Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king

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

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

In fact, I found that the old version can still be used

RIP RIF :-/

Had RIF for the entire time I've used Reddit, about 9 years. So so sad to see it go, signed up for Lemmy, let's hope it picks up steam! RIP to RIF ♥️

Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long

I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself

Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".

Same here. For me, I think Reddit on Firefox is worse than Lemmy. With that said, I just signed up so my opinion may change, but so far so good

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.

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 😔

Is it actually down? A friend of mine says he still has access to it. I don't have an Android, do I can't confirm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
