I used RIF for nearly a decade. Thanks for a great little app that got regular updates over the years. Talklittle, you are a great human! I will happily pay for your next app.

RIF was fantastic. Thank you.
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.

Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.
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.

After 9 years of RIF this was a weird weekend and boring poops! lol First post here using Jerboa and like the interface so far.
Jerboa has a dark mode I discovered, and density scaling to feel very RIF

Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?

Boost app for Reddit made me come here, I hope this outgrows Reddit
It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.
RIPRIF
I will miss it...
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sad™️
I used Reddit exclusively through RIF. It was perfect for what I wanted out of the site.
A sad day. But now I'm here via Jerboa and like it a lot so far.
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.
RIF is Reddit for me. Unless I'm at a computer. Sorry they did us dirty, but thanks for the past ten years.
RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
Hello Lemmy is fun??
Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.
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

Why does it still work though? 🤔
Thank you thank you thank you for the many many years of stellar service. I would be ecstatic if you just so happened to make LiF... you'd have an instant buy, you know!
Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long
I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself
Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".
