    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!

    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.

      Now do “RIF is fun for reddit” and you’ll get the joke.

    Thanks for the app, @talklittle. I purchased RIF back in 2012 and it has been the only way I’ve used reddit on mobile ever since. Sad to see it go.

    I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There’s an empty spot on my home screen now that I’ll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period

    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.

    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.

    I’ll miss Reddit and mostly RIF, but I’m not staying on that sinking ship. I hope Lemmy and Mastodon will get more and more traffic so it just replaces these toxic platforms at one point.

    RIP RIF, you will be missed.

    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 :)

      In fact, I found that the old version can still be used
