RIF was reddit to me (sh.itjust.works)

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 had the official app installed for a while now, and every time I would try it... back to RIF I went. 😫

Yep. I used old UI on desktop, and RIF on my phone. They kept the style that I like, simple and easy to use. Convenient, not a ton of bloat.

Every time I tried to use the official app I hated it, every time I created a new account I hated the web UI until I enabled old mode.

I'm brand new here on Lemmy, hoping it can fill at least a little of the void. Miss RIF already :(
