As much as I like browsing the Fediverse with Liftoff, RIF was just such a refined app. At the end RIF was what Reddit could have been.

Apollo is gone as well. Honestly, more legitimately sad than I expected. Mid-scrolling comments it closed out and no longer opens. I think I’d have preferred not to experience its death and it just happened while I slept lol. Memmy on iOS seems to be what I’ll move too and it is rapidly improving, but Apollo was just so damn good. Shucks.

Yeah posting this from Memmy. Really impressed with how far the app has improved in just a week to two.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

So ling, RIF. You will be missed.

[-] Casmael@geddit.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah Reddit is fun was the og imo. Remember browsing that shit circa 2013 on my nexus 5 lol. Pour one out for the homies xx

I'll miss my RIF 😭

Hello Lemmy 😎

that sure was a neat run of a decade using this one app, massive respect to the devs!

lemmy.world is already getting so much slower now

[-] Kururin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I am still using Apollo with my own key. But well RIP to the apps. Will be missed.

[-] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I have Infinity installed with my own key, but I realized how much reddit kinda sucks so I just stopped using it overall anyways.

So sad. I'm enjoying the fediverse so far but it just doesn't have the userbase to support the more niche communities I enjoy on reddit.

[-] Zdah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is how I'm feeling right now too. I'm hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.

[-] girthero@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Any word if they're making a LIF? It by far enhanced browsing and had everything I wanted in a phone reader.

Baconreader user here. Same fate as the rest of the good apps. Trying out Jeroba for the Fediverse. Seems nice so far.

Wanted to check out Sync today, I was greeted with the app repeatedly closing immediately after opening it. So that's dead as well. What a sad day this is for all of the 3rd party Reddit app devs.

[-] Kushia@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Sync for Lemmy is a few weeks away so at least there's light at the end of the tunnel there.

[-] Eribetra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, really looking towards both it and Boost for Lemmy. Both seem like great looking clients I'd use a lot. In the meantime, it's just Jerboa and Connect lol
