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.

thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.

Why does it still work though? 🤔

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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!

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

So sad to see RIF go, I was using it since I first found reddit about a decade ago. Fuck spez and his greediness

I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world

Most used app on my phone, it will be missed.

[–] Whenithinkofone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ngl I was sad when I opened RIF today and it redirected me to the old.reddit login form. RIP RIF, Reddit was fun with you 😔

[–] ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] bunnyfc@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I've used reddit for 11 years and this was what I used it with mostly. Thank you!

"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.

Thank you for everything

On the other hand, Jerboa for Lemmy has started working for me again.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

RIP RIF :-/
