Error: Forbidden - RiF not working

Damn, time to actually stop using reddit I guess. I wish I could say Lemmy scratches the itch, but there just aren't any of the communities I care about here. Just seems like there are a bunch of awful memes and copies of my least favorite subreddits.

Reddit itself is also down right now. Are we sure that’s not the issue?

I was doing the same thing. I didn't realize how crappy Reddit had become until I was forced to look at Popular instead of my custom subreddits. Oh well, I was still using RIF to keep up on a couple of subreddits, but honestly, I've been making a lot better use of my free time, so maybe it's good for me for it to be gone for good

Same. I guess it's time to pretty much cut out Reddit during the day.

Edit: thinking about it, probably most of the night too since I'm not on the computer all that much once work is over and if I am it's because I'm gaming or working on side projects.

Good night Reddit, it was good whole Huffman didn't fuck it up.

I used RIF exclusively - just super simple. Any app out for Kbin/Lemmy that gives a similar experience?

Same here. I was even using it with my actual account using Revanced. Ah well, good run while it lasted.

Was expecting this a month ago. Guess its finally time to say bye to reddit. RIF was the only app that made reddit worthwhile on mobile. Sad to see it go.

Pretty bummed about that, but at least Sync seems like a good app.

I've noticed reddit getting worse and worse content since the API changes. I've had to filter like 6 different "rate me" subs that kept appearing on my feed.

Reddit as a whole is down, so maybe small chance the forbidden thing was a result of that.

I like the Sync UI for now, but we need a LIF.

Yep, the Revanced workaround just died for me. I wonder if making a new fake app to access the API with would work again? I'm sure deactivations would continue to happen periodically even then. Redreader is an accessibility app that still has permission and is of course better than the official app, so I'll move to that if I want to use Reddit on mobile now.

It's working again.

Damn I secretly hoped it would just continue like that, I mean on the go I could have lived without being able to sign in, since I had most of my favourite subs bookmarked...

I guess it's over.

I thought RiF was axed and no longer working following the API changes.

I wouldn't know, I deleted and moved off Reddit entirely since June at this point.

I just need to visit a couple subreddits. Sadly, there's no alternate communities outside of reddit.

I thought it stopped July 1st? I stopped using RiF in mid June. I wanted the breakup to be on my terms lol.

Same. Guess the only way I'm redditing now is via old.reddit

And so say we all. Been a while since the Great Deredditing but is there any other app we can use for Lemmy that is closest to rif? Using Jerboa right now but theres still a lot to be wanted.

Reddit is back up and RIF still not working for me

It seems reddit is actually down, as I can't even get it on a pc browser. I'm holding out hope that I can still rif anonymously, otherwise, I agree, it's bye bye morning/daytime reddit.

Broken for me. Was working last night but has started throwing up the error again now

Me too. Rip in pieces, Reddit. Good thing I have gotten used to Lemmy and good apps for it have been developed quickly (I use Connect).

I couldn't be bothered to get used to RedReader as it's little bit different from RiF which was one of the best (if not the best) Android apps in regards to UI/UX. I do have the RedReader installed though in case I have to open a reddit url or look up something but I'm not interested in using it for longer periods. So I guess the lurking stops here.

The ship is sinking slowly so getting off of Reddit has been a gradual process.

It broke for me today too but I downloaded latest revanced manager and applied the oauth patch again and it's working fine now logged in as normal, pretty easy fix really.

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

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.

That sealed the deal for me to use sync for lemmy and migrate over

Well that explains it. I was wondering why it was still working after officially ending support. RIP. Now I have to full commit to Lemmy

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

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.

Did they finally kill the app or is it just because the gerbil running reddit's servers died again?

Update revanced, it works now

I was able to spoof the client ID and get it working again.

Press “F” to pay respects

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.

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.

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.

Same for Slide for Reddit. Oh well.

Will RIF be free written for lemmy?

Might not be any actual change. Reddit website is also down atm.

Infinity for Lemmy working great for me.

I uninstalled RiF yesterday. If I need reddit, I'll browse old.reddit in Firefox with UBlockOrigin on DEFCON 1 to block all the cookie/app nags.
