Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

did all of them stopped working already 😔 ?

The ReVanced team have stolen the API keys from the actual Reddit app and have made patchers available for a number of Reddit apps including Sync & RiF. You'll need a fresh copy of the APK and ReVanced manager:

thank you may your ratio be high and the copyright trolls after you be blind

those fucking MVPs i am gonna clone it right now

-don't shill it to "anyone" like some idiots did to a certain website not long ago

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Wow that was quick, those devs are crazy 😲 🏆 cloning just in-case it gets taken down

[–] aram855@feddit.cl 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just running into errors here, and the patching aborts itself. Not my first time using revanced either, so no idea what's happening.

Thank you, I did it and it worked flawlessly for Rif. Here's a guide for people who may find it confusing and just want to use RiF again ASAP.

First step, install the latest Rif from Play Store.

Second step, visit reddit.com/prefs/apps

Third, Create a new app, select Installed App and under redirection URL type in "redditisfun://auth" with no quotes.

Fourth, Under Redirect paste the API key above into a text file in the root directory of your folder, for example if you open Solid Explorer the first page here is where you open a new text file and name the file "reddit_clientid_revanced.txt" without quotes, paste JUST your API key in this file, and save it and don't move the file.

Fifth, go to Revanced Manager and patch RIF, when it's done, uninstall your current copy of RIF, and press the update button to install the newly patched RiF, everything should work including NSFW for now, don't forget to login like normally.

Wouldn't be surprised if the ReVanced patches swapped out the API keys for Reddit's own, so Reddit's servers just think it's their own app. For now that approach may be viable, but Reddit will undoubtedly be working on checks to prevent this.

that's just sad well i hope this is for the best

[–] cy4n@waveform.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

most probably. finally communities got rid of spez looming over them. personally can't wait for sync for lemmy

[–] mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

yeah can't wait for us to become the biggest community on Lemmy

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemmy seems interesting. A bit confusing, we’ll see as it grows.

[–] aradon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you haven't already, try one of the mobile apps. Makes lemmy much more ui friendly to me. Same reason I fell in love with reddit so long ago. I ended up going with jerboa for those rif vibes.

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 years ago

I am using wefwef! My biggest hurdle is just finding all the communities, then, I used to be primarily a lurker, I have a feeling I’m going to have to contribute to content in some of these places until there are more users.

infinity is still working for me, somehow

[–] noundus@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Teddit and Libreddit are still working. I guess you don't need an API key to lurk.

[–] mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

yeah , and i don't\won't login or post there ever !

[–] ninchuka@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think they do use the API so no idea how they will handle it, or if they've started working on it with out the API or what their plans are

Relay is still working. It's moving to a subscription model, but it's free in the interim.

[–] PolarisFx@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Relay was my app, I was wondering why he wasn't as active in the last month as every other app. I already deleted Relay and switched to Connect but I'll be interested to see what price point he was allowed to continue at. Apollo was making money off Reddit using Apple's famed SaaS model, but relay only made money off selling the pro version of the app and ads on the free version. I'm wondering if Reddit was more accommodating to them because of that

Baconreader stopped working around 5 pm yesterday for me

[–] MrTulip@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Checked RIF just after midnight. Got a goodbye message and nothing else.

[–] Invader753@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I'm still using infinity.
