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.

To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. ๐
T'was an honor and a pleasure shitposting with you.
Glad to begin a new adventure
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!
Now I'm wondering, any chance for the app to be remade for Lemmy in the future?

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

Hello Lemmy is fun??
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.

It will be greatly missed, but interested to see how this all plays out with Lemmy and the other alternatives.
Goodbye, RIF. It was the best.
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.
RID (reddit is dead)
...very ironic acronym, lol
RIF was the only bearable way to use Reddit on my phone, I am The Big Sadโข๏ธ
RIF is Reddit for me. Unless I'm at a computer. Sorry they did us dirty, but thanks for the past ten years.
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.
Goodnight sweet prince
Thank you thank you thank you for the many many years of stellar service. I would be ecstatic if you just so happened to make LiF... you'd have an instant buy, you know!
Yeah, it was a super shitty birthday present to wake up and realize I couldn't browse reddit while I woke up.
thank you for developing this app, it has been a fixture of my phone ever since I discovered it many many years ago.
I'm going to miss RIF so damn much. One of my favorite apps ever!!
