That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
RIF was my Reddit app of choice for like 10 years, will miss it for sure :(

Even up to the last day I really thought Reddit would see the light. Oh well. I'll miss how perfect the design of RIF was.
RIP to the only way I would use reddit. So I'm done with reddit too.
Welcome. It's gonna take everyone's effort to make KBIN fun. Upload content daily, and interact with other people's content that you have something to say about. It's gonna take effort from all of us.
We need to quickly move past Reddit. We cannot be consumed by it or we will repel newcomers. This needs to become it's own special place with it's own character. It'll take time. Be patient.
Okay, but for now all the "RIP Reddit" posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, "So this is where the other people like me went."
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.
Same, Apollo just crashes, I was hoping for some sort of miracle compromise lol
I was hoping he put something special in like a countdown with that last update. Or that you could still open it and see something. App is totally dead.
Update: Apparently Reddit killed all the third party apps themselves early. Probably knowing we would comment only to protest and complain.
A link to Lemmy would have been good.
There is one if you open RIF now :)
Edit: typo
Weird. RIF still works here.
Are you still logged in?
It still works as read only, after logging out.
