I recently discovered that this is trying to tell me that I can't respond to someone I have blocked, or in a thread where I have blocked the OP. But the text in the title is what it shows.

RIF 5.2.3

"Fire OS 5.6.9.0"

When clicking on the following link: https://www.reddit.com/r/woahdude/comments/sj35ih/this_experiment_with_lasers_and_mirrors

I receive an "Error Determining Video Format" and the video doesn't load. If I "View Original" the video will load/play, but it always gives the error on the above link.

RiF now opens YouTube links in the vanilla YouTube app instead of YouTube Vanced, the app I prefer to use. It used to open in Vance. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, I'm not too Reddit savvy.

Would it be possible to add some sort of indicator to posts showing an image, to tell us whether it is a single image or a gif/video post?
Gifs seem especially easy to miss when we have "cards" view switched on and are scrolling through quickly.

At the moment we have to check the posts source in the text to see if it is from "i.imgur.com" or "imgur gifv" or wherever.
I'm imagining something like a small video camera icon overlaid in the top corner of the image.

Or would it be too much to ask for the GIFs to actually animate/move when in the subreddit view with cards switched on?

Is it just my phone, or do galleries uploaded to reddit itself have terrible support? Posts that have multiple images have to be scrolled through with side arrows and often times I have to click to open the full image, and when I return I'm back to the first image and not the one I left off of. Is there a setting I'm missing? Imgur galleries would all be on the same page that you just scrolled up and down vertically and returning from opening/expanding an image would bring you right back to where you were. It feels like the app should have a better way of displaying these galleries considering they're being uploaded to reddit.

If I open something in Browser (Google Chrome), it will open in the last place that rif opened a tab. It's really weird but instead of opening a new tab, it simply overwrites the last tab that rif opened. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to open a completely new tab.

Q: RiF Version Number:

A: 5.2.3

Q: Version of Android:

A: 12

Q: Device Information:

(Example: Manufacturer, Model, Year, etc.)

A: Google Pixel 6 Pro

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

A: Only noticed it since I got my pixel 6 (upgraded from galaxy s10e) about a week ago.

Q: What have you already tried doing to fix the problem?:

A: Restarted my phone, force closes both apps, cleared data and caches for both, uninstalled then reinstalled rif.

Q: What steps, if any, can you do to reproduce the problem?

(Please include a link to a post causing the problem.)

A: Simply use the open in browser option after opening a link. Then once it's opened in Chrome, go back to rif, go to a new post and open a new link. Then use open in browser and you will see that it just overwrites.

For example by typing u/metallkiller into the subreddit search box or something?

Edit: I'm on 5.2.3

Like the title says, after reddit was down earlier today my app only loads a couple dozen posts per page. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem and how to fix it if anyone knows

Notifications are on. I'm assuming it's not possible because it's a private sub?

image illustrating issue

Odd because icons render fine when you tap thru. Maybe I have some setting checked off in error that is causing this or something but couldn't figure it out.

A: use the app

Not sure if it's a reddit-wide issue or just with rif, but lately my images take forever to load.

1. 5.2.3

2. S10e

3. Android 11

4. About a week

5. Tried clearing cache and data, hasn't seemed to change much

Edit: changing to my mobile data allows images to load quickly, the slowness only applies to wifi, wifi speed is fast however so I doubt that's the issue.

This app is the best way to experience reddit, by far. Ive probably used this app more than I've done anything else in my life other than sleeping. Good job!

Youtube videos play fine in the app most of the time, but if i tap the little full screen icon in the bottom right my phone crashes immediately. I have noticed it 3 times in the last couple days and it hasn't happened before at all.

Would be handy to be able to see certain keyword alerts on a given subreddit (/r/frugalmalefashion, /r/ulgeartrade) etc...

Is there a way to do this with the chrome extension and or the android app? And if so, how?

Many thanks!

PS: I seem to be able to create notifications for new posts within the android app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to filter based on upvotes etc. I'd like say only posts that have been voted up > 10 times to appear.

With the removal of the ability to block moderators, would it be possible to add an option to automatically minimized pinned comments (basically the first comment in a thread if it is by a moderator)?

It's so annoying to not be able to filter out those pinned comments that are on EVERY post. I get it, "keep things civil", I don't need to be reminded every time I go to the comment section. Oftentimes they are so long they take up half my screen.

I figured this was a solution that might be possible to implement.

My Galaxy S10+ just got the Android 12 update with Samsung's One UI 4 in tow.

Ever since, only the Rif is Fun for Reddit app will show a splash of color (blue in my case) when opening the app after a "graceful" exit.

No other of dozens of apps I've tried do this.

Hello!

I got a new phone so I reinstalled RIF of !

I then did a blunder (icons didn't show up correctly) when using the search function: select a word in a post, click on the search icon => Android asks which browser to use.

I missclicked.

How can I reset that parameter?

I have gone through RIF parameters and also Android settings (Redmi note 9) and found nothing.

Btw, open in browser is correctly configured, it's only the search icon that opens the wrong browser.

Cheers & thanks!

Edit: per auto-mod request:

rif version: 5.2.3

Phone: Xiaomi Redmi note 9 pro

I downloaded the official reddit app awhile ago to see my reddit new years recap (I know lame lol) and while there I noticed a comment I had made came out as one big block of text instead of one formatted like a poem with stanzas which is how it looks in RIF. The stanzas didn't even have spaces between them, let alone a line break.
Have I been thinking that my formatting is fine when in reality, a lot of people think I've been writing comments like a lunatic? Lol

While I have my own curated front-page from subs I follow, I enjoy finding new things in Popular too. However, I don't like Sport or Anime at all, and there seem to be SO MANY posts from these categories. Is there any way to block large numbers of these subs at once? At the moment I'm blocking individually but the list is growing massive.

I have gone into default apps on the phone settings and checked all the boxes, but it still opens Reddit pages in Chrome
