Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
Error: Forbidden first appeared on August 2
RiF started working again a few hours later
Is now appearing again on August 3
Damn, time to actually stop using reddit I guess. I wish I could say Lemmy scratches the itch, but there just aren't any of the communities I care about here. Just seems like there are a bunch of awful memes and copies of my least favorite subreddits.
I was doing the same thing. I didn't realize how crappy Reddit had become until I was forced to look at Popular instead of my custom subreddits. Oh well, I was still using RIF to keep up on a couple of subreddits, but honestly, I've been making a lot better use of my free time, so maybe it's good for me for it to be gone for good
Reddit is back up and RIF still not working for me
It seems reddit is actually down, as I can't even get it on a pc browser. I'm holding out hope that I can still rif anonymously, otherwise, I agree, it's bye bye morning/daytime reddit.
Me too. Rip in pieces, Reddit. Good thing I have gotten used to Lemmy and good apps for it have been developed quickly (I use Connect).
I couldn't be bothered to get used to RedReader as it's little bit different from RiF which was one of the best (if not the best) Android apps in regards to UI/UX. I do have the RedReader installed though in case I have to open a reddit url or look up something but I'm not interested in using it for longer periods. So I guess the lurking stops here.
The ship is sinking slowly so getting off of Reddit has been a gradual process.
I thought RiF was axed and no longer working following the API changes.
I wouldn't know, I deleted and moved off Reddit entirely since June at this point.
I used RIF exclusively - just super simple. Any app out for Kbin/Lemmy that gives a similar experience?
I thought it stopped July 1st? I stopped using RiF in mid June. I wanted the breakup to be on my terms lol.
