Goodnight, RIF

Came here because RIF shut down and I can't believe how bad the regular reddit app is. Here's hoping that Lemmy is the new reddit!

LEMMY IS FUN ... PLEASE. I will pay.

RIF was fantastic. Thank you.

Rest in peace in peace

Rest in fun RIF
Now do "RIF is fun for reddit" and you'll get the joke.

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.

RestInPeace in Peace

RIF is why I'm here, I deleted it from my front page, realized I hated going to the reddit website, and looked for something better.

I know he's working on something different, for a different site, but I also hope he's considering a LIF or something like that.

What site post Reddit is he tying into?

I'll miss Reddit and mostly RIF, but I'm not staying on that sinking ship. I hope Lemmy and Mastodon will get more and more traffic so it just replaces these toxic platforms at one point.

RIP RIF, you will be missed.

Thanks for the app, @talklittle. I purchased RIF back in 2012 and it has been the only way I've used reddit on mobile ever since. Sad to see it go.

I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There's an empty spot on my home screen now that I'll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period

LIF when? 🥹

RIP RIF

tbf i didn't actually stop using redditisfun. I followed the guide to patching RIF with revanced which changes the user agent of the app to hide from reddit that you're using redditisfun

The instructions are here https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/14niwgu/revanced_patches_for_boost_infinity_rif_is_fun?sort=new

Gonna plug revanced here, too, since i already had revanced because i use it to have adfree YouTube and YouTube music with unlimited skips. Been using it since it was called vanced, when they just shared modified APKs. Then Google shut them down with a cease and desist letter so revanced was born. It's a system for patching apps yourself which gives the developers a bit more legal cover.

RIP RIF :-/

Would pay for Rif for lemmy

LemmyIsFun

Throwing in my appreciation for the best damn Reddit app there ever was.

RIF is Fun was amazing. So well designed and everything just worked.

RIP golden platinum. We had our good times

A decade of a truly-superior user experience.

I can't even bring myself to delete it. I feel like it needs to stay memorialized in my app list.

Thanks for such a great product, devs. It'll be sorely missed.

I was going to leave Apollo on my phone but it kept showing up on my Home Screen in my smart widget and I kept tapping it to open it so it had to go :(
- I'm having the same issue, haha -- that muscle memory is gonna take some time to fade.
  Maybe I'll just disable it but know it's always there 😅

Thank you talklittle! You made redditing so enjoyable with RiF. I was introduced to your app about a decade ago and never stopped using it. I spent years writing exhaustive and informative comments, none of it would've been possible without the functionality of RiF.

I'm glad to see you on the Fediverse now :)

My first comment on this site as well, thank you RiF, you were the best app.

In fact, I found that the old version can still be used

PSA: Boost is best.

Just realized I've been using RIF from start to finish... 14 years. Everything else was shit. And that's not just kind of my opinion.

Holy crap me too. Tried using reddit in the android browser of the time and it was a terrible experience. Found RIF in 2009 and never looked back.
But it's been 14 years of silence It's been 14 years of pain It's been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again

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. 💕

Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world , I've enjoyed RIF a lot since 2014.

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!

It started working for me again.. it stopped last night, and didn't work this morning... but now it works..

I'm assuming it's a mistake by Reddit?

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

Missed opportunity for

Rif in peace

RIP in peace makes no sense at all…
- It's a meme

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.

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.

I really truly appreciate how RIF changed my experience with Reddit and allowed me to curate my front page.

Was really struggling with awful content being pushed at me, but I still wanted to stay connected with the outside world. RIF allowed me filter out harmful stuff and make the whole thing so much better.

I miss my support communities & super niche interest subs. A lot. But I'm at least thankful that I got to experience them while I could.

Thank you, RIF!

Is there a chance that the dev can rewrite rif for lemmy? I love rif, my favorite app. I'm not using some Lemmy app and Im not loving it

I tried Jerboa, Liftoff and Connect Connect is the best one so far. I'm inclined to try Boost and Sync, those are repurposed reddit apps, but Connect is pretty decent.

Rip in peace rif is fun :(

I still open it accidentally on occasion :(

I just moved the icon for lemmy to where rif used to be, and it's been an almost seamless transition
- What's your app of choice for Lemmy?

Missed the opportunity to put. "RIF" in peace hahaaha

Rest in Feace

RIF was the only Reddit I knew....

So long!! Hello! Lemmy! Cute name 😉

There is this:

Or if you are looking at stuff on Reddit still: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14nb5qs/comment/jq87sjd/

I actually appreciate the humor in the lyrics.
That said, it drives me nuts when people don't consider syllable counts in parody songs.
"This'll be the day that I die" can't be sung to the same tune as "soon I'll be a rich guy."
Probably should have gone with "soon I'll be a very rich guy." But the rest of the parody is written the same way unfortunately, so it'd all need to be fixed.
I'm fun at parties.
- should have just asked ChatGPT to do it

I still have not uninstalled the app..it does not work but I keep in memoriam.

I had never heard of this service before just now
