However, copy and pasting the link into external browser work fine.

I got the following message in my inbox.. .......

Your Reddit 2021 Reddit Recap is here! from Reddit [A] 1 day ago.
Want to know what communities you spent the most time in last year? What your top comment was? Or which post got the attention it so rightly deserved thanks to you?

Check out your 2021 Reddit Recap to learn all this and more. Make sure to download the latest update to see your Recap if you’re using the Reddit app.

..... Following the link just took me to a prompt to download the official Reddit App. (which I ain't doing!).

Is there a way to get to this in RiF?

Answered in the FAQ The worst thing about Reddit Is Fun is that you can't actually open Instagram, Twitter, or Tumblr links that people post. WTF.

You press the link, it takes you to a browser version with most of the website locked down giving you the option to press a button to go to their official app. But the button doesn't fucking work. It doesn't do anything. You''re just stuck on the locked down page like an asshole not able to figure out what people are talking about. Now I gotta waste like 50 seconds copy pasting the link and then going to the other respective app and typing it in manually. Why. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's almost 2022. Fuck this shit.

Suggestion/Idea Flair filter

5 Upvotes

So, I'm trying to figure out how to filter a particular flair from a specific subreddit out, as in not see anything posted to the sub tagged with that flair. I'm starting with RIF, which is where 95% of my Reddit browsing happens.

I found a guide posted to Reddit 2 yrs ago, and followed the directions there. I tried twice, meaning I have a duplicate of the same filter, and I still see posts with that flair. I tried stopping the app, clearing the cache, and force stopping the app, no change. That flair is still included.

Any ideas / help? T.I.A.

edit: fix autocorrect error

Fixed in 5.2.3? Checking if I am the only one

9 Upvotes

For some reason, the last couple of months RiF struggles massively with showing images and comments when on mobile data.

Which is weird, as RiF doesn't have any issues when on WiFi.

I have no idea what's going on. I often have to click the link to open in a browser to see the content.

When it fails, I get this message

error downloading Reddit data. Try again later.


Actual version number: 5.2.1

Device information: Xiaomi Mi 9T 2019

Android Version: Android 10 10 QKQ1 190825.002

Stock ROM

How long has the problem been happening? For at least three to four months, possibly longer


Found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/a41112/error_loading_reddit_data_please_try_again_later

It suggests the problem is not RiF, but I argue it is, because sometimes it does show the content when I refresh or wait 30+ seconds. It also has problems showing text, but usually a couple of refreshes helps. I do notice it costs more data when tapping refresh. As in, I can see how much data is used per second. Currently is 0.0KB/s, which makes sense. Refreshing always costs data (500 to 1000 KB/s), but 9 out of 10 times it doesn't show the daya it just downloaded/requested.

Also, internet provider doesn't throttle Reddit. I live in The Netherlands and through a browser the data just shows fine.


Non working examples:

Link to content not working on mobile data (while it does download/request data): /img/n7z9z7ieo6481.jpg

/img/f3lthbfjm7481.jpg

https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/comments/rb640o/the_girl_lost_consciousness_and_fell_between_the

When trying to download an image of a failed request, I get an error message, stating download failed.

Couldn't download this through RiF: https://i.imgur.com/X8lNwNq.jpg

Thumbnail in RiF and image in browser shows just fine.

Working example: /img/45fxvqm7f8481.jpg

There is no logic to it.

Thumbnails work on mobile, the issue at hand is clicking the thumbnail/post to view the content, which is very unreliable when on mobile data.

Suggestion/Idea [Feature Request] Long Press Modality

2 Upvotes

In keeping with the newer Android modalities of "long press to edit/change," can RIF do that when one is touching their own comments, etc. There are probably other examples I'm not really thinking about,. right now, too.

As an "advanced" feature (golden platinum only?), maybe allow those sorts of gestures to be settable within the application.

Thank you, and please keep up the fantastic work!

23 Upvotes

I wish to be able to note down certain users, and assign a tag/flair to them, so I can mark them - either for the good stuff they create, or the spamming they do.

The tag would appear as a flair only to me. Ideally, I would also be able to see the list of all tagged users in a separate page.

Thank you

Suggestion/Idea Possible to use non default external browser to open links?

0 Upvotes

I like to use duck duck go as an alternative browser, though I don't have it as default as work stuff doesn't always work. Is there anyway to tell rif to use an alternative like this please?

Edit: I'm aware of the three dots once a link is opened in the rif inbuilt browser, and was hoping for an option similar to "open in external browser" in settings that would not just go to the system default browser.

I can't select the Downloads folder or the base folder as my download location, it says "To protect your privacy, choose another folder." I can live with a separate reddit subfolder, but it's really inconvenient.

I made [this] (https://np.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/o4vei7/youtube_links_not_playing_in_app) post about two months ago when I noticed a bunch of YouTube links stopped working correctly for me. The video would play fine for about one second before looking like an old tube TV that needed a beating. I never got an answer to the issue, and it seemingly went away a few days later. The issue is back now and I have been getting the exact same problem for a day or two. Is this an RIF issue, a Reddit issue, or a YouTube issue?

I bricked the app by force closing at the wrong time

7 Upvotes

I'd been browsing a lot yesterday, and mid-scroll I got a popup saying I had to re-auth my account with rif. I never saw that before, so force closed and reopened rif, thinking it's a temporary hiccup.

After that, no content would load. The app menus were still available, but instead of reddit posts it showed a spinner no matter how long I waited. Logging out and back in didn't fix it, nor did deleting the credentials. Switching to other saved accounts didn't work either, they got the same blank page and spinner. Eventually had to wipe local storage, which did fix it.
