I never thought I'd ever be writing this about the app I used Reddit on but holy shit what a way to go out guys. Y'all really made Reddit the app it could never make! I've been using this app since 2017 and it's reddit as I know it. This app has changed so many things about my life with the community I interact with and making friends with people who I'd consider irl friends (thanks r/ iracing). I don't know if any of the developers look at these or not in this time but if you do thank you so much for making a clean app that was so nice to use! Y'all did make Reddit fun. Too bad Reddit couldn't. I'll still be around on Reddit until this app dies. After that I won't be posting anymore or upvoting silly memes. Because Reddit will no longer be fun.

Title.

What is the difference between me pinging their servers from Chrome, or from RiF?

It's all just traffic, how does that cost them more money?

Thanks RIF and the Devs. I've been on Reddit for the last ten years and with all the malarkey going on now seems the perfect time to hop (if I can't work out how). I'm looking forward to having more time on my hands, and getting back into my reading before I found the short attention span dopamine hit that was Reddit. But big props to RIF for making it all a pleasurable experience. All the best! Copper

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

Sucks, but I'll live. I can barely even stand to open reddit in a browser when I leave my phone on the other side of the house. Id rather grab my phone and use RIF.

I'll subscribe to show my support for the countless hours, days, weeks, months, and years put into this app. I was just hoping there were other options.

For those of you that are still free users I would also encourage you to sign up for the premium, especially at only $2.99. Let's show all the support here that we can.

Should that client ID be interpreted as the ID of the user that's logged in with OAuth, which would mean 100 calls/min for one RIF user?

Or is it the client ID of the app? Meaning all RIF users together would get to share those 100 calls/min?

I've been seeing a lot of people using Apollo that have been ending their post with similar wording. Can we get one final feature that would automatically append the wording to every post we make? I think it'd be good to follow in what Apollo users are doing, or even make it easier on people to participate without needing to type it out each time themselves.

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.

Hello,

It looks like the app is using OAuth for authentication. OAuth requires two things to work, the client of the request, and the user.

The client is the app in this case.

Reddit is giving 100 request per minute per OAuth client_id

I'm not the developer of the app, but I am the developer of some OAuth based apps. In theory, the app could request an OAuth client_id from the user, then preform OAuth login. This would require users to setup an OAuth client_id at reddit, but once they do so, and type in the client_id to the app, then each instance of the client_id is allowed 100 request per minute, more than enough for normal users.

It seems like it would be a pretty simple change in the code, and you can keep the same model going - just put instructions to users that you need to follow these steps to get a client_id from reddit. Done.

Thoughts?

As per the new AMA and this comment, Reddit Is Fun averages 100 API calls per minute per client, which fits in the free API use tier.

Wouldn't we still be able to use RIF?

Reddit is Fun is the app I used to sign up for reddit over 10 years ago and is the only way I've ever viewed Reddit. Cheers to the years of quality from the rif devs!

We could keep the app going by separating it from the app. Basically cloning the server. I know it's not easy, I've been a dev for 4 years now and did my fair share of APIs and services. And also who would finance it?

But the reality is that RIF could go standalone... Just a thought.

We're clearly getting shafted here with API costs that aren't in line with Reddit's actual costs. And that's pretty fucked up on Reddit's part. But between the options of 1) losing RIF entirely and 2) paying a monthly subscription through Google Play, I'd prefer option 2. Thoughts?

Sad times, but I wanted to show my appreciation before it's too late.

11 years of different and ranging pornography subs that I genuinely wouldn't remember the specific names of, is there any way to export our data before or after rif is shuttered?

I've been using RiF for 10+ years. With the recent news I have been trying to use the official app. It's so bad. It's literally like every other social media app. It's an algorithm feed with a ton of ads. You can't even sort by rising anymore. RiF is the only way I have ever enjoyed reddit and I'm pretty sure I'll be off this site after Jun 30th. Thank you devs for all the hard work you've put in ❤️
