It happened. Bye bye, RIF!
It happened. Bye bye, RIF!
As much as I like browsing the Fediverse with Liftoff, RIF was just such a refined app. At the end RIF was what Reddit could have been.
I get a 429 now, sad times are here.
Long live lemmy.
16 0 ReplyApollo is gone as well. Honestly, more legitimately sad than I expected. Mid-scrolling comments it closed out and no longer opens. I think I’d have preferred not to experience its death and it just happened while I slept lol. Memmy on iOS seems to be what I’ll move too and it is rapidly improving, but Apollo was just so damn good. Shucks.
14 0 ReplyYeah posting this from Memmy. Really impressed with how far the app has improved in just a week to two.

So sad. I'm enjoying the fediverse so far but it just doesn't have the userbase to support the more niche communities I enjoy on reddit.
4 0 ReplyThis is how I'm feeling right now too. I'm hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.

Longest serving app on all my Android devices since 2012
Every time I got a new phone, one of the first apps I would install was RIF.
Fuck u/spez for ruining a great experience.

Wanted to check out Sync today, I was greeted with the app repeatedly closing immediately after opening it. So that's dead as well. What a sad day this is for all of the 3rd party Reddit app devs.
0 0 ReplySync for Lemmy is a few weeks away so at least there's light at the end of the tunnel there.
0 0 ReplyYeah, really looking towards both it and Boost for Lemmy. Both seem like great looking clients I'd use a lot. In the meantime, it's just Jerboa and Connect lol
