    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      I was going to leave Apollo on my phone but it kept showing up on my Home Screen in my smart widget and I kept tapping it to open it so it had to go :(

        I’m having the same issue, haha – that muscle memory is gonna take some time to fade.

        Maybe I’ll just disable it but know it’s always there 😅

          I’ve put my wefwef link in place of my RiF icon and often expect RiF to open when I mindlessly tap it. Just discovered Connect though, which seems like a decent app too.

    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.

      Works great I updated and patched my rif and logged back in, everything seems to be working as it did. Thanks for the link.

    I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There’s an empty spot on my home screen now that I’ll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period
