Reddit Was Fun

I suspect I echo the thoughts of many users, but to me, RIF really was reddit. It was an app I downloaded from a friend's recommendation in probably 2013, and is usually the first install whenever ri switch phones, also boasting pride of place right below where my thumb naturally rests on my home screen.

I have never had an issue with the app, and have always loved it's appearance and usability. Everyone that worked on it did a fantastic job, and I will miss it.

All this to say, thank you and goodnight RIF.

I've been using Reddit is Fun for almost a decade, well before the official app was ever a thing. It's not the prettiest Reddit app out there, but it's by far the most usable, well thought out, feature rich app out there.

I don't wanna be overdramatic, so I'll just say thank you for working on this app for such a long time. Been a pleasure being a part of it, and it's a shame seeing it all go away so quickly.

It's going to take me a loooooooooooooong time to get used to not immediately clicking on that RiF when I open my phone. Godspeed on your future projects.

I've used RIF since 2015. Sorely gonna miss doom scrolling. Can't wait until the Tildes app drops so I can use that.

I want to hear from my fellow RIF users.

RIF was the only reddit mobile app I've used in my 12 years on the site, absolutely going to miss it.

Thanks for making my last 8 years on reddit bearable.

You shall be missed.

RIF was important to me in a way that's hard to describe. I will always consider it the pinnacle of minimalism functional design. and it was not function over form either, RIF looked amazing.

Is anyone throwing out invites for tildes? i suppose i should have tried to get in sooner, but i was holding out hope that reddit would get it together and back off. They seem determined to digg themselves though.

Thanks for everything RIF. You made Reddit usable, and, well..fun. Going to miss it, and without RIF I will simply not be using reddit anymore on mobile. I refuse to use the official app, I'd rather just fill that time with something else. Good luck in your future endeavours, RIF team.

Your app made reddit useable. Hopefully reddit realizes how badly they fucked up.

Everyone was there so I was but now that they moved I'm so happy fuck reddit and I hope it dies

I will miss RiF, do not know what Reddit is for me without it

I've spent more time on RIF than on any other app. It will be sorely missed.

Your app will be sorely missed!

You will be thoroughly missed.

Thank you everyone for your support since 2009.

Thank you to /u/anon_smithsonian in particular for taking care of everyone on /r/redditisfun.

RIF, you're quirky and rough around the edges, but you've always gotten the job done. You know how to get out of the way and show people the articles, discussions, pictures, and videos they came for.

You have the silliest name, but we love you all the more for it. RIF will always be fun in our hearts.

RIF has been so much of my life.

I'm honored that so many of you have felt the same way.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It's been fun.
