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!...

Use distributed, federated services like Lemmy, mastodon etc....
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...
Best Reddit app i’ve ever used. You will be sorely missed. Rip RIF and Reddit.
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.
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....
How? Why?...
I'll replace the icon on my homescreen with a Lemmy app, but I can't bring myself to fully uninstall RiF....
Here is the community Lemmy Apps...
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....
If you want to fill the gap on your home screen where rif was (RIP and thank you!), I have made good experiences with Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect (was not too happy with Jerboa)....
Been using RiF ever since I had an Android phone. It’s a sad day now…
Back when reddit was arguing in favor of net neutrality against Ajit Pai, I wrote them a note which they included in their FCC filing. I think there were all of five or so redditors they included for that....
sad to see it go, hope the freakout and holdmy subs come to lemmy… was only thing i really used reddit for. deleted account a year ago cos was tired of appealing bullshit suspensions and bans
I don’t know how much of an effort it would be by the developer but we love RIF and maybe it’s worth it....

I’ve used this since the late 2010’s, but I only purchased the golden platinum version on January 2nd, 2020. I’ll never forget you and I’ll never forgive u/Spez from taking you away from me.
Created this account just to say thank you RIF team. Been using it for many years to the point where I thought this IS reddit. Sad that they act up now and we’re loosing you. Only the best wishes for the team, good luck for your future.
The RIF community persists, even through the end of a wild ride. I’ll always remember all the helpful folks that made Reddit enjoyable. Goodbye, old friend. Here’s to a new Chapter!
I joined reddit when I was 13, I'm 23 now. Reddit is fun was an amazing app, I made a lot of friends, laughed, cried, saw some shit that scarred me for life and I loved it. Its crazy for me because I never realized until now how much of an impact it had on my life. I hope that Lemmy takes off, because I already miss rif. Truly...
Reddit isn't what it once was, and never will be again.
