    Came here because RIF shut down and I can’t believe how bad the regular reddit app is. Here’s hoping that Lemmy is the new reddit!

    Came here because of the goodbye note from rif. Reddit is rif for me. The original app is just too bulky and annoying.

    It’s still not the same experience so I’ve been trying out apps for lemmy. Connect is the closest one I think.

    Thank you talklittle! You made redditing so enjoyable with RiF. I was introduced to your app about a decade ago and never stopped using it. I spent years writing exhaustive and informative comments, none of it would’ve been possible without the functionality of RiF.

    I’m glad to see you on the Fediverse now :)

    A decade of a truly-superior user experience.

    I can’t even bring myself to delete it. I feel like it needs to stay memorialized in my app list.

    Thanks for such a great product, devs. It’ll be sorely missed.

      I was going to leave Apollo on my phone but it kept showing up on my Home Screen in my smart widget and I kept tapping it to open it so it had to go :(

    I am still baffled that Reddit didn’t have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.

    14 years on Reddit, my main account would have been 13 years old next week and I finally took the plunge and deleted it. Screw those guys. Is it weird that I felt genuinely sad deleting it, though? Like, I’m 37 years old, a parent, married. I feel a bit silly.

    RIF was my first Reddit app. I did move over to Boost a couple of years ago but RIF will always be my o.g. Android experience.

    Thanks for all your work, talklittle - you improved a lot of lives, including mine, with this app.

    I really truly appreciate how RIF changed my experience with Reddit and allowed me to curate my front page.

    Was really struggling with awful content being pushed at me, but I still wanted to stay connected with the outside world. RIF allowed me filter out harmful stuff and make the whole thing so much better.

    I miss my support communities & super niche interest subs. A lot. But I’m at least thankful that I got to experience them while I could.

    Thank you, RIF!
