RIF will be shutting down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit Inc’s API changes and their hostile treatment of developers building on their platform.

    I’m going to really miss RiF. The UI was so clean and information dense that it is hard to beat.

    I heard the developer is working on an app for Tildes, but I would be thrilled if they announced an app for Lemmy as well.

      Same here. RiF exclusive for over half a decade.

    RIF was my way to get to Reddit. I will miss it terribly. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

    My melancholy is tempered by the Fedirverse, Lemmy, and particularly, here at Beehaw! 😄

    This feels like a better and nicer home, anyway. I’m sad for the loss, and this smaller community won’t have what the scale of Reddit’s user base could bring…but the nicer and happier community here has its own virtues.

    It reminds me of the best of Slashdot, among other small and very valuable online communities of yore. 🙂
