    Came here because RIF shut down and I can’t believe how bad the regular reddit app is. Here’s hoping that Lemmy is the new reddit!

    RIF is why I’m here, I deleted it from my front page, realized I hated going to the reddit website, and looked for something better.

    I know he’s working on something different, for a different site, but I also hope he’s considering a LIF or something like that.

    Came here because of the goodbye note from rif. Reddit is rif for me. The original app is just too bulky and annoying.

    It’s still not the same experience so I’ve been trying out apps for lemmy. Connect is the closest one I think.

    RIP RIF

    tbf i didn’t actually stop using redditisfun. I followed the guide to patching RIF with revanced which changes the user agent of the app to hide from reddit that you’re using redditisfun

    The instructions are here https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/14niwgu/revanced_patches_for_boost_infinity_rif_is_fun?sort=new

    Gonna plug revanced here, too, since i already had revanced because i use it to have adfree YouTube and YouTube music with unlimited skips. Been using it since it was called vanced, when they just shared modified APKs. Then Google shut them down with a cease and desist letter so revanced was born. It’s a system for patching apps yourself which gives the developers a bit more legal cover.

    Thank you talklittle! You made redditing so enjoyable with RiF. I was introduced to your app about a decade ago and never stopped using it. I spent years writing exhaustive and informative comments, none of it would’ve been possible without the functionality of RiF.

    I’m glad to see you on the Fediverse now :)

    I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!

    14 years on Reddit, my main account would have been 13 years old next week and I finally took the plunge and deleted it. Screw those guys. Is it weird that I felt genuinely sad deleting it, though? Like, I’m 37 years old, a parent, married. I feel a bit silly.

    RIF was my first Reddit app. I did move over to Boost a couple of years ago but RIF will always be my o.g. Android experience.

    Thanks for all your work, talklittle - you improved a lot of lives, including mine, with this app.

    I am still baffled that Reddit didn’t have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.
