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.
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....
So I was reading a article about the recent shutdown and it mentioned Reddit is Fun still works but you can’t log in… so I logged out of my account and bam everything was working fine. I dont know when it will actually shut down but this is for whoever needs to hear this. Also thank you Lemmy for welcoming us refugees in.
It was one of the few apps I had on my first ever smart phone. An HTC Inspire. It never left any device I had from then on out. Forgot my old Google account from it and lost my first paid version license. So I bought it again....
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...
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)....
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!
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
The vanced community is now rolling out a Patch do use our own API keys, and so, allow RiF to continue being used on reddit. Any of you tried this yet? (It's 3:25am and i'm on my phone, so i couldt look too much into it)
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.
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...
