Rest in Feace, RiF
So wait I logged out of rif because when I was logged in it was getting 429 and empty content... Now that I'm logged out it appears to work fine at the moment. What's happening?
You found a glitch in the matrix. Proceed with caution.

Glad to begin a new adventure
Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

RIF was fantastic. Thank you.
Sad, my most used app over the years.
Poured out some of my beer in respect to RIF. Thanks for the amazing mobile experience!
I don't even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.
Sad to see it go, but I'm also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn't been great for quite a while now.
There is this:
Or if you are looking at stuff on Reddit still: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14nb5qs/comment/jq87sjd/
I actually appreciate the humor in the lyrics.
That said, it drives me nuts when people don't consider syllable counts in parody songs.
"This'll be the day that I die" can't be sung to the same tune as "soon I'll be a rich guy."
Probably should have gone with "soon I'll be a very rich guy." But the rest of the parody is written the same way unfortunately, so it'd all need to be fixed.
I'm fun at parties.

To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. 💕
My first comment on lemmy! RIP RIF
Hello Lemmy is fun??
Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?

I'm still getting current Reddit data out of RiF, as of right now. Not sure exactly what's going on there.
Same, it logged me out but it's still updating. Anyone know how/why?
No clue. But it let me log right back in
Also, now that Jerboa is working. This is much better. The other Android app I was using was having a hard time

Reddit is fun was my jam. I won't reddit anymore without it.
I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.
Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future. Meanwhile it will remain free. The NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

Thanks for the app, @talklittle. I purchased RIF back in 2012 and it has been the only way I've used reddit on mobile ever since. Sad to see it go.

I've used RIF for over six years. It's crazy to think about all the stuff the world has been through during that time. RIF was a huge source of community for me - especially during the pandemic. It stinks to say goodbye but all things end and I'm sure something better (maybe Lemmy?) will eventually fill the void. Really sad to see the position that Reddit has taken on all this.
Goodnight sweet prince
