I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!

MODERATORS
To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. ๐
I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.

Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.
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.

Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.
It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
I will miss it...
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

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

Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.
RIPRIF
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sadโข๏ธ
RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
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.
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

Goodnight sweet prince
Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
Why does it still work though? ๐ค
I used Infinity for reddit on Android....I could have switched back to the original app and been ok in a lot of ways, but I know I would feel like a scab
