Pretty sure RIF is officially down now.
I just got disconnected from RIF. I thought it would last until midnight, but it looks like the plug has been pulled. RIP.

RIP RIF
And fuck u/spez
I'm needing to mourn more than I thought I'd have to. Legit might shed a tear cause like... it's over
Apollo is down too. Like this is it.
Can confirm, it crashes on launch. RIP
Yeah, https://mastodon.social/@christianselig/110635856662952525
Adding my farewell to RIF. It served me well for many years. Sad to see it go. Thank you to everyone behind the app (if you ever read this). You were there when I was bored, sick, or needed answers.
Well done.
Let the brain drain of Reddit begin. They've got what's coming to them - a mass exodus of the power users and a slow deterioration of quality OC.
let's be honest, a good portion of Reddit was just stolen content
Stolen by the best!!
The real content was always in the comment section
It has ended. It is a shame.
Some tears are shed for sure. You can read many goodbyes here https://lemmy.world/c/redditwasfun
I can't commit myself to delete the app. I almost did it, then stopped myself. I think it'll sit on my phone indefinitely.
Same. It's been my #1 app for a decade, across multiple devices. I can't delete it.
First app I install on every phone for at least a decade. It's not going anywhere 😭
Yeah that's what I'm doing. Served me well, so it'll chill on my phone til I upgrade.
RIF was the one and only Reddit app I've used for YEARS. So sad to see it go out due to Reddit's greed.
RIP
I did legitimately try the official app a long time ago, and all I could think is 'why would I bother with this when RIF is so much better put together. It's weird seeing this app go out. Maybe I'll leave the RIF up on my screen as a memorial.

RIP in piece.
Reddit was fun...
I was looking at a gif of wind blowing through a grass field when it went for me. I was planning on posting long goodbyes to all my favorite subreddits, but it think this might be for the best. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this though!
Yah, it’s all over. Deleted my posts, comments, and account. Fuck u/spez. I will miss Apollo so so much. The only reason I browsed Reddit. Hello new fam!
Sync too
RIF dead for me too. Guess it's time to officially switch to Lemmy.
Yea, when I found out it was going to go down I came over here.
Joey still seems to work although it may just be showing old posts. I'm also noticing Lemmy giving me errors when I try to vote on a comment so I'm guessing the great migration part 2 (?) has started?
Yeah lemmy.world is very laggy rn. Probably new influx of posts after Reddit apps died.
Slide for iOS is dead as well :(
I thought I might look at RIF one last time but its dead. That is really quite sad. Rip RIF. Fuck spez.
First time I opened it up it just said no threads. After seeing this post I tried again and it displayed a message with a link

First I thought "haha Reddit Was Fun is such a fitting name." Then i remembered why and I was sad.
Reddit really was fun, I remember the time when meeting a redditor in the wild felt like such a coincedence because of how niche it was. Now I get to experience that and I am strangely excited for it!
I feel like i got evicted.
9 years on reddit, 9 years using rif/apollo
And just like that, gone. I'm heartbroken.
_salute _
Rest in peace RIF, you truly lived up to your name
Incoming from BaconReader. I was browsing when it went dead.
First post!
RIP RIF. The end of a beautiful era. Already liking it here though!
Big sad.
Goodbye old friend. You will be missed. 🫡
Good night, sweet prince.
Baconreader is down too. Guess they pulled the plug early. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.
That's... why I'm here
Sad to see, I've been using RIF for probably a decade. It was probably past time to look elsewhere anyway
so is Bacon Reader :(
Why is Boost for Reddit still running?
Rip

According to the Apollo dev (u/iamthatis on /r/), they invalidated his API connection early, so I would guess RiF had the same thing happen. Funny spez couldn't wait a few more hours to risk being taken at his word on at least one thing...

It's why I just signed up. I better get a cake day on this site 😤
Goodbye old friend. You will be missed. 🫡
Why are we here, just to suffer? Every night I can feel it, my Sync, like it's still there. You feel it too, don't you boss?
Still going strong here
So sad. Loved the app.
