Memorial to "rif is fun for Reddit" Android app, aka "reddit is fun", shut down after June 30, 2023
Error: Forbidden first appeared on August 2
RiF started working again a few hours later
Is now appearing again on August 3
5 star overall rating in Google play, well deserved. I can't check the free ver cause it's hidden from store. I hope dev would try making Lemmy is fun as well some day :D
Update: if anyone's wondering, free ver sits at 4.8, i found it cause i had left a review on it
Aw damn :(
I was wondering why it was still working at all. Got another month out of it, I guess.
Edit: looks like it's working again ¯\(°_o)/¯
Edit 2: aaaand it's down again
Damn it, too soon.🫡
Geddit still works, it's an open-source read-only Reddit client that doesn't use the official API and uses RSS feeds I believe. It's really great for following the news and reading some wikis, though scrolling is painful right now.
lol same. RIP. doubt I'll use this but I'm perma'd on reddit anyway (don't speak ill of poachers on reddit, banworthy)
According to some people in the Revanced discord they know of a solution to this and will give it a go. So there's that I guess.
Where could I find that workaround?
I was able to spoof the client ID and get it working again.
Did they finally kill the app or is it just because the gerbil running reddit's servers died again?
o7
Update revanced, it works now
Just noticed this, as I was still using it to view news, worldnews, ukraine, and a few other subs I consider essential. I guess I'm using old.reddit with RES until that breaks.
Wellllp.. it was nice while it lasted.
its more likely its because reddit is down right now. their server have issues. here in germany i can't even access them on desktop.
Yep this just started this morning for me. Since July 1st, RiF has been working for me as long as I was not logged in (no ReVanced Manager needed), but no more.
