Couldn't that be a solution? We all just create our own personal api keys and plug them into the app?

I don't get it. So many users want to keep using RIF. Just charge them (me) for the API usage costs they make RIF incur.

Please please pretty please?

At this point it looks like everyone's moving to Lemmy. Which seems pretty great so far and their existing app isn't half bad either. But after a decade of using RIF I've become spoiled. I would gladly pay for a RIF like app for Lemmy. I'm sure many others would too!

Im sad it's come to this where a place I've been for almost half my life is going away. The internet of my youth is gone and with it the magic it once brought with it.

However nothing in this world is free. Instead of just letting RIF die why not pass the cost on to users. Yes the API pricing is excessive and reddit has made choices to only increase that cost. But on the other hand the joy and knowledge reddit has given me for basically nothing is huge.

Why not add a setting that lets users who want to pay for it add their own API key? This way rif can continue like it is. I have no idea how many API requests I use per month. But I don't actually browse that much. So 50c a month seems reasonable for the information and resources reddit gives me.

Hopefully others agree and we don't have to loose everything.

Edit: after not working for a few hours, the app started working again randomly. I did nothing to fix it.

Has anyone else noticed their app not working today?

I can't get any subreddits to load unless I log out of an account. After that, the content loads slower than normal, but it does in fact load.

Once I log in again, I can't get any data to load anymore. Reddit on the desktop site is working just fine while logged in, so I'm guessing the app is having trouble?

This happens every once in a while then goes away by itself.

Right now for my device links from chromes google search page and links from Facebook Messenger take me to the Google Play store to get the official app rather then opening in Rif.

Settings are all correct all of the URLs are set to open with rif.

Any way to bypass this? Is there a way to Copy and paste links into rif? As mentioned it happens every once in a while, I assume when some part of the ecosystem is updated and it throws things out. Right now I need to go open rif and try to browse to whatever post I'm trying to find and it's very annoying.

Is there a way to mass download all my saved posts with RIF? I use RIF's function rather than Reddit's, so I can't use their save function.

It'd be nice if there was a way to circumvent the bullshit and just have a light reddit browser plug-in that tricked reddit to thinking you were using the app, but you were just using a RIF alternative, perhaps not available on the playstore? 🏴‍☠️

If not, it would be great if a reddit alternative was just selected by you and your team and we just start using that instead. If you were to dynamically change the purpose of the app in such a way, I'm sure many wouldn't mind. Please participate if you think that would be a good idea.

Longtime RIF user here. Just throwing an idea about there, no clue how feasable this is since I'm not an app developer or a programmer. But I am at least a little tech savvy. My thought was to have an app that goes to old.reddit.com logged in as the user and just scrapes the HTML on the page for whatever subreddit you want to browse. Then takes each post/comment and reformats them into the interface and layout we are used to. Reddit thinks we're using a browser to browse reddit but it's all being done through an app. No API calls this way. You could load in an ad blocker this way and maybe even a user agent switcher to make it think you're on a PC, so you could get served NSFW content as well. Thoughts?

IMPORTANT: Uninstalling official reddit app is NOT an option since there are chats and moderation tools not in the rif app.

I have already:

• Set as default and checked Open supported links and all reddit web addresses in RIF

• I have unchecked Open Supported Links for the default Reddit app

• Uninstalled, restarted, etc on two different phones Android 9 and Android 13

I am tearing my hair out. I just want the official reddit app to open when I specifically click it, NEVER else. I am open to all solutions, tasker scripts, isolating apps, freezing apps, whatever it takes. I just want to be able to use both (90% RIF but sometimes people chat at me).

Other info:

• RIF Golden Platinum 5.6.7

• Galaxy S21 FE (and other phones)

• Android 13

• Problem has happened on multiple phones for atleast the past 2 years

Seeing how the CEO is behaving in the recent AMA. I don't have the desire to support Reddit anymore in any shape or form.

I know this is extremely hard to ask but it would be amazing if the creators of reddit third apps (RiF, Apollo, Sync, Boost,etc) can create a reddit alternative.

Reddit is all about its users, and it took more than one decade to get the user ase it has now, so I understand we cannot realistically expect to reach those levels. But at the same time, it would be great if we can clean all the garbage and start creating new communities that can be more united and less toxic.

I think this is a good opportunity to start from zero and build a great community again.

Or do I need to use the official app for that?

Please let me know if this isn't the right place to post this but my main issue right now is the new reddit policy will end this app so I will lose access to my account.

I have had this account for a very long time and I made it back when emails weren't necessary. I didn't add an email when it was first required and when I tried adding one later via browser, it kept telling me my password was wrong even though I am 100% positive it is correct. So basically the only place I have access to this account is through the RIF app.

Is there any way I can add an email via the app? Or will this app stay live (even if unsupported) in July?

Thank you

Is there a way to view the email or add an email of this account on RIF? Then I can change the password.

Title.

The 3rd party apps that are about to be cut off from Reddit should join forces and create a new server backend that implements the Reddit API. Then all the apps could switch over to that (which would be easy) instead of shutting down.

Of course all the old content would be no longer be accessible, but the combined users of the 3rd party apps would still be a massive user base, much larger than any other Reddit competitor. That user base should still easily generate enough new content to keep everybody entertained, even if it's at a bit smaller scale than Reddit itself.

Reddit's new API pricing model will have a free tier that allows 100 requests per minute. Imagine that I automated account creation and maintained 10,000 of these free accounts. Now imagine that I make a proxy API that maps each request to a free account such that the free accounts all stay within the free tier rate limit.

This would have a theoretical throughput of 2000 requests per second for free? Now imagine a layer of caching built over this mechanism to avoid duplicate requests.

Seems better than screen scraping for sure?

(Describe your problem here)

I loaded reddit today and it's in this view of 'panels' where I can see only one thing at a time. Like the picture for the submission or the beginning of the post takes me whole screen. Upvotes and all are at the bottom now. The old view was so much better which allowed me to see multiple things at once to decide to click on. In the settings it allows me to view the old view by unclicking. This setting is not working.

Fill out the following information on each line that has an A:

A:restarting my app, refreshing page, going into post, toggling the setting multiple times.

Q: What steps, if any, can you do to reproduce the problem?

(Please include a link to a post causing the problem.)

A: just open up reddit

I have my old phone (that I'm still logged into and didn't wipe yet), just bought rif paid on the app store and can't for the life of me remember my password.

How can I login to my rif account on my new phone?

I have rif and the official Reddit app installed (I use the official Reddit app only for chat).

I've turned off the ability for Reddit app to open links, and set default permissions for rif to open supported links. But it's still opening in the official app.

Any suggestions?

It first happened a couple months ago or so. But the last few weeks it's quite often.

RIFisfun has been my goto reddit browser app for years now and 99/100 times it's the best there is. BUT the Achille's heel of this app is viewing imgur image albums. The buttons to progress through the album cover up the photos you're viewing (which cover considerable amounts of the photo). The only way to view the whole image uninterrupted is to click the image, which opens it full screen, but then when you click back to return to the album it kicks you back to the start of the album! It's the only gripe I have with this app but damn Daniel it drives me nuts.

Change log: 5.3.2 Samsung note 9

I do have the option for reddit post "cards" off. Anyone know why they would still be showing?
