Reddit Was Fun

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.

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.

RestInPeace in Peace

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.

Rest in peace in peace

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

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.

RIP RIF :-/

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.

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.

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.

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

RIP golden platinum. We had our good times

Would pay for Rif for lemmy

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 :)

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. 💕

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

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.

Thank you @[email protected] , 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

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.

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 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

Rip in peace rif is fun :(

PSA: Boost is best.
