Reddit Migration

RIF was a great app. Here's to hoping we bring all the best parts of Reddit across and continue the fun!

I literally watched RIF die while watching a movie at home with my family. I was hoping it would be good to midnight, eastern time, but recognized this was completely arbitrary. One minute the front page worked. I put my phone down and went back to it 20 minutes later maybe around 8:45pm Eastern - I could only get one screen-full of links, and when I tried to scroll, I got an error saying it couldn't load anything else, and visiting other subreddits produced the same "no threads" message posted here. About 20 minutes after that, the front page was doing the same thing, and it was done.

RIF was great; I checked out reddit via mobile browser after it died, but the interface was just.... not nearly as clean as RIF. No interest in using the app.

I remember leaving Digg.com for reddit in 2010. Reddit was an easy choice. It remains to be seen where we'll all end up as there doesn't seem to be anywhere as big and developed as reddit was, even back then. Lemmy and the fediverse might be good initially for topics with a broader draw of people, but for our niche interests it'll be hard to kick reddit. Maybe for niche topics, things will look like pre-Digg internet, with more reliance on individual websites, individual forums, but with a healthy amount of discord added in.

I've been on reddit for 17 years, I can't remember when I bought RIF. It was a good run.

Logged out of my account on RIF and it started working again.

Death throes?

The Creator of RIF says they are working on tildes.net, I don't believe that's part of the fediverse sadly. I really know very little about tildes anyone know why they would choose that over trying to build for Lemmy or kbin?

For actual? Infinity still works, I guess they shut off at different times?

But yeah RIP legend

@Teppic RIF (RES when on PC) .
was basically my reddit experience for 9-10ish years. RIF also used to pay money to reddit before spez took over from Yishan. Dumbass cut off a revenue stream for nothing and fucked over users in the process. Shitty mobile web + ad blockers from here on out if I use the site.

Used it on every phone since my Motorola Droid. It will be missed.

Relay still working for the time being

Boost for Reddit still works for me somehow

o7 rip to the primary way i used reddit for over 10 years

Well that 's it for me. I blocked Reddit on my PC with UBlock Origin, and the only time I would look at Reddit would be through RIF. I can only hope for an app so good for kbin and the Fediverse.

For some reason RIF is working for me again as long as I'm not logged in. It stops working when I try to login.
