Now I want to know how many of this population did not use a 3rd-Party reddit app.
There is a whole lot of desktop and laptop users who couldn’t care less about APIs, but some of them have begun to notice that Reddit just isn’t the same anymore.
Increased population in lemmy.world is attributable to Redditisfun directly linking to this instance with its dying notification. Other instances may have vastly different compositions as a result.
Sync did the same I believe.
Right here. I used the standard Reddit app.
Why‽ It was awful compared to Relay and RIF and those aren’t even the coveted 3rd party apps.
I remember trying RIF way back in the day. I think before the official app was even rolled out. I can’t even tell you why or how I quit RIF as it’s been so long ago.
I personally didn’t have much of a problem with the official app, even though it could be wonky at times. I was more of a lurker and not a mod nor any kind of power user or anything. I left Reddit more on the principle of not wanting to support a greedy company anymore.
