How? Why?...

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...

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....

Typing this from the RIF browser, after making my account here via the RIF browser....

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....

RIF was important to me in a way that's hard to describe. I will always consider it the pinnacle of minimalism functional design. and it was not function over form either, RIF looked amazing....

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

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...

They finally cut access....

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¢

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

RIF was the only reddit mobile app I've used in my 12 years on the site, absolutely going to miss it.

Everyone was there so I was but now that they moved I’m so happy fuck reddit and I hope it dies

I've spent more time on RIF than on any other app. It will be sorely missed.

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...

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)....

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!

Fuck Reddit.

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.

RIF was the first app I would download on each of my phones. It was among the first apps I paid for....
