First bot I’ve seen on Lemmy!

Oh man I used to love this band. Totally forgot about them for like 15 years it feels like until I saw this post!

RIF is working logged out, which is a bit surprising since u/TalkLittle pulled the API key

Put it down to Reddit jankiness

Think it was a (temporary) issue with Connect - seemed to work with Jerboa

As Cory Doctorow termed it, it’s the enshittification of the Internet - all for the sake of “shareholder value” It’s a proper “can’t see the wood for the trees” business

He’s doing one for Tildes apparently but I’d love to see one for Lemmy

Same here. I tried a few times past midnight but there it went. End of an era - gonna be one hell of a difficult habit to go cold turkey on. Hopefully Lemmy can fill the void…

Getting an error on Connect for Lemmy - no community with that name “MICROCONTROLLERS” could be found

Try Connect for Lemmy. Jerboa is just very badly bugged and a poor UX right now. Connect seems to be much less buggy as well as more usable generally.

I tried using Jerboa but it’s very badly bugged right now. Have been using Connect for Lemmy. As a long-time (10yr ) RIF user it doesn’t even get close to RIF, but it’s the best I’ve used so far. Here’s hoping TalkLittle or someone else makes an app for Lemmy (as I understand it he’s making RIF for Tildes, but Tildes has its own problems). Connect for Lemmy is OK, and is quite usable.

Thanks. I think what I need to do for now is just open up c/newcommunities on a desktop browser and just add a bunch more.

May be wrong place to comment this. But how the heck can I get to this link from Jerboa? !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world Tapping it results in my mail client opening. The initial exclamation mark doesn’t get included in the link. I can’t seem to find this community manually either. It’s getting a bit frustrating trying to make the leap across, and I’m a technical professional! Appreciate this might be a Jerboa thing, but would be good if anyone has any insight.
