A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

RIF will be shutting down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit Inc's API changes and their hostile treatment of developers building on their platform.

I'm going to really miss RiF. The UI was so clean and information dense that it is hard to beat.

I heard the developer is working on an app for Tildes, but I would be thrilled if they announced an app for Lemmy as well.

I will miss RIF o7 sniffle. Only way I've interacted with reddit on my phone for years.

Same here. RiF exclusive for over half a decade.

RIF was my way to get to Reddit. I will miss it terribly. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

My melancholy is tempered by the Fedirverse, Lemmy, and particularly, here at Beehaw! 😄

This feels like a better and nicer home, anyway. I'm sad for the loss, and this smaller community won't have what the scale of Reddit's user base could bring...but the nicer and happier community here has its own virtues.

It reminds me of the best of Slashdot, among other small and very valuable online communities of yore. 🙂

Everyone who used RIF should go BUY A COPY NOW, while you still can (if you haven't already).

Show the Devs your love, and your thanks.

You can also email the devs to say your thanks in words. But your $2.99USD will be just as important!!
