Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world , I've enjoyed RIF a lot since 2014.

it really makes me sad. I can't imagine how you feel. 14 years is a long fucking time.

I'll have that icon in my drawer as long as I have this phone.

Thanks for all the fish

I finally had to uninstall because I kept opening the app out of habit. But thank you, RIF, for all the good times.

I used rif for 12 years. Never found an app that suited me more.

Same here, I tried a heap of Reddit apps, and RIF nailed the GUI down, and made reading a pleasure, you could browse for hrs, then go for more hrs, it was just perfect.

RIF.... how long has it been, old friend?

When I first found out about Reddit, it was in the form of "Rage Comics". That was sometime in 2009-2010 I believe. I loved rage comics, and would be glued to my phone reading all the different silly things people would come up with. About a year later, I learned about RIF and it's small community. I had never left since.

I'll miss you RIF.... Gone but never forgotten </3

Thanks for everything. I can't believe how well made this app was, and I totally took it for granted. Now it's gone. Oh I, oh I, better learn how to face it, it's gone. I'd pay the devil to...sorry. Anyway, as an incurable insomniac, you were my in my hands for many, many, many late hours.
