I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!
I don't even know how long I used rif, but it was for the majority of my reddit time, and that is over 12 years.
Sad to see it go, but I'm also hopeful for our federated future. Reddit hadn't been great for quite a while now.
RIF was fantastic. Thank you.
I use Relay For Reddit and it is still working on my phone NSFW and all. I wonder why.
Relay is moving to a subscription model in the near future. Meanwhile it will remain free. The NSFW limitation is scheduled for July 5.

Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.
After 9 years of RIF this was a weird weekend and boring poops! lol First post here using Jerboa and like the interface so far.
Jerboa has a dark mode I discovered, and density scaling to feel very RIF

It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?

I used RIF for nearly a decade. Thanks for a great little app that got regular updates over the years. Talklittle, you are a great human! I will happily pay for your next app.
I will miss it...
I used Reddit exclusively through RIF. It was perfect for what I wanted out of the site.
A sad day. But now I'm here via Jerboa and like it a lot so far.
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sadโข๏ธ
I'm still getting current Reddit data out of RiF, as of right now. Not sure exactly what's going on there.
Same, it logged me out but it's still updating. Anyone know how/why?
No clue. But it let me log right back in
Also, now that Jerboa is working. This is much better. The other Android app I was using was having a hard time

Used it daily from my bed, the office, and the shitter.
RIPRIF
RIF is Reddit for me. Unless I'm at a computer. Sorry they did us dirty, but thanks for the past ten years.
RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
Hello Lemmy is fun??
I've used RIF for over six years. It's crazy to think about all the stuff the world has been through during that time. RIF was a huge source of community for me - especially during the pandemic. It stinks to say goodbye but all things end and I'm sure something better (maybe Lemmy?) will eventually fill the void. Really sad to see the position that Reddit has taken on all this.
Farewell old friend it was fun while it lasted. Hope they have a good future working in some new project.
Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long
I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself
Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".

Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
Goodnight sweet prince
I used Infinity for reddit on Android....I could have switched back to the original app and been ok in a lot of ways, but I know I would feel like a scab
