I’ve been using Reddit is fun on my phone using my account’s API key and it appears the ship has now finally sailed.
I would be curious to know if others are still able to access RIF/other third party clients, or not, so we can get some basic idea if this is a single account or them finally closing the last loophole.
It’s also completely valid to not care at all about Reddit because clearly this is an abusive company and for me personally, I can only see this being beneficial for my mental health.
There’s actually a new loophole where an app called morphe with an extension called patcheddit uses Redreader’s (or infinity’s, but the dev has to pay for that one so don’t use it) api key to get third party clients working. If you want to keep using RIF, see this https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit, I tried it with Sync as a fun test and it worked well. As a bonus, you’re less likely to have your account banned as I had mine banned last year for what I presume was using my personal api key to patch Sync, and you also don’t need to use the Redreader app directly like many comments are suggesting. I presume what happened and why it stopped working for you is because Reddit revoked api keys for everyone except those who had api keys for bots and things like that. Hope this helps :)
