Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023

...but I don't want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it'd feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.

I deleted it and filled that hole on my home screen with wefwef for now.

I removed it for that reason. There's still an empty spot where the RIF icon used to be which I still tap sometimes :(

I just replaced it with Jerboa, although I keep going to wefwef nowadays since it's such a good web app

Just removed sync and added connect to the same spot today ... But when sync for Lemmy shows up, I'm gonna use that

I did until yesterday. I've enjoyed my experience here and am looking forward to seeing it grow more. As much as the whole situation has pissed me off, it's exciting to be a part of a new community. Thanks for the 10 great years rif.

I did this with apollo a few times, but changed the icon to reset my eye/muscle memory. Going to leave it for a while during the mourning period

The app still works for me but maybe that's because I'm not using any user login and am just using it to read a couple of subs that haven't migrated yet.

Nope.

Moved it out of my folder at the start of the blackout and opened it a few times for the modcoord updates.

I still have it for novelty reasons but I have been on Kbin and Lemmy since those few weeks.

No, I hid mine before the protest began. I'd move my lemmy app to the place RIF was in, but I haven't found one that actually works on both my (old) phone and my instance.

Edit: found one that works.

Nope.

I launched it once on July first and then deleted it. No reason it keep a non-functional app installed.

Had a lot of fun with RIF, but all good things must come to and end.

I hope KIF comes out someday.

I keep doing this with Apollo. I'm waiting for the Artemis to get a beta release to replace its spot on my home screen.

It still works - sort of. I can browse reddit without signing in. So I haven't yet deleted it yet. I'm planning to install a vanced version over the coming weekend. Hopefully that will work, I've never done anything like it before.

I keep it around so that when I click reddit links in Google they go to RIF instead of the dog shite mobile site. Can't log in or comment though.

I hid it from the app drawer/list, so I can only get to it by searching or with a link.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I kept it for the same reason, but even that appears to not be working anymore
