I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!
Reddit Was Fun
Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.
I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.
I will miss it...
Will there ever be a Lemmy is Fun? I know about the Tildes thing.
I used Reddit exclusively through RIF. It was perfect for what I wanted out of the site.
A sad day. But now I'm here via Jerboa and like it a lot so far.
Came here after years of buying and using RIF. It was a good ride, let's boost Lemmy.
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
I used the official app for the first time today. Boy does it suck! Mobile and RIF is done. How the hell am I going to take a shit again? 10 years of training... I don't know how my bowels will react!
RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
RIP RIF you were the GOAT
RIF is Reddit for me. Unless I'm at a computer. Sorry they did us dirty, but thanks for the past ten years.
I'm still getting current Reddit data out of RiF, as of right now. Not sure exactly what's going on there.
Same, it logged me out but it's still updating. Anyone know how/why?
No clue. But it let me log right back in
Also, now that Jerboa is working. This is much better. The other Android app I was using was having a hard time
I've used RIF for over six years. It's crazy to think about all the stuff the world has been through during that time. RIF was a huge source of community for me - especially during the pandemic. It stinks to say goodbye but all things end and I'm sure something better (maybe Lemmy?) will eventually fill the void. Really sad to see the position that Reddit has taken on all this.
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sad™️
What an awesome app that stole countless hours from me. Thanks. I've decided to give Tildes a shot after seeing that talklittle has plans for an app, and generally I'm embracing the newfound diversity of all these new federated discussion venues. Onward and upward.
11 years of reddit, something like 350k comment karma (10k post), and all through your app.
Thanks mate
Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long
I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself
Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".
thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.
RestInPeace in Peace
Thank you thank you thank you for the many many years of stellar service. I would be ecstatic if you just so happened to make LiF... you'd have an instant buy, you know!
Came here because of the goodbye note from rif. Reddit is rif for me. The original app is just too bulky and annoying.
It's still not the same experience so I've been trying out apps for lemmy. Connect is the closest one I think.
Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
Goodnight sweet prince
My app is still working as of July 1st when logged out, haven't done any patching or anything. New content is loading.
@talklittle hope this isn't going to incur API charges for you :(
RIF was one of the first apps I downloaded when I got a smart phone. I was looking for things to do with it and saw it trending in the App Store so I decided to check out this Reddit thing. For over a decade (until I moved to an iPhone) RIF was Reddit to me. I’ve gone to Reddit through official channels only a hand full of times and it’s a terrible experience.
Very bummed to see RIF and Apollo dead. To me, that means Reddit is dead. Whatever is leftover is a shell of what it once was.
I used Infinity for reddit on Android....I could have switched back to the original app and been ok in a lot of ways, but I know I would feel like a scab
