News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm needing to mourn more than I thought I'd have to. Legit might shed a tear cause like... it's over
Apollo is down too. Like this is it.
Can confirm, it crashes on launch. RIP
Adding my farewell to RIF. It served me well for many years. Sad to see it go. Thank you to everyone behind the app (if you ever read this). You were there when I was bored, sick, or needed answers.
Well done.
Let the brain drain of Reddit begin. They've got what's coming to them - a mass exodus of the power users and a slow deterioration of quality OC.
let's be honest, a good portion of Reddit was just stolen content
Stolen by the best!!
The real content was always in the comment section
It has ended. It is a shame.
I can't commit myself to delete the app. I almost did it, then stopped myself. I think it'll sit on my phone indefinitely.
Same. It's been my #1 app for a decade, across multiple devices. I can't delete it.
First app I install on every phone for at least a decade. It's not going anywhere 😭
Yeah that's what I'm doing. Served me well, so it'll chill on my phone til I upgrade.
RIF was the one and only Reddit app I've used for YEARS. So sad to see it go out due to Reddit's greed.
RIP
I did legitimately try the official app a long time ago, and all I could think is 'why would I bother with this when RIF is so much better put together. It's weird seeing this app go out. Maybe I'll leave the RIF up on my screen as a memorial.

RIP in piece.
Reddit was fun...
I was looking at a gif of wind blowing through a grass field when it went for me. I was planning on posting long goodbyes to all my favorite subreddits, but it think this might be for the best. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this though!
Yah, it’s all over. Deleted my posts, comments, and account. Fuck u/spez. I will miss Apollo so so much. The only reason I browsed Reddit. Hello new fam!
Sync too
I thought I might look at RIF one last time but its dead. That is really quite sad. Rip RIF. Fuck spez.
Slide for iOS is dead as well :(
Yea, when I found out it was going to go down I came over here.
Joey still seems to work although it may just be showing old posts. I'm also noticing Lemmy giving me errors when I try to vote on a comment so I'm guessing the great migration part 2 (?) has started?
Yeah lemmy.world is very laggy rn. Probably new influx of posts after Reddit apps died.
RIF dead for me too. Guess it's time to officially switch to Lemmy.
First time I opened it up it just said no threads. After seeing this post I tried again and it displayed a message with a link

I feel like i got evicted.
9 years on reddit, 9 years using rif/apollo
And just like that, gone. I'm heartbroken.
Reddit really was fun, I remember the time when meeting a redditor in the wild felt like such a coincedence because of how niche it was. Now I get to experience that and I am strangely excited for it!
Incoming from BaconReader. I was browsing when it went dead.
First post!
_salute _
Rest in peace RIF, you truly lived up to your name
Goodbye old friend. You will be missed. 🫡
RIP RIF. The end of a beautiful era. Already liking it here though!
Baconreader is down too. Guess they pulled the plug early. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.
Why is Boost for Reddit still running?
That's... why I'm here
Sad to see, I've been using RIF for probably a decade. It was probably past time to look elsewhere anyway
so is Bacon Reader :(
Big sad.
Good night, sweet prince.
