RID (reddit is dead)

...very ironic acronym, lol

Long time BaconReader user. Very disheartening, but hopeful for the alternatives

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?

I think that RIF has lost enough users that sometimes it's traffic can get through the free API limit.

Rest in Peace my love.

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

RIF is Reddit for me. Unless I'm at a computer. Sorry they did us dirty, but thanks for the past ten years.

I used the official app for the first time today. Boy does it suck! Mobile and RIF is done. How the hell am I going to take a shit again? 10 years of training... I don't know how my bowels will react!

You can continue to do the same, just with Lemmy.

Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.

RIF was my first and only reddit app since I got an android phone in 2015. I used to use a Nokia Lumia so I had a different app before the, can't remember the name, something with bacon in the name.

But 8 years of using reddit on my phone almost exclusively through reddit is fun. Every phone I've had it's occupied the same space, right next to my Firefox. Maybe I'll replace it with a Lemmy app or maybe I'll just keep it there as a memory. I'm still not sure what I'll do about reddit in general. I've been pretty good at keeping away, but occasionally I'll find myself going back to it out of a deep habit. Maybe RIF not working will break that finally.

I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.

RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?

When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.

I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3
