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.

Goodbye RIF. You'll be missed!

LIF??

Thanks for everything. I can't believe how well made this app was, and I totally took it for granted. Now it's gone. Oh I, oh I, better learn how to face it, it's gone. I'd pay the devil to...sorry. Anyway, as an incurable insomniac, you were my in my hands for many, many, many late hours.

Sad, my most used app over the years.

After 9 years of RIF this was a weird weekend and boring poops! lol First post here using Jerboa and like the interface so far.

[โ€“] Olap 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Jerboa has a dark mode I discovered, and density scaling to feel very RIF

Thank you so much for your years of work. I first downloaded reddit is fun in 8th grade and have used it since then. I'm a college graduate now so it just goes to show how good of an experience using your app was. Looking forward to your future if you decide to develop for Lemmy

[โ€“] toolverine 7 points 2 years ago

I used RIF for nearly a decade. Thanks for a great little app that got regular updates over the years. Talklittle, you are a great human! I will happily pay for your next app.

Thanks for the ten years of procrastinating

Also here after reddit is fun shut down. Pour one out for ya boy. I even listened to whatever the kpop song (jay park yesterday) posted on RiF's goodbye letter. Not sure how that song related to the app shutting down but I went with it

Poured out some of my beer in respect to RIF. Thanks for the amazing mobile experience!

[โ€“] starcat 7 points 2 years ago

I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!

[โ€“] JoblessTree 7 points 2 years ago

RIF was fantastic. Thank you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

T'was an honor and a pleasure shitposting with you.

Glad to begin a new adventure

[โ€“] shoobie 7 points 2 years ago

Boost app for Reddit made me come here, I hope this outgrows Reddit

[โ€“] beeched 7 points 2 years ago

Had RIF for the entire time I've used Reddit, about 9 years. So so sad to see it go, signed up for Lemmy, let's hope it picks up steam! RIP to RIF โ™ฅ๏ธ

[โ€“] GodHimself 7 points 2 years ago

RIP RIF May it rest with the best of them. To me it WAS Reddit. But so far Lemmy has been an easy onboarding! Let's keep the party going!

[โ€“] BonfireOvDreams 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.

To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. ๐Ÿ’•

Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

[โ€“] Antixian 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So wait I logged out of rif because when I was logged in it was getting 429 and empty content... Now that I'm logged out it appears to work fine at the moment. What's happening?

[โ€“] TehBamski 6 points 2 years ago

You found a glitch in the matrix. Proceed with caution.

Will there ever be a Lemmy is Fun? I know about the Tildes thing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future. Meanwhile it will remain free. The NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.

[โ€“] tobor 6 points 2 years ago

@talklittle@lemmyworld, your app was the only way I could ever enjoy Reddit. It's partially thanks to you that I now saw how important 3rd party apps were, and because of that I'm here now. RIF was the best, thanks for all your hard work!

[โ€“] Whenithinkofone 6 points 2 years ago

I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!

[โ€“] DescartEse 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I still open it accidentally on occasion :(
