RIF was fantastic. Thank you.

Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.

RIPRIF

Hello Lemmy is fun??

RID (reddit is dead)

...very ironic acronym, lol

[–] ShadowZone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I used Reddit exclusively through RIF. It was perfect for what I wanted out of the site.

A sad day. But now I'm here via Jerboa and like it a lot so far.

To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. 💕

I've used RIF for over six years. It's crazy to think about all the stuff the world has been through during that time. RIF was a huge source of community for me - especially during the pandemic. It stinks to say goodbye but all things end and I'm sure something better (maybe Lemmy?) will eventually fill the void. Really sad to see the position that Reddit has taken on all this.

After 9 years of RIF this was a weird weekend and boring poops! lol First post here using Jerboa and like the interface so far.

RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sad™️

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.

[–] Pizza@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future, meanwhile it remains free. NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

I used Infinity for reddit on Android....I could have switched back to the original app and been ok in a lot of ways, but I know I would feel like a scab

Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.

[–] Lemmynkainen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why does it still work though? 🤔

[–] BeauBleu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.

[–] Zellith@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Goodnight sweet prince

[–] makabayan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long

I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself

Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".
