That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
Shit sucks man. I've used Rif for longer than I can even remember. I never once used the official app or even view Reddit in my desktop.

Yep, never installed the app and never will. If I need access it's going to be through the old link on desktop with adblock
For some reason RIF is working for me again as long as I'm not logged in. It stops working when I try to login.
Same for me, not sure how long it will last...

o7 rip to the primary way i used reddit for over 10 years

Boost for Reddit still works for me somehow
The Creator of RIF says they are working on tildes.net, I don't believe that's part of the fediverse sadly. I really know very little about tildes anyone know why they would choose that over trying to build for Lemmy or kbin?

I've been on reddit for 17 years, I can't remember when I bought RIF. It was a good run.
Relay still working for the time being
DBrady thinks they can keep the app open for ~$3/month.
Best of luck to him, but I ain't giving him that money to just give to reddit, 100000x if NSFW content isn't available.

Used it on every phone since my Motorola Droid. It will be missed.
I think I started on iPhone 3, if that's possible. Alien blue sounds too familiar to me and I think I read it was iOS. Means I've been around longer than the 10 years on rif, if my memory is correct. End of the day it's a damn shame, greed everywhere you look, amazing how one person or a few can affect thousands so easily.
For actual? Infinity still works, I guess they shut off at different times?
But yeah RIP legend
infinity plans to switch to a subscription model. might be they stay working.
I'm not sure who they're doing it for, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the people that used it in the first place are now done with Reddit or only use old.reddit.com (until that socket disappears too)

@Teppic RIF (RES when on PC) .
was basically my reddit experience for 9-10ish years. RIF also used to pay money to reddit before spez took over from Yishan. Dumbass cut off a revenue stream for nothing and fucked over users in the process. Shitty mobile web + ad blockers from here on out if I use the site.
Logged out of my account on RIF and it started working again.
Death throes?
I used Rif for over 10 years. When the api announcements came about I started to only go to reddit once a day for a few mins. I replaced my reddit time with kittensgame. Today I replaced the Rif location on my phone with connect for lemmy. You will be missed Rif. 😢
