The vanced community is now rolling out a Patch do use our own API keys, and so, allow RiF to continue being used on reddit. Any of you tried this yet? (It’s 3:25am and i’m on my phone, so i couldt look too much into it)

    Idk if the vanced community’s patch is different, but I’ve read a couple of “add your own API key”. They end with: it won’t take much for reddit to break this. Also, even with the new key, other stuff is broken. Not worth the effort IMHO.

    Rip the band-aid off now.

      Inifinity (another APP) is managing to use reddit’s own official api key on their app as well.

      …i sense guerilla tactics in the near future lol

        They obviously have other methods to see if you are actually not using the official app. Others can try to mimic the offical app but it’ll be an annoying cat and mouse game and they might just ban users that do it in the end…
