Thank you everyone for your support since 2009.
Thank you to /u/anon_smithsonian in particular for taking care of everyone on /r/redditisfun.
RIF, you're quirky and rough around the edges, but you've always gotten the job done. You know how to get out of the way and show people the articles, discussions, pictures, and videos they came for.
You have the silliest name, but we love you all the more for it. RIF will always be fun in our hearts.
RIF has been so much of my life.
I'm honored that so many of you have felt the same way.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It's been fun.
You're viewing a single thread.
It seems weird to be sad about an app. My reddit account is 13 years old and I honestly couldn't tell you when I started using RIF or how I even found out about it, but it was the one and only reddit app that I used and it followed me across 5 different Android phones over the years.
From deep down, I just want to say thank you talklittle. You could argue that I probably spent way too much time on reddit, but so much of that time was spent on the app that you created. I found endless things through RIF that I shared with friends over the years. It got me through airport layovers, ferry sailings, hospital waiting rooms, breakups, late nights, and so much more. All those little moments in life where you need a quick escape, a laugh, or just need to check in on the world. The app and all your efforts will be deeply missed.
Haha. Followed me from my Galaxy S1 all the way to my Galaxy S21. Upgrading once every 2ish years
Well said
