It’s the Golden Girls theme song, but also in a way accurate. Rif was my first introduction to reddit. And the first app I downloaded on every phone. One I used…probably too often haha. Don’t confront me with that data, I’m not ready yet. But through the past decade it’s led me to some extraordinary discoveries, been a...
Fuck Reddit.
I was on reddit for the better part of a decade. It helped me through a lot of challenges, and I even lost my virginity because of the site....
I landed here after RIF stopped working on my device and followed RIF link. This will be my new place to find content and see aggregation. Here it is to the end of reddit that starts today! 🍻
They finally cut access....
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…
Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?
Used RIF since 2012, never knew platinum was a thing until the very end. I hope the $3 is a good enough thank you for supporting my reddit addiction for over a decade.
Welcome to Lemmy! Here’s a simple guide for those migrating....
Thanks for all the fond memories. Closest thing I’ve seen to a perfect app and one of the best purchases I’ve made....
It was one of the few apps I had on my first ever smart phone. An HTC Inspire. It never left any device I had from then on out. Forgot my old Google account from it and lost my first paid version license. So I bought it again....
I mean the dev is obviously free to work on whatever he wants, but I’ve had a Tildes account for like 2 years now, and honestly it never got any traction. Lemmy on the other hand is getting a lot of users, and it is desperately missing a non-buggy app....
I will miss it.
RIF was the first app I would download on each of my phones. It was among the first apps I paid for....
I really almost cried. So dramatic but fuck I’m sad. It was like an hour after I told him it’s my last day on reddit....
There is a certain adVanced YouTube manager that can patch the APK of the official app to remove ads. Just my 2¢
Been wanting to leave the platform for a long time. The Fediverse in it’s many shapes and forms has rid me of that desire....
Just created an account here, first post, first community to subscribe to.
Just went to open the app and it force closes, and so ends my chapter of Reddit. Thank you Christian for the most amazing app experience ever.
Typing this from the RIF browser, after making my account here via the RIF browser....
For the past ~2 weeks or so I’ve stayed away from reddit (which used to occupy one to two hours a day of my time). I stopped by today for one final nostalgic use of RIF.
Here’s hoping for a Lemmy version
I suspect I echo the thoughts of many users, but to me, RIF really was reddit. It was an app I downloaded from a friend’s recommendation in probably 2013, and is usually the first install whenever ri switch phones, also boasting pride of place right below where my thumb naturally rests on my home screen....
