I was hoping RiF's dev would make an app for Lemmy. They did make one for Tildes though called three cheers for Tildes. I believe their username is talklittle.
Jerboa was real bad back then. Like, bad enough that I shelled out cash money to purchase Sync for Lemmy, which was another different old reddit front-end that now pivoted to Lemmy.
Overall though I'm now actually a big fan of Sync. It's a good app. Does all that it needs to and not much more.
Big RIP. Used to go on that site quite a lot back when it still had good clients
Same... Sync is my life now
I'm lucky, Boost was my app of choice. Now I just use it for Lemmy instead.
Which is how I learned about Lemmy. I opened Boost one day and was like... Wait, something's off. : )
