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
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
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.
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.
Reddit is back up and RIF still not working for me
I thought it stopped July 1st? I stopped using RiF in mid June. I wanted the breakup to be on my terms lol.
I used RIF exclusively - just super simple. Any app out for Kbin/Lemmy that gives a similar experience?
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.
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.
