Been using RIF since around 2011. I hope that Lemmy or Tildes takes off.
Reddit Was Fun
Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
RIP golden platinum. We had our good times
it was a long run, sad to see it go :( thanks for everything
RIP RIF. The only app that I could bear to use on android. Thanks for so many awesome years.
Here's to seeing if Lemmy (or maybe tildes.net if we get invites) works out. Seems like a cool community so far
it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.
I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.
Thanks for all the fish
So sad to see RIF go, I was using it since I first found reddit about a decade ago. Fuck spez and his greediness
The Internet is a river, not a pond. It was nice while it lasted, but we continue on.
RIF was my first Reddit app. I did move over to Boost a couple of years ago but RIF will always be my o.g. Android experience.
Thanks for all your work, talklittle - you improved a lot of lives, including mine, with this app.
RIF was the only Reddit I knew....
So long!! Hello! Lemmy! Cute name 😉
Thanks for giving me a home for the past 10 years.
I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @[email protected]
Started using Reddit with RIF, used this for 7 years and stopped using Reddit now that RIF is gone.
I am still baffled that Reddit didn't have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.
14 years on Reddit, my main account would have been 13 years old next week and I finally took the plunge and deleted it. Screw those guys. Is it weird that I felt genuinely sad deleting it, though? Like, I'm 37 years old, a parent, married. I feel a bit silly.
10 years on reddit, most of that through RIF.
It feels like I've been kicked out of my home by monsters.
My first comment on this site as well, thank you RiF, you were the best app.
Thanks Talklittle!
RIF Golden Platinum was my most used app since 2011
Also my first comment on Lemmy. RIP RIF
Reddit is fun was my jam. I won't reddit anymore without it.
Thank you so much for RIF. I didn't realise what the date was and was idly browsing Reddit last night, then it suddenly stopped working. I became a little sad when that happened.
Fuck Reddit, fuck Spez.
it was the best app for accessing reddit. it is gone so now I am done with reddit
RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?
When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.
I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3
Loved the app, thank you for making it.
If everyone is here, the content is here. So long RIF and thanks for all the fish, but if this takes off it will be so much better than ever before.
Picked up premium last week in support. Thanks for all you did!
I don't even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.
Sad to see it go, but I'm also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn't been great for quite a while now.
Rest in Feace, RiF
Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.
RIPRIF
Like most of y'all came over when 429s hit up our beloved RIF. Hoping I can learn how to use this number n a similar way.
As an aside was the API rate limiting done earlier than anticipated? Thought it was a 7/1 thing and not a 6/30 @ 10p EST thing.
So, is it a problem that rif is still working for me some how? I went into it to see the dead app and canceled out of every message prompt after the good bye. Now when I open the app, it works.
Another Reddit refugee reporting in. RIF was how I reddited... It will be greatly missed.
11 years on Reddit and my mobile Reddit experience was 100% via RIF. No RIF. No Reddit on mobile for me (mobile was 95% of my Reddit use).

Thank you for RIF. For years I thought it was the official app. I once tried reddits official app when it was released and it was a quick "nope" back to RIF. Thanks for the years of fun.
