11 years on Reddit and my mobile Reddit experience was 100% via RIF. No RIF. No Reddit on mobile for me (mobile was 95% of my Reddit use).
Reddit Was Fun
Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
it was the best app for accessing reddit. it is gone so now I am done with reddit
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.
RIP RIF. The only app that I could bear to use on android. Thanks for so many awesome years.
Here's to seeing if Lemmy (or maybe tildes.net if we get invites) works out. Seems like a cool community so far
Rest in Feace, RiF
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.
Reddit is fun was my jam. I won't reddit anymore without it.
RIF was fantastic. Thank you.
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. 💕

RIP RIF May it rest with the best of them. To me it WAS Reddit. But so far Lemmy has been an easy onboarding! Let's keep the party going!
So, is it a problem that rif is still working for me some how? I went into it to see the dead app and canceled out of every message prompt after the good bye. Now when I open the app, it works.
Same here, able to load content, comments, everything except log in
T'was an honor and a pleasure shitposting with you.
Glad to begin a new adventure
So wait I logged out of rif because when I was logged in it was getting 429 and empty content... Now that I'm logged out it appears to work fine at the moment. What's happening?
You found a glitch in the matrix. Proceed with caution.
There is this:

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.
If everyone is here, the content is here. So long RIF and thanks for all the fish, but if this takes off it will be so much better than ever before.
I will miss RIF, and I cannot browse reddit without it. I am, however, looking foward to further interacting with the fediverse. I am just trying to remain respectful of places that other people created and established. Reddit was fun, but it was a mess (fake posts for karma, rage bait posts, harassment over the slightest little thing, people who couldn't and wouldn't intelligently articulate their view, etc). I'm hoping to not bring that here.
it was a long run, sad to see it go :( thanks for everything
Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?
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 don't even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.
Sad to see it go, but I'm also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn't been great for quite a while now.
Sad, my most used app over the years.
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??
