Rip RIF you’ll be remembered
We’ve been here before. Some of us old fucks have gone from BBS to IRC to sites like SA, GenMay, Digg, Reddit. It’s jus the nature of the beast.
Gonna miss the solid App support Reddit had but it’s only a matter of time before there are many great options for Lenny. Wefwef while browser based is actually really nice!
This is my sadness.
used RIF for 7 years, tried using the official app but RIF was just so much better. when i uninstalled it two weeks out of protest, it really felt like i had to say goodbye to an old friend. i do enjoy lemmy, but…
I know everyone has made the switch, but the ReVanced team have stolen the API keys out of the real Reddit app and have made patchers available for multiple Reddit apps including RiF.
You’ll need a fresh copy of the APK and:

Obviously NSFW is a no go but everything else should work.
Without porn, patching old RIF is genuinely not worth it. I’d rather wait and support the new Lemmy app by the same dev
Username checks out. Who doesn’t appreciate a little NFSW content?
I’m a RiF refugee too. Used it for almost a decade, now that it’s gone I find the official app to be very difficult to use.
The Fediverse has been really cool and I’m glad I took the jump. I was apprehensive at first, but I’ve found Lemmy to be pretty fun so far!
Any advice for someone who just made that same jump?
I stated using Jerboa*, which feels a little similar in spirit. Had to jump trough some hoops though, as your login server needs at least version 0.18 to work.
Jerboa was ok, but things started to irritate me so I found Liftoff, which was a much more polished app. Currently using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to my original Reddit app
I actually also switched to Liftoff. Will try Connect now. Thanks for the recommendation.
