The first time I used Reddit after signing up was through RIF Platnium. My daily routine of getting up, making coffee and browsing for a few minutes (okay, 20 minutes) will never, ever be the same.

Hello all. Left Reddit and deleted my account after 14 years - most of that on RIF. Thanks!

Reddit was fun, and RIF allowed me to enjoy it to the fullest. I'll miss it a lot, thank you so much for your time and work on this fantastic app.

Thanks for all the Fun (self.redditwasfun)

When I needed a mobile app to browse Reddit, RIF was first choice even after trying a few others. Thanks for all the fun browsing years and good luck with the future.

Just went to open the app and it force closes, and so ends my chapter of Reddit. Thank you Christian for the most amazing app experience ever.

Typing this from the RIF browser, after making my account here via the RIF browser.

Had my reddit account ~14 years, started using RIF by 2010 and have never used another mobile version of Reddit. (And not for lack of trying!)

Thank you for everything you provided to us, the users!

For the past ~2 weeks or so I've stayed away from reddit (which used to occupy one to two hours a day of my time). I stopped by today for one final nostalgic use of RIF.

12+ years of RIF. There are no words except thank you.

I've used RIF since way before there was an official app and it was the only way I ever browsed Reddit. Thank you for being an amazing app. I hope I can find a Lemmy app that compares. Goodbye

RIP RIF... Reddit Was Fun... (self.redditwasfun)

Just really wish I could still say 'Is' before the 'Fun' part, you know? But hey, I suppose all things come to an end eventually right? So hey ya'll.

So long, RIF. It WAS fun. (self.redditwasfun)
submitted 1 year ago by DelvianSeek to c/redditwasfun
 
 

I remember discovering reddit a dozen years ago or so, and got hooked. At the time, there was no official reddit app, so I looked around at all the apps out there for my android phone, BaconReader, something blue, and then finally settled on RIF as the best experience. At an hour a day, for 12 years, that's 4380 hours I've spent on that app, at a MINIMUM. It feels weird and sad to see it go...

So long RIF and thank you talklittle, it was a fun ride, and I hope you find something even better to develop next!

It was a great app! Been a user for as long as I remember using reddit on my phone.

Thanks @[email protected] I appreciate all your hard work over the years.

I would check RIF every day. It will be weird not checking RIF

Goodby RIF! (self.redditwasfun)

I've had RiF since before the name change, since before Golden Platinum even. It's been on every single phone I've owned for over a decade!

I'm sad that today's the last day, that this is it. Feels like I'm saying goodbye to a friend.

Thanks for the app. I'm going to miss it and Reddit is going to miss my mobile traffic because I absolutely refuse to use the Official App...and they can't make me!

Here's hoping for a Lemmy version

About 10 years on Reddit, most using RIF. This app was my gateway to the internet. RIP. Thanks for all the amazing work!
