for our writing, we discovered no character limit (or one that counts properly....) and have started to move our content here. Even if it's just a side or secondary site, it seems to work great.
I've tried using the official app for some of my favourite subreddits and it's awful. A cluttered mess that's difficult to navigate, the complete opposite of rif... Just gave up after a while. This place is looking promising though and I'm happy to see so many familiar communities already.
To Talklittle... Thank you for all the years and hard work you put into RIF. I happened upon your app years ago when I was having a difficult time in my life and found simple solace there. Since then I fully embraced RIF and even got some friends to join the app/community as well. I am fiercely heartbroken over that other apps disgusting treatment of you and the others. I am very sorry, but more than that, I'm incredibly grateful to you. Thank you. Sending peace, love, and strength. 💕
tbf i didn't actually stop using redditisfun. I followed the guide to patching RIF with revanced which changes the user agent of the app to hide from reddit that you're using redditisfun
Gonna plug revanced here, too, since i already had revanced because i use it to have adfree YouTube and YouTube music with unlimited skips. Been using it since it was called vanced, when they just shared modified APKs. Then Google shut them down with a cease and desist letter so revanced was born. It's a system for patching apps yourself which gives the developers a bit more legal cover.
I was going to leave Apollo on my phone but it kept showing up on my Home Screen in my smart widget and I kept tapping it to open it so it had to go :(
I will miss RIF, and I cannot browse reddit without it. I am, however, looking foward to further interacting with the fediverse. I am just trying to remain respectful of places that other people created and established. Reddit was fun, but it was a mess (fake posts for karma, rage bait posts, harassment over the slightest little thing, people who couldn't and wouldn't intelligently articulate their view, etc). I'm hoping to not bring that here.
I just woke up, opened the app out of habit, saw a 429 error, and uninstalled. There's an empty spot on my home screen now that I'll fill with LiftOff after a mourning period
RIF should be a case study in UX/UI design: it's user satisfaction (and really addiction) were a direct result to the ease of use of the interface and the speed with which you could consume content.
I fucking miss RIF already, and it's not been 24 hours yet. When's the last time you felt this way about an app?
I'll miss Reddit and mostly RIF, but I'm not staying on that sinking ship. I hope Lemmy and Mastodon will get more and more traffic so it just replaces these toxic platforms at one point.
14 years on Reddit, my main account would have been 13 years old next week and I finally took the plunge and deleted it. Screw those guys. Is it weird that I felt genuinely sad deleting it, though? Like, I'm 37 years old, a parent, married. I feel a bit silly.
Thank you talklittle! You made redditing so enjoyable with RiF. I was introduced to your app about a decade ago and never stopped using it. I spent years writing exhaustive and informative comments, none of it would've been possible without the functionality of RiF.
I paid for RiF about 10 years ago, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Big shout out to the development team for their support all these years!
I am still baffled that Reddit didn't have options like, ads in API calls for 3rd party apps, or paying Reddit users can use 3rd party apps. It feels like Google blocking me for using Firefox even though I am a Google One subscriber, on a Pixel, browsing over Google Fiber.
I really truly appreciate how RIF changed my experience with Reddit and allowed me to curate my front page.
Was really struggling with awful content being pushed at me, but I still wanted to stay connected with the outside world. RIF allowed me filter out harmful stuff and make the whole thing so much better.
I miss my support communities & super niche interest subs. A lot. But I'm at least thankful that I got to experience them while I could.
I tried Jerboa, Liftoff and Connect Connect is the best one so far. I'm inclined to try Boost and Sync, those are repurposed reddit apps, but Connect is pretty decent.
So wait I logged out of rif because when I was logged in it was getting 429 and empty content... Now that I'm logged out it appears to work fine at the moment. What's happening?
Same, not sure what's going on. Just checked and nsfw subs are still on too which I thought was part of what was been taken away from 3rd party apps.
Also, first comment on lemmy, used mastodon a while back when Twitter first caught fire but I'm liking it so far. Currently using connect for lemmy which seems good. Missing rif a lot today though. Just opening on impulse.
Are you logged in though? When I try to log in Reddit answers with a "you sent an invalid request - invalid client id". API changes are definitely taking effect.
Well, it's the 6th and it's still working. Maybe they have problem separating things, as they most likely do not know how to block everything but let mod stuff work.
That said, it drives me nuts when people don't consider syllable counts in parody songs.
"This'll be the day that I die" can't be sung to the same tune as "soon I'll be a rich guy."
Probably should have gone with "soon I'll be a very rich guy." But the rest of the parody is written the same way unfortunately, so it'd all need to be fixed.
