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.

RIF was a daily for me. I never really cared too much for advertising on reddit. However the office I work has absolutely terrible signal. RIF would absolutely power through efficiently browsing reddit. Now that i have switched to the official app, the majority of my day is just waiting for content to load.

A real shame. The volume of people, and niche content on Reddit is incredible. I have a huge love for railways, model railways, virtual railways and... there are no communities here. Niche within a Niche.

Lets see Where Lemmy takes us!
