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!

[-] kamyl@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I'm still getting current Reddit data out of RiF, as of right now. Not sure exactly what's going on there.

[-] HalfJack@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Same, it logged me out but it's still updating. Anyone know how/why?

[-] Captain_Nipples@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No clue. But it let me log right back in

Also, now that Jerboa is working. This is much better. The other Android app I was using was having a hard time

Poured out some of my beer in respect to RIF. Thanks for the amazing mobile experience!

[-] AlexisFR@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?

I will miss it...

I actually appreciate the humor in the lyrics.

That said, it drives me nuts when people don't consider syllable counts in parody songs.

"This'll be the day that I die" can't be sung to the same tune as "soon I'll be a rich guy."

Probably should have gone with "soon I'll be a very rich guy." But the rest of the parody is written the same way unfortunately, so it'd all need to be fixed.

I'm fun at parties.

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

[-] toolverine@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I used RIF for nearly a decade. Thanks for a great little app that got regular updates over the years. Talklittle, you are a great human! I will happily pay for your next app.

[-] shectabeni@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.

[-] pjb272@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Olap@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Jerboa has a dark mode I discovered, and density scaling to feel very RIF

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

[-] Pizza@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future. Meanwhile it will remain free. The NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

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.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] TheGreyMatters@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

[-] Murple@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] exemplarofthekauyon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

RIPRIF

[-] flamekhan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

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

RID (reddit is dead)

...very ironic acronym, lol

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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".

Goodnight sweet prince

[-] nunzilla@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you're looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.

Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.
