That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
Used it on every phone since my Motorola Droid. It will be missed.

I think I started on iPhone 3, if that's possible. Alien blue sounds too familiar to me and I think I read it was iOS. Means I've been around longer than the 10 years on rif, if my memory is correct. End of the day it's a damn shame, greed everywhere you look, amazing how one person or a few can affect thousands so easily.
o7 rip to the primary way i used reddit for over 10 years
The Creator of RIF says they are working on tildes.net, I don't believe that's part of the fediverse sadly. I really know very little about tildes anyone know why they would choose that over trying to build for Lemmy or kbin?
That's interesting, though. I haven't used Tildes but I got real used to rif's interface and this is taking some getting used to.
I'm on tildes, it's really refreshing and easy to use.
Main difference is that it seems to cater more of a serious adult conversations, which after years of being able to predict most comments before looking in Reddit, is very refreshing.
Lots less memes, communities are pre set and can't be created, seems to be to make sure to populate them before creating sub categories that people may see as in active and avoid.
Overall it feels like fedworld is best overall experience, squabbles is memes and lighthearted and tildes is more deep and thought out style of interaction.
@Teppic RIF (RES when on PC) .
was basically my reddit experience for 9-10ish years. RIF also used to pay money to reddit before spez took over from Yishan. Dumbass cut off a revenue stream for nothing and fucked over users in the process. Shitty mobile web + ad blockers from here on out if I use the site.
For actual? Infinity still works, I guess they shut off at different times?
But yeah RIP legend
infinity plans to switch to a subscription model. might be they stay working.
I'm not sure who they're doing it for, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the people that used it in the first place are now done with Reddit or only use old.reddit.com (until that socket disappears too)

Relay still working for the time being
DBrady thinks they can keep the app open for ~$3/month.
Best of luck to him, but I ain't giving him that money to just give to reddit, 100000x if NSFW content isn't available.

Logged out of my account on RIF and it started working again.
Death throes?
Boost for Reddit still works for me somehow
Well that 's it for me. I blocked Reddit on my PC with UBlock Origin, and the only time I would look at Reddit would be through RIF. I can only hope for an app so good for kbin and the Fediverse.
For some reason RIF is working for me again as long as I'm not logged in. It stops working when I try to login.
Same for me, not sure how long it will last...
I've been on reddit for 17 years, I can't remember when I bought RIF. It was a good run.
