RIF was my first and only reddit app since I got an android phone in 2015. I used to use a Nokia Lumia so I had a different app before the, can't remember the name, something with bacon in the name (E: Baconit!).

But 8 years of using reddit on my phone almost exclusively through reddit is fun. Every phone I've had it's occupied the same space, right next to my Firefox. Maybe I'll replace it with a Lemmy app or maybe I'll just keep it there as a memory. I'm still not sure what I'll do about reddit in general. I've been pretty good at keeping away, but occasionally I'll find myself going back to it out of a deep habit. Maybe RIF not working will break that finally.

EDIT: Was curious when I bought Golden Platinum and apparently late 2017. Funny story is that I never even used it. Was a small amount for an app I'd used for two years by that point to show support. Maybe I could have done more but it's too late for reddit now.

Wasn't that, but I did find it. It was called Baconit. Seemed to have died years back now, but it looked pretty nice back when I used it. Though I do remember it being a bit buggy.
