Thank you so much u/talklittle for 10+ years of enjoyment. The thing that stood out about rif was how clean and information dense the list view was. It reminded me of old.reddit where you're looking at a list of posts instead of constantly scrolling like the newer reddit card design. Makes me feel slightly more sane about staring at my phone.

Very excited to see where your future takes you. reddit was always going to fail. Every site or social media network will eventually fail. In its place will fall something else. As ridiculous as your experience has been, perhaps this is for the best.

I used Infinity for reddit on Android....I could have switched back to the original app and been ok in a lot of ways, but I know I would feel like a scab

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.

I've used reddit for 11 years and this was what I used it with mostly. Thank you!

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

Ngl I was sad when I opened RIF today and it redirected me to the old.reddit login form. RIP RIF, Reddit was fun with you 😔

"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.

I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!

Thank you for RIF. For years I thought it was the official app. I once tried reddits official app when it was released and it was a quick "nope" back to RIF. Thanks for the years of fun.

On the other hand, Jerboa for Lemmy has started working for me again.

To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. 💕

Good night, sweet prince. You weren't a good app... you were the best.
