Reddit isn't what it once was, and never will be again.

It's the Golden Girls theme song, but also in a way accurate. Rif was my first introduction to reddit. And the first app I downloaded on every phone. One I used...probably too often haha. Don't confront me with that data, I'm not ready yet. But through the past decade it's led me to some extraordinary discoveries, been a comfort when I was low, helped me organize things I was looking into or just laughing at, and never failed me being there even when I did break away for a bit. Rif was like a friend, an online acquaintance that knew all the things I liked and shared that with me. And I'm going to miss it. A lot. Thank you for the last 10 years of being a friend.

With reddit shutting down I imagined all the books I was finally going to read, that attic was getting organized, and I was going to start a new hobby....and here I am.

Subreddits you are going to miss? in c/[email protected]

First time posting here, and still figuring it out. Excited about the new possibilities. I was a redditor for ever a decade. Throughout the years I've had several favorite subs, and some I simply followed because of the quality moderation and content like with r/AskHistorians. What I'm going to miss the most, however, is the reddit lore and history. The good, funny, bad, and even ugly. From the Swamps of Dagobah, to the rise and fall of u/Unidan.

It's been a good ride with reddit, but I'm excited to be part of a new start and new culture.
