I used the official app for the first time today. Boy does it suck! Mobile and RIF is done. How the hell am I going to take a shit again? 10 years of training... I don't know how my bowels will react!

RIP RIF you were the GOAT
RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?
When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.
I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3
It’s the same for me. I discovered what Reddit was because of a rage comics app. I’ve used pretty much all of the apps, such as Baconreader, Alien Blue, but ultimately settled on RIF for Android and Apollo on iOS. I am currently using Memmy, but I really hope that there’s an equivalent for RIF, perhaps a LIF?
My app is still working as of July 1st when logged out, haven't done any patching or anything. New content is loading.
@talklittle hope this isn't going to incur API charges for you :(

Long time BaconReader user. Very disheartening, but hopeful for the alternatives
Is it actually down? A friend of mine says he still has access to it. I don't have an Android, do I can't confirm.

Rest in Peace my love.
It started working for me again.. it stopped last night, and didn't work this morning... but now it works..
I'm assuming it's a mistake by Reddit?

Bye RIF Thanks for all those years :'-(
So sad to see RIF go, I was using it since I first found reddit about a decade ago. Fuck spez and his greediness
I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @[email protected]
