That’s it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
For some reason RIF is working for me again as long as I’m not logged in. It stops working when I try to login.
Same for me, not sure how long it will last…
Fyi just tried the app and it still loaded Reddit for me.
As long as you’re not logged in.
I’ve been on reddit for 17 years, I can’t remember when I bought RIF. It was a good run.
Hello everyone! RIF stopped working so here I am! I hope everyone is doing well.
Same, Apollo just crashes, I was hoping for some sort of miracle compromise lol
I was hoping he put something special in like a countdown with that last update. Or that you could still open it and see something. App is totally dead.
Update: Apparently Reddit killed all the third party apps themselves early. Probably knowing we would comment only to protest and complain.
A link to Lemmy would have been good.
There is one if you open RIF now :)
Edit: typo
Yeah - as of about thirty minutes ago, Apollo just crashes as soon as it boots.
If you put the phone in airplane mode, you can get the app to load the UI at least. Doesn’t do/mean anything but I suspect I’ll be doing it out of nostalgia a lot in the coming months.
RIF was my Reddit app of choice for like 10 years, will miss it for sure :(
Even up to the last day I really thought Reddit would see the light. Oh well. I’ll miss how perfect the design of RIF was.
Same. RIF was great. Such a perfect app! RIP RIF
I’m unsure what the glitch is, but I got something weird. I’m also getting the unable to load message on RiF, so I was getting ready to delete the app. As a sentimental moment to say goodbye, I clicked to log out. Then bam - pages start loading? I can browse Reddit but can’t interact. Is this just some cached glitch?
Welcome. It’s gonna take everyone’s effort to make KBIN fun. Upload content daily, and interact with other people’s content that you have something to say about. It’s gonna take effort from all of us.
Hopefully we can get a mobile client soon as well, because then I think it’ll really take off.
I’ve been gently hounding the RIF dev to see if he’ll make a Kbin app, lol. Here’s to hoping!
The problem the kbin has right now though is that it’s so new I don’t think an API exists yet. Even if it did, development is happening so rapidly that by the time you hammered out your app the API may have changed several times.
We will eventually get our app, but kbin needs to grow as a website a little bit first.
Yeah I keep wishing I could see this in the Apollo UI
We need to quickly move past Reddit. We cannot be consumed by it or we will repel newcomers. This needs to become it’s own special place with it’s own character. It’ll take time. Be patient.
Okay, but for now all the “RIP Reddit” posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, “So this is where the other people like me went.”
Weird. RIF still works here.
Are you still logged in?
It still works as read only, after logging out.Not logged in. Seems to be only read mode.
The Creator of RIF says they are working on tildes.net, I don’t believe that’s part of the fediverse sadly. I really know very little about tildes anyone know why they would choose that over trying to build for Lemmy or kbin?
That’s interesting, though. I haven’t used Tildes but I got real used to rif’s interface and this is taking some getting used to.
I’m on tildes, it’s really refreshing and easy to use.
Main difference is that it seems to cater more of a serious adult conversations, which after years of being able to predict most comments before looking in Reddit, is very refreshing.
Lots less memes, communities are pre set and can’t be created, seems to be to make sure to populate them before creating sub categories that people may see as in active and avoid.
Overall it feels like fedworld is best overall experience, squabbles is memes and lighthearted and tildes is more deep and thought out style of interaction.
Wonder how big the next wave of refugees is gonna be.
I’m actually all for the huge wave. I found this in anticipation of the loss of RIF and I am very excited to see it take off.
Maybe all the new people to Reddit that dgaf about the people behind the content will just stay on actual Reddit and we will get the better groups?

I hope so. I’m excited to see how the fediverse will grow and like you expect that the quality of our communities to be maybe a bit better than those that decide to stick with reddit. I’m going to miss the smaller niche subs I was a part of until we can have them grow over here.
Feels weird after all these years.
I’m excited about the fediverse though!
RIP to the only way I would use reddit. So I’m done with reddit too.
I’ve been on reddit for 13 years, and have used rif for 12. Maybe the most used app I’ve ever had, was always a staple download whenever getting a new device. Just a damn shame this is happening.
That being said, this is my first post on kbin. Here’s to hoping this community can grow and we can collectively move on from reddit’s mess as it withers away from their pride and greed.
Boost for Reddit still works for me somehow
