Thank you rif. miss those new post notifications and being able to switch from parent to child comments etc…
Thank you RIF… I love being able watch redditors asking the save video bot to get a download link while I could just save using RIF. You also make copying and sharing link so simple. You don’t have all the fluff of those annoying awards and I deeply appreciate it. It clearly shows that you know content is the most important thing and you respect and focus on it. Sorry a particular fuckwit can’t see that. I’ll genuinely miss you.
12 years on Reddit… 12 years on RIF.
Man this sucks
Thank you, RIF. You were reddit to me. I won’t be going back.
I’m riding RiF until the very end. First app I used on Android up until the official app came out. Used that for 3 days before going back to RiF.
RIF is gonna be missed, for sure. Thanks for all the fun. pours one out
Same. Love the app and will use it as long as possible.
I always said once RIF goes, I go.
Turns out I was wrong. I left a few weeks early.
as a soon-to-be former user of RIF, i will certainly miss the simplistic design and the ease of use of the app. o7
Hopefully one of the 15+ apps in development for Lemmy/kbin will be similar.
Jerboa is very similar to me. Pretty much slotted that in on the spot that rif used to be and haven’t skipped a beat.
It doesn’t seem to work on my phone. It keep crashing. I haven’t heard anyone else mention this problem, so it might just be my POS. Looking forward replacing RIF with something like this though
Liftoff works well for me.
I just installed it. The interface is close enough that I haven’t had to search for anything, which is great.
And I think I actually prefer Jerboa’s text editor over RiF.
I mean jerboa seems pretty similar
At present, Jerboa seems pretty buggy. At least for me.
I find Liftoff to be much, much better atm
Almost already recommendable to people upset about third party reddit apps; just needs to remove the need to know how instances work when registering.
Its still super early in its development. Im sure RiF had some bugs to work through when it was launching as well.
Im willing to use it, let it crash, and send in crash reports to help the dev make it better in the meantime (at least I hope thats what I am doing).
I’ve been on Reddit since 2012. I don’t believe I used any app other than RiF during that whole time. Currently using Power Delete Suite to wipe my account then I plan to delete. I’ve found quite a better home over here on Lemmy anyways. Wish I had known of this place sooner.
Check back occasionally to verify your comments remain deleted. While I’ve not had it happen to my main, others have reported their comments seem to return soon after doing a purge.
I thought my deleted comments were getting restored by reddit, but it just turns out that you can’t delete comments from private subreddits. So I initially deleted everything during the 2 day blackout, then a few days later when things started opening up again, I saw a ton of comments still on my account, so I just assumed reddit had been restoring them.
I did advertising to Lemmy and got my first ban ever. Dw it’s fine, I didn’t even do it in a very toxic way.
I just mentioned a bunch people where comming here
Reddit is such a great source of information though-- especially when I’m looking for user feedback, instructions, or human opinions. It’s a shame that many posts are going to get deleted in the following weeks (especially in the tech sphere since most people quitting Reddit are going to be techies)
From what I heard, there is another website that ‘scrapes’ Reddit for the information, so in theory that information should not be lost.
That’s why you should delete the comments/posts though. Because you make it less desirable to advertisers by making it less convenient to “just add Reddit” after a Google search.
Shredders going back at least five years have been editing comments and replacing them with placeholder text prior to deleting, on the assumption they might only be retaining the final version before deletion.
I’ll second the “Wish I learned about Lemmy sooner” bit. Just feels so much better.
Have a nice day, fellow reddit refugee!
Same story for me too. I’ve used Reddit since 2012 while only using RiF. The Jerboa app on Android is pretty similar, I’ve been using it for a while and have been quite liking it.
Although instead of deleting everything, I edited all my comments to be multiple pages of lorem ipsum placeholder text to mess with the AI crawlers that Reddit profits off.
Bye RIF, i’ll uninstall you while doing a salute when you flatline.Thank you for all the years of being Reddit for me. Oh and spez? FUCK YOU
You were the first app that I ever paid money for. And you remain the only way I will look at reddit on my mobile device. Rest In Spaghetti, Never Forgetti
Reddit Is Fin.
Reddit is kill
But who was phone?
Goodbye RIF, my preferred app from the before times.
I see a lot of developers coming over to Lemmy, which is great, but I’ll throw out that I’ve been on Jerboa since maybe my second or third day on Lemmy and I really like it. A little different than RIF, but easy and straight forward to use. Give it a try if you haven’t already!
There’s a few QOL things that RIF did that jerboa doesn’t (like scrolling down in your comment box when you go past the bottom of it) but otherwise I agree, it’s been a good gap-filler while coming over to lemmy and waiting for something like RIF to come around.
Long live RiF
Reddit is fun was the first smartphone app I heavily used. I was with it pretty much since it was created. RIP.
Hoping to see Lemmy is Fun or something similar from them. Been on RIF for years…
“LNR (LNR Not Reddit)”
Is that too obscure of a joke?
No it’s not, haha. When they had to change their name and I read the reason why that was probably one of the first times where I sat there thinking “Hmm. The admins of Reddit might be goddam idiots.”
How would we pronounce LNR? Doesn’t roll off the tongue like GNU does :(
Like Eleanor? That’s how it sounded when I read it anyway.
