Also my first comment on Lemmy. RIP RIF

14 years on Reddit, my main account would have been 13 years old next week and I finally took the plunge and deleted it. Screw those guys. Is it weird that I felt genuinely sad deleting it, though? Like, I'm 37 years old, a parent, married. I feel a bit silly.

The Internet is a river, not a pond. It was nice while it lasted, but we continue on.

RIF was my first Reddit app. I did move over to Boost a couple of years ago but RIF will always be my o.g. Android experience.

Thanks for all your work, talklittle - you improved a lot of lives, including mine, with this app.

It would be awesome if RIF could be repurposed to be a front end for lemmy.

RIF was the only Reddit I knew....

So long!! Hello! Lemmy! Cute name 😉

11 years on Reddit and my mobile Reddit experience was 100% via RIF. No RIF. No Reddit on mobile for me (mobile was 95% of my Reddit use).

Rest in Feace, RiF

My first comment on lemmy! RIP RIF

Reddit is fun was my jam. I won't reddit anymore without it.

10 years on reddit, most of that through RIF.

It feels like I've been kicked out of my home by monsters.

So wait I logged out of rif because when I was logged in it was getting 429 and empty content... Now that I'm logged out it appears to work fine at the moment. What's happening?

My first comment on this site as well, thank you RiF, you were the best app.

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

I am still baffled that Reddit didn't have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.

"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.

Had RIF for the entire time I've used Reddit, about 9 years. So so sad to see it go, signed up for Lemmy, let's hope it picks up steam! RIP to RIF ♥️

how is it still working on my phone?

Like most of y'all came over when 429s hit up our beloved RIF. Hoping I can learn how to use this number n a similar way.

As an aside was the API rate limiting done earlier than anticipated? Thought it was a 7/1 thing and not a 6/30 @ 10p EST thing.

If everyone is here, the content is here. So long RIF and thanks for all the fish, but if this takes off it will be so much better than ever before.

Sad, my most used app over the years.

Thanks Talklittle!

RIF Golden Platinum was my most used app since 2011

Another Reddit refugee reporting in. RIF was how I reddited... It will be greatly missed.

I don't even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.

Sad to see it go, but I'm also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn't been great for quite a while now.

Also here after reddit is fun shut down. Pour one out for ya boy. I even listened to whatever the kpop song (jay park yesterday) posted on RiF's goodbye letter. Not sure how that song related to the app shutting down but I went with it

Sad day, can't wait for LIF 🤟

I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!

So, is it a problem that rif is still working for me some how? I went into it to see the dead app and canceled out of every message prompt after the good bye. Now when I open the app, it works.

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. 💕

RIP RIF May it rest with the best of them. To me it WAS Reddit. But so far Lemmy has been an easy onboarding! Let's keep the party going!

Opening RIF today is so depressing 😭😭

Hello Lemmy is fun??

Boost app for Reddit made me come here, I hope this outgrows Reddit

RIP RIF

T'was an honor and a pleasure shitposting with you.

Glad to begin a new adventure
