That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.

Good night sweet prince.

[–] zarbthebard@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Feels weird man, used that app for years and now it's gone.

[–] Jcb2016@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit is gonna burn hard and we are all here for it u/spez is gonna face the music once and for all and we are all here for it!

[–] AcidTwang@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

He was always there to take the flak anyway. He is now past his usefulness as far as the investors are concerned. he'll be jettisoned.

[–] dakar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I've put the app on the corner to always remember what was taken away from us.

[–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

This is the one I used too. Goodbye Reddit.

[–] Deralax@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

This was the last push i needed to actually move on from reddit. Now i'll finally be able to retrain my muscle memory to open kbin instead of RIF when i sit on the toilet.

RIF was Reddit for me, sad to see it end like this. But excited to see where this goes.

Wonder how big the next wave of refugees is gonna be.

[–] KrombopulosRosie@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm actually all for the huge wave. I found this in anticipation of the loss of RIF and I am very excited to see it take off.

Maybe all the new people to Reddit that dgaf about the people behind the content will just stay on actual Reddit and we will get the better groups?

Was in the middle of deleting all of my post history using RIF when it stopped working. Had to finish up on a browser, sadly.

The shadow remains cast.

Thank you for 12 years of fun, talklittle

[–] kelce@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Now for Reddit is going to stay open but I don't suspect it will be for long. Reading his post I don't think he has a firm grasp of what it's going to look like working within reddits cogs.

[–] Kerrigor@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Sync for Reddit is shut down now too 😢

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

[–] a-man-from-earth@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It was my favorite Reddit app for many years. But the fun is now over.

RIP RiF! Thanks for all the fun!

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

F to pay respect

[–] gridleaf@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same with Sync. The dev is working on a Lemmy app, but I'm not convinced it can replace Reddit.

I thought it was shutting down tomorrow, so the shock made it sting all the more.

It's Fediverse full-time for me, now.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fyi just tried the app and it still loaded Reddit for me.

Yup has stopped working for me as well. Rip RIF.

[–] Jcb2016@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Dam, That is so real. RIP RIF my fav reddit client ever!

[–] FinalFallacy@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It's an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It's a weird.

[–] Vertelleus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you RIF developers for making reddit compact and readable.
Welcome to lemmy / kbin to all new reddit refugees!

[–] watchout5@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit will never be fun again

[–] Obsydian@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

BaconReader is no more. 7 years of use from me and I am so upset. It's not the same over here

[–] teydam@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I ditched it a week ago, i didn't want to experience this. so glad I am here.

Shit sucks man. I've used Rif for longer than I can even remember. I never once used the official app or even view Reddit in my desktop.

[–] k1k@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, never installed the app and never will. If I need access it's going to be through the old link on desktop with adblock

[–] Dean-North182@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I used RIF for its accessibility features and screen reader support.

The Reddit App has none of that.
