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

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

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!

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

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

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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 😔

So sad to see RIF go, I was using it since I first found reddit about a decade ago. Fuck spez and his greediness

I've used reddit for 11 years and this was what I used it with mostly. Thank you!

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

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

Thank you for everything

[–] Grungeehamster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] 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

[–] Razgriz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HollowNotion@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

RIP RIF :-/

[–] 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.
