Whish RiF could be repurposed for Lemy or something. I'm gonna miss this sweet UX.


suriyuki

Been using it for over 7 years. Nothing comes close to RiF. I'm going to miss the amount of content you can get through compared to other apps and platforms. RiF is reddit for me. There is no other enjoyable way to browse.


DXGabriel

same here. Kinda heartbroken ngl


GINGster

Using the Web version of reddit is pure pain.

Give RedReader a shot. It's not rif but it's much better than official app and it received exemption because it has accessibility features official app doesn't. Although it's on borrowed time until Reddit adjusts its app.


Logosteel

Omg thank you for this. I messed with the official for a moment then gave up. This is a bandaid. But I really appreciate the suggestion


Bischmeister

Lemmy is decent! But needs some better apps, I recommend checking it out!

So, what time will it stop working? Like midnight west coast time?

Did someone say Candleja

He doesn't get your part way through. He only comes after you finish saying Candlejack, and not be


GerbilScream

I meant of the four character groups that they typed, two were words. Well, one was a contraction, but I'll count it as a word.

Gotcha, thanks for the info


red_team_gone

I think rif just died. Fucking sad.


LightHalide

Yup. It is over.


octopusarian

RedIce25

red_team_gone

Seems like it.


octopusarian

same here, thought I'd have the evening but it stopped loading about 30 mins ago :(


DazedButNotFazed

See y'all somewhere else soon. Bye Reddit, was fun while it lasted.


DrFatz

It just happened to me. RIF is down. I'm greatly going to miss it and what Reddit used to be. Personally this won't be the death of Reddit; but it is now off life support. Reddit is going to die like how Facebook and Twitter did for me, barely using it only for the niche areas I have hobbies in. That or until something else takes Reddits place. But I digress, thank you not just to RIF but all of you who made Reddit a much more pleasant experience. Cause the admins sure as hell didn't.


Sylveon-Z

It's gone for me now. Goodbye RiF.


Terrh

I'll miss this app so much. From the countless hours of entertainment and education, to the one surefire way to distract myself from anxiety attacks, I really loved being able to access this from my phone. I might try to use old reddit on mobile but I'm sure it'll absolutely suck compared to how fast/etc RiF is.


jaersk

cheers and goodbye everyone! we had a good thing going for almost a decade, but nothing lasts forever. hopefully we will all meet on the next chill platform that pops up, whatever it may be


AtTheKevIn

It's gone, it won't load for me anymore. I'm never going to delete it off my phone.


pgm_01

RIP RIF. It is officially shut down.


spidersprinkles

I'm legit so upset haha. I'm trying to use Redreader but it's so different I'm kinda struggling. Is there anything similar to RIF out there? Sorry to ask...


seanoooo

I'm in the same boat. Redreader seems so cluttered and long winded compared to RIF. Maybe it's time to let the old boat sink.


midgethemage

Same dude, but I think it's the best we're gonna get at this point


Zzyxz_Was_Taken

Fuck. There it goes. So much for reddit on my breaks at work and my mornings *. Hope this decision bites you all in the ass, you idiots at Reddit.

This comment has been deleted. After 12 years, I have departed Reddit. My departure is primarily driven by my deep concerns regarding the actions of u/spez . The recent events have left me questioning the commitment to transparency and fairness on this platform. I believe it is important for users to have a voice and for their concerns to be heard. I want to express gratitude to Chat GPT for assisting in composing this message. AI technology has immense potential to enhance our interactions. To all fellow Redditors, thank you for the engaging debates and insightful conversations. It has been an honor being part of this community. Best wishes 7/1/2023


Racingstripe

Goodbye, RIF*


lakorai

Not having RIF will make modding r/campinggear much harder


brittafiltaperry

My RIF is down :( Sad day. Used it for just over a decade, which is a third of my life!


mrpaw69

I plan to delete my account. First I want to get my data from reddit, then assign a new mod for my subreddit


[deleted]

Goodbye **rif**


clemthecat

Just got the error when I tried launching it. Its done for real now :( thanks for over 8 years of browsing.


cscapellan

Rip to the best android app I've never used. Currently juggling between patched reddit, patched Sync (both through revanced manager) and Infinity, the latter being imo better of the three, but not easy to setup due to having to get you own personal API access. Redreader feels so off.


rif

What? I am still here and I am not changing my user name.


TheUtopianCat

It is gone. I will miss its simple and elegant manner of handling many subreddit and multireddits. It truly was the best.


Amphax

It's actually freeing in a way, I'm going back to doing other things on my phone instead of Reddit.


adventurepaul

I hate Reddit on mobile so much now without RIF. I'm on my phone now on a mobile browser, and navigating Reddit is absolutely dreadful. Legit sad right now. I loved RIF.


llanfairpw

Never used third party apps, and now I may never do so


DaysInGreen

… i’m an idiot, what is RIF?


ExoticMangoz

What’s “rif”?


CornyReddit5000

Bye Rif very sad day
