Came here because of the goodbye note from rif. Reddit is rif for me. The original app is just too bulky and annoying.

It's still not the same experience so I've been trying out apps for lemmy. Connect is the closest one I think.

Thank you thank you thank you for the many many years of stellar service. I would be ecstatic if you just so happened to make LiF... you'd have an instant buy, you know!

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

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".

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.

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.

Ngl I was sad when I opened RIF today and it redirected me to the old.reddit login form. RIP RIF, Reddit was fun with you 😔

[-] tonyq@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world

I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!

[-] buxtonwater@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

[-] ThisIsNecessary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you for RIF. For years I thought it was the official app. I once tried reddits official app when it was released and it was a quick "nope" back to RIF. Thanks for the years of fun.

On the other hand, Jerboa for Lemmy has started working for me again.

[-] brunox@feddit.cl 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you for everything

[-] sharkfin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Long time BaconReader user. Very disheartening, but hopeful for the alternatives

[-] Captain_Nipples@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It started working for me again.. it stopped last night, and didn't work this morning... but now it works..

I'm assuming it's a mistake by Reddit?
