I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.
Same here, I tried a heap of Reddit apps, and RIF nailed the GUI down, and made reading a pleasure, you could browse for hrs, then go for more hrs, it was just perfect.
Hey @talklittle@lemmy.world, just wanted to say thanks for one more smile. May RIF is Fun RIP in Peace.
RIF was my first and only reddit app since I got an android phone in 2015. I used to use a Nokia Lumia so I had a different app before the, can't remember the name, something with bacon in the name.
But 8 years of using reddit on my phone almost exclusively through reddit is fun. Every phone I've had it's occupied the same space, right next to my Firefox. Maybe I'll replace it with a Lemmy app or maybe I'll just keep it there as a memory. I'm still not sure what I'll do about reddit in general. I've been pretty good at keeping away, but occasionally I'll find myself going back to it out of a deep habit. Maybe RIF not working will break that finally.
Most used app on my phone, it will be missed.
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
Picked up premium last week in support. Thanks for all you did!
I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.
PSA: Boost is best.
RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?
When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.
I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3

Ripe in Pisces.
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
The title of this post reminds me of the last words the MH370 pilot said to air traffic control before he suicided the airplane into the ocean.
