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.

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

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.

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.

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 golden platinum. We had our good times

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 :)

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 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.

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

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.
