Just created a profile, I was using rif last night when suddenly I got the api error code, really sad to see it go.
I really hope lemmy replaces reddit, plenty of us here but we need more growth.
Liking it so far.

I'm here as well. I loved the design and feel of RIF.
11 years of Reddit. 42k karma. A top 10 comment in the top 10 posts of all time. Happy to be here and build this up!
RIF is still working for me, at least for now. Dreading the moment when it stops. RIF has legit been a part of my life for like 3 years.
Switched from reddit to here. Hopefully we'll see something similar to Rif for lemmy. Fuck reddit and fuck spez.
I suggest giving wefwef a try. It's a web app and it seems really solid. I came here from Apollo, but used rif prior to that and this app seems really nice.

Thank you! I'm so sad to see RiF go. I'm hopeful for a bright future.
Rest in peace RIF.
Reddit is now officially dead to me. It was a fun ride while it lasted.
Reddit is Fun is still working for me. I can browse subreddits but I can't post or login.
It's using a different API than the OAUThed one, since everyone was logged out when the API shut down.
Not as much as an api as an xml dump.
Kind of dumb to let that available (since the claimed problem was massive scraping for AI datasets) while blocking posting and upvotes.
It will likely be shutdown too.
Any good Lemmy app replacing rif? Looking for the ability to show tow rows of cards like rif. I seem to be in the minority for using that feature.
Download Connect for Lemmy, I think reverse row is what you want. You can change it in the settings. I used RIF the same way

Does anyone have a good Lemmy App? I have tried Connect and it is okay, but it is no RIF.

Just made my account too. RIP RIF, you were good to me.
Now I'm excited to see what this Lemmy.world is all about - does it have an app on the Play store?

made an account here recently just to see what was up. I didn't mind reddit (albeit it was very clunky and slow, just not an ideal website for me, miss forums a lot) but lemmy seems like the best compromise. Can't wait to see where it goes from here
Same, glad to join. I am now realizing how much of a pain it is using old reddit on mobile, fuck that lol. Not touching the official app.
