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.
Apollo 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.
Yeah posting this from Memmy. Really impressed with how far the app has improved in just a week to two.
I get a 429 now, sad times are here.
Long live lemmy.
So ling, RIF. You will be missed.
Yeah Reddit is fun was the og imo. Remember browsing that shit circa 2013 on my nexus 5 lol. Pour one out for the homies xx
RIP RIF
I'll miss my RIF 😭
Hello Lemmy 😎
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.
This is how I'm feeling right now too. I'm hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.
I am still using Apollo with my own key. But well RIP to the apps. Will be missed.
I have Infinity installed with my own key, but I realized how much reddit kinda sucks so I just stopped using it overall anyways.
Can’t really stop using Reddit since I mod a university sub. But yea it went to shit for sure.
One day your university 'sub' will be a uni hosted instance on ActivityPub, possibly Lemmy.
I really hope that happens but for now nobody moved even when I created a Lemmy instance for them.
Baconreader user here. Same fate as the rest of the good apps. Trying out Jeroba for the Fediverse. Seems nice so far.
Using Jerboa too and been pleasantly surprised. It's pretty close to the rif experience, for basic browsing at least, which is impressive considering it's still in alpha.
Yep it's dead. What a shame.
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.
lemmy.world is already getting so much slower now
I have some prime real estate on my home screen that I don't want to clear, and I'm going to keep clicking on that fucker out of habit.
Sad day. RIP in peace, RIF.

rif author is working on tildes.net client and has/is associated with https://lemmy.world/c/redditwasfun
that sure was a neat run of a decade using this one app, massive respect to the devs!
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Reddit is no longer fun

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.
Sync for Lemmy is a few weeks away so at least there's light at the end of the tunnel there.
Yeah, 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
