After Apollo, RIF is also going to shut down.
RIP RiF. Good app.
That’s why I’m here. I like this place so far though!Same. RIF is / was my app. It’s a shame in some ways, but this place is better in many other ways. I’m happy here and look forward to seeing the Fediverse grow!
Fuck reddit, VCs, and greedy assholes.
It’ll be an adjustment to this new site, but I welcome the change. It seems healthier here.
RIF was the only way i accessed reddit. That means i’m out for good. I’ll miss subreddits like ‘DataIsBeautiful’ or ‘RetroFuturism’ and i’m still not 100% fluent in Lemmy but… there’s literally no way back now.
I’m pretty sure that with the growth of lemmy, new and interesting communities will pop up all over the place. We just need to give it some time.
Holy cow this is sad. I havent used RIF in probably a literal decade, but it was the first reddit app for android and I remember using it on my G1/htc dream back in the day. RIF predates a lot of the current era of the modern web and it existed even before the digsplosion. It’s a relic of a different age and it’s been growing and evolving this whole time.

Just had a tiny wave of nostalgia reading those names. It was a different time indeed.
Man this is sad news. RIF had such a clean and usable interface compared to any modern social media front-end. But, the news got me here though, so that’s kind of nice!
I have loved and adored RIF since I bought golden platinum for it years ago, the 30th will be a depressing day.

Slide will also shut down. Not because its devs want to, but because there aren’t any devs left. My favorite Reddit app, doomed, even if Reddit chose a more reasonable price for their API.
Its a strange time.
I wrote the dev of Joey another good Android Reddit app to see if he’d do a ActivityPub version
