I used RIF for a looong time, tried official reddit app once, never opened it again. Never heard of Apollo until recently. Thank you @talklittle@lemmy.world

Best app experience for a good part of a decade. RIP king

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

Came here because of the goodbye note from rif. Reddit is rif for me. The original app is just too bulky and annoying.

It's still not the same experience so I've been trying out apps for lemmy. Connect is the closest one I think.

Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.

Why does it still work though? 🤔

On the other hand, Jerboa for Lemmy has started working for me again.

Thank you for everything

I've used reddit for 11 years and this was what I used it with mostly. Thank you!

"RIP in Peace" is one of the most annoying redundant sayings to me... not sure why it bothers me so much, lol.

Ngl I was sad when I opened RIF today and it redirected me to the old.reddit login form. RIP RIF, Reddit was fun with you 😔

My sweet sweet prince, farewell.

Thank you for RIF. For years I thought it was the official app. I once tried reddits official app when it was released and it was a quick "nope" back to RIF. Thanks for the years of fun.

I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!
