Especially with Jerboa already in place, its IMO a good switch.
The one thing that worries me is all that useful info trapped on Reddit, if Lemmy data expires then that has a long term cost/loss which is sad.
Just that you support the lemmy community.
Something like 12 years I used Reddit, but they really nailed the coffin lid shut now.
Indeed, Reddit half died for me when they did the redesign, and I only used RiF after that, now its just dead to me.
Agree-ish. It needs the ability to open and display common link types, videos, images, etc.
RiF had an ok system for decisions about what to try and open/display.
For example, I prefer YouTube to open in NewPipe rather than an in app browser, but that might be different for you.
Welcome. I personally found it necessary because YouTube’s algo kept giving mostly QOP nazi propaganda starting back in 2016.
