It happened. Bye bye, RIF!
It happened. Bye bye, RIF!
As much as I like browsing the Fediverse with Liftoff, RIF was just such a refined app. At the end RIF was what Reddit could have been.
I get a 429 now, sad times are here.
Long live lemmy.

Apollo is gone as well. Honestly, more legitimately sad than I expected. Mid-scrolling comments it closed out and no longer opens. I think I’d have preferred not to experience its death and it just happened while I slept lol. Memmy on iOS seems to be what I’ll move too and it is rapidly improving, but Apollo was just so damn good. Shucks.
14 0 ReplyYeah posting this from Memmy. Really impressed with how far the app has improved in just a week to two.

So sad. I'm enjoying the fediverse so far but it just doesn't have the userbase to support the more niche communities I enjoy on reddit.
6 0 ReplyThis is how I'm feeling right now too. I'm hopeful that the userbase will expand quickly though.
3 0 ReplyI think it's the perfect blank canvas for us to start building of the kinds of communities we want to see here

Hello Lemmy 😎
5 0 ReplyAnyone know which lemmy app is most similar to rif? I've been using jerboa which is decent. OP mentioned liftoff which isn't quite my style. I'd prefer being able to see 10+ posts at a time like I could do in rif.
3 0 ReplyConnect if you're using Android is quite good
1 0 ReplyI'm using connect for lemmy. Not 100% the same, but good enough. If you're patient you could wait for boost.

Yep it's dead. What a shame.
Longest serving app on all my Android devices since 2012
Every time I got a new phone, one of the first apps I would install was RIF.
Fuck u/spez for ruining a great experience.
