As much as I like browsing the Fediverse with Liftoff, RIF was just such a refined app. At the end RIF was what Reddit could have been.
I get a 429 now, sad times are here.
Long live lemmy.
RIP RIF

Apollo is gone as well. Honestly, more legitimately sad than I expected. Mid-scrolling comments it closed out and no longer opens. I think I’d have preferred not to experience its death and it just happened while I slept lol. Memmy on iOS seems to be what I’ll move too and it is rapidly improving, but Apollo was just so damn good. Shucks.
Yeah posting this from Memmy. Really impressed with how far the app has improved in just a week to two.
Posting from wefwef.app, which seems to be the most alike Apollo.
Kinda want something more alike RIF tho. Also, I dunno why wefwef seems to hide what server a community is hosted on.

Dang, that must have been quite a shock having your favorite Reddit app just die on you mid-usage… knowing you’ll never be able to use it again.
So ling, RIF. You will be missed.
Yeah Reddit is fun was the og imo. Remember browsing that shit circa 2013 on my nexus 5 lol. Pour one out for the homies xx

Gotta say, “RWF for ____” is a pretty good name. They can make a dog mascot for the app symbol.
Yep it’s dead. What a shame.
Longest serving app on all my Android devices since 2012
Every time I got a new phone, one of the first apps I would install was RIF.
Fuck u/spez for ruining a great experience.
So sad. I’m enjoying the fediverse so far but it just doesn’t have the userbase to support the more niche communities I enjoy on reddit.
Yet
This is how I’m feeling right now too. I’m hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.
We’re back to the olden days when Reddit was new.
I’ll miss my RIF 😭
Hello Lemmy 😎
that sure was a neat run of a decade using this one app, massive respect to the devs!
I am still using Apollo with my own key. But well RIP to the apps. Will be missed.
I have Infinity installed with my own key, but I realized how much reddit kinda sucks so I just stopped using it overall anyways.
Can’t really stop using Reddit since I mod a university sub. But yea it went to shit for sure.
One day your university ‘sub’ will be a uni hosted instance on ActivityPub, possibly Lemmy.
I really hope that happens but for now nobody moved even when I created a Lemmy instance for them.
Good on you for trying though
Used RIF for a decade, what a sad day but happy to be here!
Baconreader user here. Same fate as the rest of the good apps. Trying out Jeroba for the Fediverse. Seems nice so far.
Using Jerboa too and been pleasantly surprised. It’s pretty close to the rif experience, for basic browsing at least, which is impressive considering it’s still in alpha.
I have some prime real estate on my home screen that I don’t want to clear, and I’m going to keep clicking on that fucker out of habit.
Sad day. RIP in peace, RIF.
