Welcome RIF users

Hi everybody. Make sure to actually start posting and commenting in other communities. I've seen so many posts about coming here from Reddit which is fine. But we can't keep posting about only that.

It's a little disgusting, but completely in character, for Reddit to leech off those apps for over a decade and then stab them in the back.

And by leech, I mean I question whether Reddit would have grown as much as it did without the 3rd-party apps. Hardly anyone uses Reddit desktop.

... it's probably a good thing that I don't have Reddit on my phone now, to be honest, just wish it hadn't happened this way.

first day on Lemmy. redditor for 15 years, RIF user for a good chunk of that.

Just made my account here. Rest in power RIF! No RIF no reddit for me. Atm problems to log in on desktop. Thoughts and prayers for the lemmy servers :D

reddit was fun. Thank you RIF.

Switched from reddit to here. Hopefully we'll see something similar to Rif for lemmy. Fuck reddit and fuck spez.

We need a Lemmy is Fun!

I have no idea what I'm doing, but I made it here. I hope to understand instances and whether I need to create other accounts soon.

Not bad. They just need the page to stop automatically bumping posts down every 3 seconds and this site will be perfectly fine as a replacement

I used RIF for almost a decade. It's sad to see it go.

50k karma but glad I deleted my account.

Another former RiF user here. Definitely miss the experience of using that app, and Lemmy is certainly new to me. Gonna take some getting used to but it will be interesting to hopefully see this place grow!

So... are there any apps like rif is fun for lemmy?

It's pretty fun here!

Hi all. Fuck Spez, onwards we march

Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.

Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?

Likewise. RIF pretty much was Reddit for me so far as regular browsing goes. I may still occasionally use old Reddit on desktop but I've heard rumours that may go as well, with the continued enshittification of Reddit.

Thanks RIF, I believe I used the app about 10 years. Always worked very solid. Looking forward to see what happens here.

Rest in peace RIF.

Reddit is now officially dead to me. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

It’s great here. It’s like when Reddit was starting and all you have are genuine people connecting

I was a RIF user for 8 years, and now I'm here. Fuck Spez.

To the end of an addiction 🥂

Tried the official app after 10 years of RIF and deleted it within minutes. Downloaded Connect and have been enjoying Lemmy a lot!Looks like I've joined the great migration!

Bye RIF :( Hello Lemmy :)

Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.

RIF was a cool place and sad to see it go, so cheers to that,

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened-Dr. Seuss

I'm proud to be done with reddit. I'm eagerly exploring my new addiction. I'm a lemon head.

Stupid question, of someone replies to me will I get a notification?

I just went in for the last time and no threads, so uninstalled it.

I honestly did not realize it would bother me this much.

After 13 years on Reddit, mostly consumed through RIF and old.reddit, this is now my "frontpage of the internet".

made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here

Rip rif. Bring on the new frontier.

I knew it was coming a month in advance, yet somehow I was still shocked when it stopped working.

The end of an era, to be sure.

For now, jerboa is a decent working alternative as an app for lemmy.

Yeah I followed the link too. Didn't know about lemmy before RIF closed

We need a Lemmy is Fun!

I made a reddit account 7 years ago and used rif most of that time. It was the only thing keeping me on reddit because I was never satisfied with the official app. With rif gone, reddit will only be used as a means of finding answers to questions I search Google with. I hope that I won't have to depend on reddit for long in that regard either.

Pleased to be here. Sad to see rif go... But onwards.

Welcome! I've been here for a couple weeks and it's been pretty cool. Feels a lot more like the old Internet. People seem friendlier too.

RIF is still working for me, at least for now. Dreading the moment when it stops. RIF has legit been a part of my life for like 3 years.

To the end of reddit and fuck Spez! (10yr former redditor)

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.

Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.

The king is dead, long live the king!

Is this and RIF style app for here?

Happy to be here!

Just created a profile, I was using rif last night when suddenly I got the api error code, really sad to see it go.

I really hope lemmy replaces reddit, plenty of us here but we need more growth.

Liking it so far.

12 Year Old Reddit account gone. Deleted all of my posts and comments.

Thanks for having us

RiF user since 2011. I'm now trying replacement apps for Lemmy. Liftoff and Jerboa look pretty good. Am trying Connect for Lemmy, but it looks super buggy right now.

Do you guys recommend any other app to browse Lemmy from the Google Play Store?

Wow, talk about a nostalgic sounding community name.

11 years of Reddit. 42k karma. A top 10 comment in the top 10 posts of all time. Happy to be here and build this up!

Hello!

Just joined and im having fun exploring. Some apps to play around with https://lemmy.world/post/465785

I'm here as well. I loved the design and feel of RIF.

Thank you! I'm so sad to see RiF go. I'm hopeful for a bright future.

Coming from RIF, looking forward to contributing here.

Didn't feel like waiting for the end, been here a few weeks now.

Any good Lemmy app replacing rif? Looking for the ability to show tow rows of cards like rif. I seem to be in the minority for using that feature.

What was that link? I can't seem to find it again :(

Want to bookmark it.

Ok

Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.

RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.

Same.

Hello, fellower RIF users.

Time to see what this place has. Kinda like moving into a new house.

I was always something of a lurker, but I just deleted my 10+ years (most of them with RIF) account with 1000's of comments etc.

It's weird how sad I feel, it's like cutting of a part of yourself.

I bought reddit is fun on Feb 14, 2014. Wow
