I’d be lying to say I’m not sad about this. I’ll use the app up until the bitter end, then bid farewell to reddit.
I’ll do the same. RIF is Reddit to me, no RIF = no Reddit.
I’ve been a loyal RiF user for years. RiF is reddit to me. This really sucks. So long, reddit.
Just the possibility of RIF shutting down last week is what brought me here. Now with it being confirmed, I’m really hoping to make this my new home and saying goodbye to reddit entirely
Holy shit. They lost their two best apps on both platforms in one day. Maybe the people running the company are failing.

When you put it that way, it’s pretty unbelievable they’ve done this. They had many developers willing to make more (and better) ways to interact with the site (wtf happened to “engagement”, isn’t that the literal buzzword these days?)
They could have literally just either had a fair pricing system, ads in the API, and removal of ads for Reddit premium users (or even all 3). Even if their main concern was AI scraping, just make it so it’s limited and you can’t literally just download the whole of Reddit. It’d be very easy to distinguish AI traffic from user traffic.
Sad to see them go.
Same. This was my 3rd party app of choice. Wonder if the dev will adapt it for this platform
According to another user on that reddit post, the dev is raising funds for a new web based on reddit, called Tildes.net.
Synch is going too. But that was the point, wasn’t it. We all saw it coming. Sadly Bill Gates didn’t decide to save any of them.
What does bill gates have anything to do with this
I tagged him to see if he’d pay 🤣.
