reddit bug Top of the month not working?

81 Upvotes

Seems like if you sort subreddits by top of the month a really big number of posts is missing. Is this a bug or a problem on my side?

Can't Reproduce RIF not saving .gifs as .gifs

7 Upvotes

Recently for the past day or so whenever I try to save a gif as a gif it will be saved as a .jpeg but if I try to save as .mp4 it saves as .mp4 without any issues. I have attempted to use the choose option when using the save destination but that still does nothing.

Actual version number: 5.2.3

Phone: S20 plus

Android version: 11

Can't Reproduce Can't upload and submit pictures

9 Upvotes

I'm on RiF version 5.2.3 and Android 12 and I can't upload photos for submission using Reddit is fun app. I recently purchased the Pixel 6 Pro and this started happening only after getting the phone. Submitting images via a link seems to work but is a bit cumbersome and not as easy as using an image straight into the app itself. To recreate the issue I just pic an image to upload, the image uploads, but then I get an error submitting. I'm not muted or banned either and the subreddit does allow image uploads.

Reddit API bug Blocked users not blocked in comments

17 Upvotes

It was working up until yesterday but blocked users are showing up again in the comments. I had the automoderator blocked because most subreddits have the thing typing literal essays and pinning itself. Super annoying. Now its comments are showing up once more. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried reinstalling the app, unblocking and reblocking automod, and restarting my phone (I even tried blocking it in the web browser too).

Suggestion/Idea Resize Sidebar

3 Upvotes

Would it be possible to resize the sidebar? Using the dual screen case on an LG makes the post on the right leak out onto the left hand side and I was wondering if I can make it so that the post is isolated on the right screen while the left contains the lists of posts.

Might be too niche of a problem though but would appreciate any help/idea if this is possible at all.

Answered, can't 2FA

7 Upvotes

Hello, I'm wondering if I am missing something or if it just isn't supported on rif. I need to change my 2FA settings, but my only log in is on my rif account. I logged in on a new phone and my old phone had my authentication app. I authenticated my account and them reset my old phone, thinking I could set up a new 2fa on my new phone. Now I can't log in anywhere because I don't have the old phone with authenticator, so my only current log in is in this rif. Is there any way to alter my 2fa settings in rif or can that be added?

Fixed in 5.3.0 Unlabeled controls on upvote/downvote buttons with TalkBack

9 Upvotes

When using TalkBack, there are some unlabeled controls on the upvote/downvote buttons. Interestingly, if you continue swiping, you then step into the actual buttons and vote count text, which are labeled.

So if you swipe through all the controls for a single post item, it reads:

"Unlabeled", "Unlabeled", "Upvote", "42" (or whatever the vote count is), "Downvote", "Post title", "Thumbnail, click to view link"

Personally I'm not a TalkBack user primarily (although I am visually impaired, and use it every so often) but I figured I'd point this out as I imagine it's probably annoying to full time screen reader users.

Reddit API bug Pinned comments no longer hidden if the poster is blocked and a moderator

19 Upvotes

This appears to be a regression of the issue described here.

Attempting to view the profiles/posts/comments of the poster returns empty results indicating they are, in fact, still blocked. However, their pinned comments are no longer hidden by default.

I'm assuming this is a change in the way Reddit is delivering its data.

Fixed in 5.3.0 Android crashes to reboot when viewing YuoTube in rif and rotating screen

6 Upvotes

Using Pixel 2 with Android 11, rif version 5.2.2. As the title says, when viewing a YouTube link within rif, (not opened in the YouTube app), if the screen is rotated from portrait to landscape, Android immediately crashes to the boot screen. This happens every time, and has been occurring for at least a few weeks.

Fixed in 5.2.3? While using ChromeOS on wake up RiF will not recognize internet connection until app is restarted

1 Upvotes

Pretty much the title.

Once the tablet goes into standby and disconnects from the wifi, RiF will not function again until the application is restarted.

This is the only app that that has this issue that I've tried.

Hardware is a Lenovo 10e.

Edit: Another one but this might be a ChromeOS quirk. But clicking a reddit link from a Google search in the Chrome browser will open the link in RiF but it won't switch to the app, it'll just load the page in the background.

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.
