Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc....

Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives...

I am pretty tight for time since my second child was born yesterday. For my first I would let my wife sleep while I held my baby and browsed reddit for hours. The timing of all this couldn't be worse for me. Nothing to do while I'm pinned down with a baby!...

When I open a post, I only want to see the parent comments. To see the reply comments of a specific parent comment, I could then unfold only these replies....

After saying goodbye to RIF and reddit, it’s time for me to move on. So far I’ve used 4 apps for Lemmy and this is my personal ranking:...

I got this notification right in the middle of getting myself set up here. I used the awful official app only to post albums, but rif was my app for everything else. RIP in peace rif.

Old habits die hard, just saying.

I opened RIF app today (7/1) and saw this, any idea what’s going on?...

How? Why?...

So I was reading a article about the recent shutdown and it mentioned Reddit is Fun still works but you can’t log in… so I logged out of my account and bam everything was working fine. I dont know when it will actually shut down but this is for whoever needs to hear this. Also thank you Lemmy for welcoming us refugees in.

I just wanted to say: if you were to take every piece of software I’ve ever used in my 28 years on this earth, and you added up the cumulative amount of time I spent using each of them, RiF would be the winner. And it isn’t even close. And I now feel like I always took it for granted. It was always there, in the top left...

I noticed that when I was logged in, whenever I refreshed I would get a 429 error. However after clearing my app data, and opening the app as a subconscious abatement of boredom, I realized I was still being fed live content....

People don't care about you, only what you can do for them. Thats a deeply cynical point of view but its emblematic of Reddit now....

I chose this username a couple of weeks ago so that in five years I will post something random on Lemmy and look back realizing I haven’t thought about Reddit in a while…

Text of the webpage:...

I'll replace the icon on my homescreen with a Lemmy app, but I can't bring myself to fully uninstall RiF....

Best Reddit app i’ve ever used. You will be sorely missed. Rip RIF and Reddit.

Back in 2015, I was in the hospital for two weeks, trying not to die (again), and I couldn’t have a laptop but I had my phone. Reddit was possible due to RiF....
