it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.
I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.
Thanks for all the fish

I will miss it...
It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
I used RIF for nearly a decade. Thanks for a great little app that got regular updates over the years. Talklittle, you are a great human! I will happily pay for your next app.
Like most of y'all came over when 429s hit up our beloved RIF. Hoping I can learn how to use this number n a similar way.
As an aside was the API rate limiting done earlier than anticipated? Thought it was a 7/1 thing and not a 6/30 @ 10p EST thing.
What was the 429 thing? I had that but then it stopped and RiF is working fine, just no logging in.
Http status 429 is too many requests. It is what the reddit api was responding with hours before they were supposed to
I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.
Picked up premium last week in support. Thanks for all you did!
"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.
I think its meant to be ironic because the term originated on reddit. Maybe I'm reaching

Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you're looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.
Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.
What an awesome app that stole countless hours from me. Thanks. I've decided to give Tildes a shot after seeing that talklittle has plans for an app, and generally I'm embracing the newfound diversity of all these new federated discussion venues. Onward and upward.
Bye RIF Thanks for all those years :'-(
My app is still working as of July 1st when logged out, haven't done any patching or anything. New content is loading.
@talklittle hope this isn't going to incur API charges for you :(
Read only might not need an auth session, so no API token. Id have to go check the docs again been a while since I messed with it.
Same. It like it's in read only mode. I can still view content and read comments.
NSFW subreddits and posts also still work in RIF when logged out. Maybe it's just an oversight that'll be corrected at Reddit HQ next week.
I still have not uninstalled the app..it does not work but I keep in memoriam.
I still open it accidentally on occasion :(
I just moved the icon for lemmy to where rif used to be, and it's been an almost seamless transition
What's your app of choice for Lemmy?
I had never heard of this service before just now
