Good bye to an old friend :(

Reddit is no longer fun

used RIF for 7 years, tried using the official app but RIF was just so much better. when i uninstalled it two weeks out of protest, it really felt like i had to say goodbye to an old friend. i do enjoy lemmy, but...

I'm a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it's gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.

The Fediverse has been really cool and I'm glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I've found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!

No longer the front page of the internet anymore for sure.

Rest in peace. I hope Reddit soon follows.

We’ve been here before. Some of us old fucks have gone from BBS to IRC to sites like SA, GenMay, Digg, Reddit. It’s jus the nature of the beast.

Gonna miss the solid App support Reddit had but it’s only a matter of time before there are many great options for Lenny. Wefwef while browser based is actually really nice!

Reddit apparently doesn't remember the digg migration and I hope they suffer the same fate.

I know everyone has made the switch, but the ReVanced team have stolen the API keys out of the real Reddit app and have made patchers available for multiple Reddit apps including RiF.

You'll need a fresh copy of the APK and:

https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager

Obviously NSFW is a no go but everything else should work.

I'm gonna miss RIF... Cannot stand the official app.

Rip, rif.

I used RIF for a decade...still feels off without it

Just gonna throw one up for the dark mode homies. Good bye rif, you will be missed.

Been using RIF for years, you never know how important something is until it's gone :(

Excited for the sync Lemmy app

I paid for RIF and I'd do it again in a second. Hopefully the lemmy ecosystem comes up to its high standard one day!

I took a last screenshot of Apollo and its final announcement but I haven’t deleted the app.

I did replaced the Home Screen icon with WefWef and it feels very great now , almost like home.

Yeah was browsing Apollo when it dropped out. I knew it was coming but still disappointing.

interestingly, my RIF wouldn't load pages last night and this morning, but now does...

In case no one mentioned it yet, I heard about wefwef.app from another post and it's a really nice looking frontend for this site.

I've been using it for about day now but I like it better than the base website for sure. Some people say it's like Apollo but I wouldn't know since I used relayforReddit.

Moved here. Just tried out summit. Got the RIF vibes.

Rif golden platinum is still working for me. 1:00 p.m. utc

I only remember RIF being the mobile app. Reddit's app didn't show up till recently. Miss it already. I can't seem to uninstall it. Very sad day.

I'll be keeping installed. Not to hold out hope, but for the memories of good times.

It probably drained more battery then anything else. RIP GOOD FRIEND

Just uninstalled from my phone. Used it for years. A shame.

I'm delaying the inevitable with the patches that revanced dropped but it will never get another update and it will one day become unusable. I will miss it fully when it does.

Connect for Lemmy on Android is working great for me as a replacement to RIF

This is my sadness.

I was really sad to see it dead. I've been coming here more and more and I think I finally found an app that will replace it for Lemmy. I'm using wefwef and it's been much better than the other apps so far.

Hurt just as much deleting Apollo off my phone. But a bright future lies ahead for Memmy and the like :)

I'm so sad. I miss it. Happy to be a fellow Lemming tho

waits for the loss of Boost

There's just no mobile reddit without RIF, it's all I've ever known and the official app doesn't even compare. It's a sad day indeed.

I just opened Infinity...and...it's still working? I didn't take the last update. Hmm.

I can still access Infinity. It's a ticking clock.

F - So long and thanks for all the fish 😪

I feel you. ~ former sync pro & boost user

okay

Also a RIFugee. Spez is great at driving Reddit into the ground.

I'm going to miss RIF. :(
