Like many many many refugees I’m gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend.

I know I"m definitely not the oldest, but like a friend of mine and I talked, 9 years of communities, of friends, of stories for nearly a decade just got soured in a month.

So I’m here now, and admit I’m kinda lost. But hoping this is a new day.

Thank you RIF. You were singularly the most used app on my phone. You will be missed.

    Am I missing something or… is RIF working again? Last I checked I would just get errors when trying to load it up after the 30th. I just instinctively opened RIF while on the can and realized after like 5 minutes of browsing reddit that all the threads are loading again.

      It seems like the API is not yet fully offline. I read elsewhere that it’s more likely Reddit will pull access following the holiday weekend - July 5th

        I can get on there as long as I’m not logged in. Any attempts to log in have pulled to a mobile site and showing failed.

        I could be wrong, but this is pretty much the equivalent of it’s on life support but no function.

    I’ve ended up on reddit for some search results over the weekend, but thankfully some of the subs are still private, so that is helping me break that habit.

    I uninstalled RIF when reddit said they wouldn’t back down. I’d already shredded my posts and comments.
    I’ve been on reddit since the digg exodus, and I’m fine walking away from reddit over this. Reddit, too, shall pass.

    I’m going to focus on fostering and contributing to good communities here and elsewhere. Reddit doesn’t have a monopoly on our communities - we built them in spite of the actions of Huffman et al.

    Yes, RIF was a reall well designed app. I really wish he’d port it to Lemmy. I miss its usability.
