T'was an honor and a pleasure shitposting with you.
Glad to begin a new adventure
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. 💕
Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.
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.
It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
I will miss it...
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.
Jerboa has a dark mode I discovered, and density scaling to feel very RIF

I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.
Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future. Meanwhile it will remain free. The NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

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

RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.
RIPRIF
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sad™️
Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king
Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you're looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.
Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.
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
