redditwasfun

I just wanted to say: if you were to take every piece of software I’ve ever used in my 28 years on this earth, and you added up the cumulative amount of time I spent using each of them, RiF would be the winner. And it isn’t even close. And I now feel like I always took it for granted. It was always there, in the top left...

I chose this username a couple of weeks ago so that in five years I will post something random on Lemmy and look back realizing I haven’t thought about Reddit in a while…

I’ll replace the icon on my homescreen with a Lemmy app, but I can’t bring myself to fully uninstall RiF....

Best Reddit app i've ever used. You will be sorely missed. Rip RIF and Reddit.

Back in 2015, I was in the hospital for two weeks, trying not to die (again), and I couldn’t have a laptop but I had my phone. Reddit was possible due to RiF....

I’ve used this since the late 2010’s, but I only purchased the golden platinum version on January 2nd, 2020. I’ll never forget you and I’ll never forgive u/Spez from taking you away from me.

Been using RiF ever since I had an Android phone. It's a sad day now...

Here is the community Lemmy Apps...

If you want to fill the gap on your home screen where rif was (RIP and thank you!), I have made good experiences with Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect (was not too happy with Jerboa)....

Your app will be sorely missed!

Thanks for everything RIF. You made Reddit usable, and, well..fun. Going to miss it, and without RIF I will simply not be using reddit anymore on mobile. I refuse to use the official app, I'd rather just fill that time with something else. Good luck in your future endeavours, RIF team.

Lurked reddit for 12 years, less than 2k karma. Rif was the only reddit I called home. Glad we are sticking together. Now, back to lurking.

sad to see it go, hope the freakout and holdmy subs come to lemmy… was only thing i really used reddit for. deleted account a year ago cos was tired of appealing bullshit suspensions and bans

Reddit isn't what it once was, and never will be again.

Created this account just to say thank you RIF team. Been using it for many years to the point where I thought this IS reddit. Sad that they act up now and we're loosing you. Only the best wishes for the team, good luck for your future.

The RIF community persists, even through the end of a wild ride. I'll always remember all the helpful folks that made Reddit enjoyable. Goodbye, old friend. Here's to a new Chapter!

I joined reddit when I was 13, I'm 23 now. Reddit is fun was an amazing app, I made a lot of friends, laughed, cried, saw some shit that scarred me for life and I loved it. Its crazy for me because I never realized until now how much of an impact it had on my life. I hope that Lemmy takes off, because I already miss rif. Truly...

I've been using Reddit is Fun for almost a decade, well before the official app was ever a thing. It's not the prettiest Reddit app out there, but it's by far the most usable, well thought out, feature rich app out there....

I've had RiF since before the name change, since before Golden Platinum even. It's been on every single phone I've owned for over a decade!...

I remember discovering reddit a dozen years ago or so, and got hooked. At the time, there was no official reddit app, so I looked around at all the apps out there for my android phone, BaconReader, something blue, and then finally settled on RIF as the best experience. At an hour a day, for 12 years, that's 4380 hours I've spent...
