Rip RIF you’ll be remembered
This is my sadness.
I’m gonna miss RIF… Cannot stand the official app.
it’s crazy just how bad the official app is.
I setup Reddit Vanced just to follow a few niche topics that are hard to find elsewhere, but even with the patches it’s still a mess.
There’s a reflection instance called lemmit.online that copy posts from subreddits. I’m using it to keep up with a few subreddits while I’m on holiday. When I get home I’ll setup communities on lemmy for them.
Just gonna throw one up for the dark mode homies. Good bye rif, you will be missed.
My view for a short forever. I still have it available in the hopes that they either reverse course or refeature it to target a different platform
That won’t happen though. Still trying to get into Tildes where he went, hoping for the same app experience.
I haven’t had the heart to uninstall it yet. I moved the jerboa app into its spot on my home screen, though.
We’ve been here before. Some of us old fucks have gone from BBS to IRC to sites like SA, GenMay, Digg, Reddit. It’s jus the nature of the beast.
Gonna miss the solid App support Reddit had but it’s only a matter of time before there are many great options for Lenny. Wefwef while browser based is actually really nice!
For me it was BBSs, Slashdot, Kuro5hin, Fark, Bannination, Hacker News, Reddit. And now the 'verse.
Good luck to all the Lemmy and Mastodon app coders, and to all the people hacking away at great front ends to the same.
There’s definitely going to be growing pains, attacks, victories and losses. But I think it’ll be worth it.
Connect for Lemmy on Android is working great for me as a replacement to RIF
Moved here. Just tried out summit. Got the RIF vibes.
used RIF for 7 years, tried using the official app but RIF was just so much better. when i uninstalled it two weeks out of protest, it really felt like i had to say goodbye to an old friend. i do enjoy lemmy, but…
Been using RIF for years, you never know how important something is until it’s gone :(
F - So long and thanks for all the fish 😪
I paid for RIF and I’d do it again in a second. Hopefully the lemmy ecosystem comes up to its high standard one day!
I’m a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it’s gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.
The Fediverse has been really cool and I’m glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I’ve found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!
I think this is the only poppinkream I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have citations all over it.
Any advice for someone who just made that same jump?
I stated using Jerboa*, which feels a little similar in spirit. Had to jump trough some hoops though, as your login server needs at least version 0.18 to work.
Jerboa was ok, but things started to irritate me so I found Liftoff, which was a much more polished app. Currently using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to my original Reddit app
I actually also switched to Liftoff. Will try Connect now. Thanks for the recommendation.
There’s just no mobile reddit without RIF, it’s all I’ve ever known and the official app doesn’t even compare. It’s a sad day indeed.
I’m going to miss RIF. :(
okay
Reddit is no longer fun
