Going to miss this app

18 points

RiF was all I used on mobile. Very sad to see it go. Reddit is dead to me. I hate them now and don’t see myself going back.

Why does the internet have to be so shit now adays

Same. The official app was so clunky and always crashing. I saw a recommendation for rif and never looked back. Without rif, I wouldn’t have even bothered to sign up for reddit.

I logged back into rif on Wednesday for the first and last time since the boycott, to say goodbye to my friends in a private sub and put a “screw you spez” message as my flair on the biggest public sub I post in. Unfortunately I was the only one in the private sub not willing to put up with spez’s crap, so they won’t be recreating it on another platform. Thank you, spez, for taking that away from me.

Only app I was able to use. Waiting for a LiF clone.

Just from the look of it, Thunder seemed very RIF-like. Last I saw TalkLittle was making an app for Tildes, no indication that he’s working on a Lemmy app sadly.

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder installed. They all have different bugs or issues…what bothers me a lot currently is not being able to hold on an image and do copy image for instant paste, without download -_-

It is also not easy to open the current post/comment/whatever in a browser.

After so many years, the way RIF works is just second nature.

Jerboa is really jank still but is headed in that direction.

I don’t get it. “Reddit killed our app, so come talk to us on Reddit.”.

“our community continues to thrive” even though we’ll have nothing to talk about.

Folks round here do need to understand though that there’s really not likely to be all that big an influx of people on the first. Reddit has far, far more inertia than the Lemmy community likes to imagine. This is a great example.

You aren’t wrong, but there are some of us who just made the jump to using Lemmy more ”seriously" because of the good bye message. I’ll probably stick to reddit on my computer, but stick to Lemmy on my mobile.

Death (to reddit) by a thousand cuts, you know?

Rif has had a huge impact on the development of my brain growing up. For better or for worse. Rip rif

This was the only reddit app I ever used and I refuse to use any other, so I guess that’s it for me

Same. Quitting RIF is basically quitting Reddit for me 🥲
