RID (reddit is dead)

...very ironic acronym, lol

[-] 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.

[-] BeauBleu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

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.

I'm going to miss RIF. I actually found reddit through that app in the play store. After 8 years of using it and 7.5 of having an account, it'll take some getting used to not opening RIF. I'll keep it on my phone as a memorial.

RIP RIF

Today I opened it a few times out of habit. That loafing circle just kept spinning and spinning. Goodnight sweet sweet RIF. I will take you from my home screen, but never from my phone.

[-] NotMartyMcFly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I sort of did too. I deleted RiF last night and replaced it with another app on my Android. I probably opened that app 20 times just out of habit

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

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

Why does it still work though? 🤔

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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".

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!

[-] GoatRodeo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

RestInPeace in Peace

[-] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

RIF was the only Reddit I knew....

So long!! Hello! Lemmy! Cute name 😉

[-] brunox@feddit.cl 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you for everything

[-] HollowNotion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

RIP RIF :-/

[-] buxtonwater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

[-] Razgriz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king

[-] alnilam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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
