Rip RIF you’ll be remembered
I’m gonna miss RIF… Cannot stand the official app.
I setup Reddit Vanced just to follow a few niche topics that are hard to find elsewhere, but even with the patches it’s still a mess.
There’s a reflection instance called lemmit.online that copy posts from subreddits. I’m using it to keep up with a few subreddits while I’m on holiday. When I get home I’ll setup communities on lemmy for them.
Just gonna throw one up for the dark mode homies. Good bye rif, you will be missed.
I’m a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it’s gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.
The Fediverse has been really cool and I’m glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I’ve found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!
I think this is the only poppinkream I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have citations all over it.
Any advice for someone who just made that same jump?
I stated using Jerboa*, which feels a little similar in spirit. Had to jump trough some hoops though, as your login server needs at least version 0.18 to work.
Jerboa was ok, but things started to irritate me so I found Liftoff, which was a much more polished app. Currently using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to my original Reddit app
I actually also switched to Liftoff. Will try Connect now. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’m going to miss RIF. :(
We’ve been here before. Some of us old fucks have gone from BBS to IRC to sites like SA, GenMay, Digg, Reddit. It’s jus the nature of the beast.
Gonna miss the solid App support Reddit had but it’s only a matter of time before there are many great options for Lenny. Wefwef while browser based is actually really nice!
used RIF for 7 years, tried using the official app but RIF was just so much better. when i uninstalled it two weeks out of protest, it really felt like i had to say goodbye to an old friend. i do enjoy lemmy, but…
This is my sadness.
Excited for the sync Lemmy app
What do you think about voyager?
I know everyone has made the switch, but the ReVanced team have stolen the API keys out of the real Reddit app and have made patchers available for multiple Reddit apps including RiF.
You’ll need a fresh copy of the APK and:

Obviously NSFW is a no go but everything else should work.
Without porn, patching old RIF is genuinely not worth it. I’d rather wait and support the new Lemmy app by the same dev
Username checks out. Who doesn’t appreciate a little NFSW content?
I’m not a prude but I genuinely had no idea it was that big a thing on Reddit. I thought it all generally disappeared a few years ago. Just shows how huge a site it was I guess
