I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.
Reddit Was Fun
Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
Same here, I tried a heap of Reddit apps, and RIF nailed the GUI down, and made reading a pleasure, you could browse for hrs, then go for more hrs, it was just perfect.
I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.
Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you're looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.
Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.
Ripe in Pisces.
RIP RIF you were the GOAT
it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.
I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.
Thanks for all the fish
Good night, sweet prince. You weren't a good app... you were the best.
RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?
When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.
I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3
PSA: Boost is best.
I still open it accidentally on occasion :(
I just moved the icon for lemmy to where rif used to be, and it's been an almost seamless transition
What's your app of choice for Lemmy?
