Do you know if this is a somewhat permanent solution? I'd like to stick it to spez for being a dickhole, but I don't think enough people actually cared to leave to make enough of an impact so if RIF will continue to work I would like to use it.

It's not permanent, I had to reapply the patch today as well after it stopped working.

Since the original app isn't updated anymore it's a matter of time before Reddit changes something so drastic that we won't be able to use it anymore. I'm happy about the timing of the release of the Sync app for Lemmy though. It's working great and way smoother than all the other apps. If RIF drops dead, I can stick with Lemmy now.

Hi, question for you: When you reapplied the patch, were you able to reuse the API key from your first patch, or did you have to create a new one?

[-] Flippiej@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't have to change anything. Only repatch the installed app without touching the API key.

Well, reading this thread, it seems that it is not a permanent solution.
