Rip RIF you’ll be remembered
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
Fuck Reddit. I’m here for the pr0n
I’m in the same boat, but thought I’d let people know just in case. My app of choice RelayForReddit is switching to a subscription model but 70% of my Reddit use was NSFW subs so not really worth it for me
Is the RIF guy making a Lemmy app!?
He said he’s making one for Tildes on his goodbye page.
Where does it use stolen api keys. Says I need to generate my own
I didn’t try the process myself, last I heard they were using keys extracted from the official Reddit app. Maybe they thought that was a bad idea, and went a different route. Sorry, was just going by what I heard previously
So I did find a version with used the stolen api keys and sync works again!
In case no one mentioned it yet, I heard about wefwef.app from another post and it’s a really nice looking frontend for this site.
I’ve been using it for about day now but I like it better than the base website for sure. Some people say it’s like Apollo but I wouldn’t know since I used relayforReddit.
Using it right now. It’s excellent and will presumably improve.
Even as an android user who never used Apollo, wefwef feels great
Yeah I think it makes the experience much better.
Yeah was browsing Apollo when it dropped out. I knew it was coming but still disappointing.
Yeah apparently Reddit pulled the plug early and with no warning to Christian. Seems like they’re really determined to be a full bag of dicks to the end
Such a strange position for them to take, that of cartoon villains
Don’t think they told anyone about doing it early yesterday. They had been saying July 1st the whole time then BaconReader went down along with RIF, Apollo, etc yesterday June 30th. One last fuck you to all the devs that actually helped grow that site.
They pulled the plug at exactly 00:00 UTC. Didn’t give a shit about timezones. Or their home turf of NA to be into July 1st. They did it as soon as any point on Earth was in July 1st.
Just a big ole middle finger to the users who wanted their last night
That’s so cartoonishly gross. What on earth is wrong with them?
Entitlement, gross fatty entitlement.
Reddit is no longer fun
RINLF sounds like a very niche category of nsfw 😳
Rip, rif.
Reddit apparently doesn’t remember the digg migration and I hope they suffer the same fate.
I paid for RIF and I’d do it again in a second. Hopefully the lemmy ecosystem comes up to its high standard one day!
I’m so sad. I miss it. Happy to be a fellow Lemming tho
okay
waits for the loss of Boost
It stopped working for me after midnight and they put a banner explaining it in the bottom right. RIP to many good commutes browsing random info in my various subreddits.
Its still working for me here Jul 1, but I can imagine only having 12 hours left. I’ll be looking at properly deleting (or whatever, fully hiding) everything of my Reddit account, changing its email, and deleting it. If I must interact there, I may use a brief throwaway or two.
Ah, maybe it was just slow to load and I rushed to delete it. Either way, I’m glad I did…
Good idea on the throwaway. It’s time to rip off the band-aid.
There’s just no mobile reddit without RIF, it’s all I’ve ever known and the official app doesn’t even compare. It’s a sad day indeed.
Moved here. Just tried out summit. Got the RIF vibes.
Just uninstalled from my phone. Used it for years. A shame.
I’ll be keeping installed. Not to hold out hope, but for the memories of good times.
It probably drained more battery then anything else. RIP GOOD FRIEND
I only remember RIF being the mobile app. Reddit’s app didn’t show up till recently. Miss it already. I can’t seem to uninstall it. Very sad day.
I was surprised at how sad I was at RiF’s passing. I feel like I owe the creator a lot of money for how much I used their app.
I feel the same, it’s nice to know he/she has other projects going. Maybe our paths will cross again someday, and I can make it up to him. :-)
It’s gonna stayed installed on my phone forever
I’m not removing it anytime soon … :-)
