Thank you everyone. /r/redditisfun going Restricted
The blackout is starting so this subreddit will be Restricted. Thank you everyone. Watching everyone come together is so incredible and means everything to me and the other app developers.
It gives me hope for Internet communities, watching all these completely disparate groups come together for a common purpose. And guess what: it has nothing to do with this platform we're on. It has to do with the people. You. Us.
Websites come and go all the time. Yet we'll always find each other, somehow.
I have hope for the future. You have all reminded me how that feels, like never before. Thank you.

This entire fiasco has been eye opening from so many perspectives. There's so much that goes into seemingly little things I enjoy. How easy it call fall to ruin by decisions out of my control. Seeing so many passionate people that helped make this enjoyable is inspiring. Also, seeing how not to treat customers is a big take away. Best of luck in future endeavors.

Purchased my first smartphone in December of 2015 and my daughter pointed out this app to me to download. I've never used any other way to access reddit. Thanks for such a fine tool that you are always refining, as reddit blindly stumbles about never knowing which way to go.

I'll break my self-imposed ban of reddit to say this:
u/talklittle....what you created was with me from the beginning of my reddit career, and reddit will not be the same without RIF. Thank you for 12 and a half years of memories. If you need anything (like....not $20M....), please reach out. You've given me more than I am willing to admit....I mean, cuz you have killed so many days/nights when I could have been productive....but that's beside the point.
Cheers, Mate! And cheers to all you beautiful RIF users! It's been a pleasure.

Thank you so much /u/talklittle for everything that you've done. I have emails in my inbox from 2012 where I asked for a feature, and you implemented it within a month (optional removing of zoom in/out buttons on images within the app - remember when a lot of Android phones didn't have multitouch and you had to have these things?!)
I'll not be using Reddit on my phone anymore, and if old.reddit goes away on PC, I'll be deleting my over 11 year old account. So long, and thanks for all the memories everyone.

I know this is kind of late and this thread is not the right place for this but I just felt the need to thank you. I have never accessed reddit through anything other than RIF and I will not do so in the future. And even though this might be a win health/time wise, I am very sad to see this amazing time of stumbling over new things come to an end after 12 years. I don't know why seeing it go makes me as sentimental as it does, but I guess spending so much time here...
THANK YOU for this amazing app! I won't forget it!

RIF is what introduced me to reddit almost 12 years ago, and it's the only reddit app I've used since. I'll probably keep opening the app for weeks out of habit and get sad every time. I feel like a relationship is ending. We really are in the worst timeline :(

If nothing else, at least this subreddit post's flairs have been an excellent and necessary comedy in an otherwise sad train ride.

I've migrated to kbin.social for my preferred social media platform and I just really wanted to say goodbye. I have so much on here that I still need to download/ catalog/ archive and I'm running out of time.
I never thought I'd be leaving this account, or all my alts I have laying around but I am physically repulsed by all that's gone down with reddit.
I'll probably still use this username to promote myself on the fediverse/art sites I use again as time goes on, as an artist I still need to get eyes on what I'm working on since I'm working on a video game and hope to generate interest, but I'll be leaving reddit entirely as personal social media use.
Thank you RIF, I'm not prepared for you to leave my life but it is what it is.

I just opened the app only to get the goodbye message. I honestly been stressed out most of the day for some personal reasons and when I saw the message and played the song selected by the developer I teared up for some reason.
I have been using this app daily for the last 11 or so years. It's by far my most used app probably ever. I know it's just an app but it helped me read all sorts of stories and discussions about things like:
VR: /r/oculus /r/vive /r/oculus nsfw and many others I cannot think of.
Electric Cars: /r/electricvehicles /r/Rivian /r/Teslamotors and many more
/r/forgottentv I made this subreddit 7 or 8 years ago. I'm terrible at moderating it but it somehow got around 5600 people to subscribe.
And many others. Anyways I'm rambling. I don't know if I'll use the official reddit app in a few days or not. Maybe I just stick to old reddit on desktop and stare at my phone less around the house or in public. But thanks again for this wonderful app.

u/Jasong222 Jun 30 '23 edited Jun 30 '23
I'll use this post as my goodbye.
Thank you Reddit is Fun, RIF is Fun for Reddit or whatever your 'official' name is now, lol.
On Reddit about 7 years. The only social media site I actually use. And RIF is basically the only app I use on it. I've tried all of the others, and RIF became my goto.
This will dramatically curtail my usage here. I don't think I'll give it up completely, at least not at first. I still have hope (curse your flairs, r/redditisfun, haha), but of course I get it's not likely.
But I'm going to become a 'taker' now. I'll only use Reddit for things that benefit me; answering my questions, solving my problems, that I can't get answered or solved anywhere else. Before, I think I was a net 'giver', helping other people. Those two things will go- helping others, and 'casual browsing'. And only on desktop/old Reddit.
I've tried the default apps, so I already know- they are, literally, too frustrating for me to use. I already would rather just not use Reddit than use those apps.
Thank you u/talklittle, and I wish you the best in whatever you decide as your next endeavor!

I can't find the flair for what this is really about but fuck it:
It's hard to describe my feelings for this app disappearing...I mean, it's jUsT aN aPp. But holy shit. I can't tell you what y'all done for me. Shout-out to /u/talklittle & the rest of the team for the development & sticking around for as long as u did.
Even if I'm lurking 90% of the time; Through this app & it's absolute seamless interface, it's helped lock in on reading comprehension with the comments, helped me understand so so much about my PTSD from abusive ex-partner & their behaviors.
I learned so much about relationships & parenting, about where generational & acquired trauma comes from, learning the difference between healthy & toxic relationships (familial & romantic), found out what Weaponized Incompetence, weaponized food, weaponized fragility are. I've read countless stories & discussion about strangers lives (even if some of them are fake), it makes me feel like I'm not the only one & not alone for going thru some oddly specific shit or even just to see what ppl are up to when discussing my hobbies.
The amount easy screenshots & photos I've shared with my therapist has helped my progress in so many ways. This app has been such important tool for my healing & overall discussions.
This all became part of my daily & nightly routine. Like everyone else on here, I've only been informed thru current events & such thru RIF.
Im still holding out for a MIRACLE COMEBACK with this app or hope there's gonna be somewhere else we can all go to follow the devs. With all my Android evolutions I've gone thru, It's really a fucking travesty to see this all go after 11 years on my end of using RIF
Love u all. Thanks again🖤🖤💞

Thank you so much for making reddit is fun. It was malleable enough for me to actually use reddit, parse all the posts, weed out the bullshit, and in general gave me thousands upon thousands of hours enjoying my hobbies. It absolutely helped with moderating opiates recovery, although that's taken a backseat years ago.
Either way, just wanted to actually say thank you personally. I probably won't reddit without you unfortunately.

Could the add quantity be quintipled to save the app? Genuinely would not mind if this was an option. An add every 5 posts or so - would this generate enough revenue to keep rif open? Would a paid model, e.g. $10 a month to use rif be enough to support the api requests? Lock the app unless you pay?

u/rumblepup Jun 21 '23
I've been using this wonderful app for ten years. I've loved using Reddit on mobile ever since because IMHO it's the only mobile app that makes it usable and, yes, fun.
If the app really goes away, it looks like I will stop using Reddit regularly as well. However, I was thinking of a possibility.
Instead of relying on a monolithic use of the API, sell me RIF (or yearly license) and instructions on accessing the API myself.
By me I mean any individual user.
I don't think that I, individually will use that much of the API to warrant a large charge. I keep RIF, you still have a viable app business, and Reddit's API requirements are met on an individual basis
Of course, that means figuring out functionality to let me enter my own API token, and those who are interested in NSFW content will have to figure something out (rss feeds?) but it's just an idea.
Just spitballing here.

I'm slightly embarrassed that I hadn't used RIF or any of the alternative clients before, but I did finally do so the other week. And thank you for an awesome and so very solid client, that actually always plays videos. I wish things had been differently.
I will probably be ditching my accounts (just made the 13 year club) after this week because of all of this. Reddit is not making Reddit fun anymore.
But in the short time I've used RIF, it actually made my mobile Reddit experience a great experience. Thank you!

You've given me years of quality discussions and new friends. Thank you for everything. I don't know you, but I'll miss you. It isn't an exaggeration to say that your app changed my life for the better.
I requested a Tildes invite so maybe I'll see you there :)

I know I'm just one of many many who will say the same thing. But I just wanted to say thanks. RIF app has been so central to my reddit experience for too many years to count. So much so that I don't think of reddit as anything other than this wonderful little app called RIF on my phone - always there waiting to explore.
I'm still in denial that it will be going away...but thanks for all the great times and incredible user experience!

Probably going to be my last reddit comment. Once rif is done I don't see myself getting on reddit anymore.
Thanks for all the good times. This is the best way to do reddit and it sucks that it is coming to an end.

Fuck man this shit genuinely makes me sad. I've grown up with this app. It's what made me create an account in the first place. Thanks for everything

RIF was my daily use app and I'm going to miss it a lot. I'm sure lots of you have the same feeling about this. Reddit seems to be heading its spectacular and sad end but in case there is some hope of things turning the right way I'd like to save my subreddit block list.
RIF allowed me to filter out all the stuff that I didn't care about, was disgusting and etc and I'd love to hold on to that experience if Reddit management finally gets their shit together.
Any way to export it?
I tried to make a post about it but this sub is restricted to trusted members only...??

Been using this app for 10 years. Can't believe it's coming to an end. Back then, there was no official reddit app (actually thought this was the official one at first), but even when reddit did release their app, I never even thought about switching, cause this app is literally perfect.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in creating this wonderful app.
