Thank you thank you thank you for the many many years of stellar service. I would be ecstatic if you just so happened to make LiF... you'd have an instant buy, you know!

Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king

Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.

thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.

Goodnight sweet prince

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

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 😔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

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

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

Thank you for everything

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

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

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]

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.

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

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

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

I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.
