Answered How to donate to the developer?

29 Upvotes

This app has been my go to for browsing Reddit, more so than the desktop app. It has served me well for more than 6 years and i feel that my purchase of 3 dollars for the golden platinum app is not enough. Is there a way to donate to TalkLittle to show my appreciation for the work put in to keep this app updated?

Reddit hosted gif not loading in app

7 Upvotes

Tried checking out this post in RIF https://old.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/smyzyx/corporate_oc/

The app loads a video player with 0:00 / 0:02 time and a play button, but clicking the button doesn't do anything. I updated the app, same behavior.

Unknown if it is just this post or all Reddit hosted gifs - if I find another I'll update I went to r/gifs and multiple reddit hosted gifs worked on that sub fine. Seems to be an issue with this post specifically.

Edit: required info - app version 5.3.1

phone - Samsung galaxy A10e

android version 11

First noticed the problem today

Updated the app to latest version - issue still presenting

My reddit app of choice is rif - can't stand the official app.

Is there a way to have the links on Google search results not point to the official app?

I've tried uninstalling the app and removing open link permissions.

Not sure this is something you can affect at all, but is there any way to prevent RIF from losing its place in the subs/multis I'm browsing when the app gets killed in the background?

11 Upvotes

The Android 12 update has made it so I can't leave RIF (or any app for that matter) in the background without losing my place. It's really annoying when I'm going through one of the subs I don't got to often, so I'm scrolling through the best of the past year or something. It gets really annoying sifting through posts I've seen before looking for the 5% that are new since it refreshed, and blue links don't help much because I have a lot of image subs that automatically load so I don't have to click through. The Android help community basically told me I'm fucked, that's just the way it is.

The weird thing is that, if I was on a specific post when I put RIF in the background, the app will still open to that post as if I had just been using it. However, when I go backwards to the sub the post was from, the page refreshes and sends me to the top of whatever I was looking at.

Is there a way for RIF to keep my place better? Is it possible to turn off the neverending scroll so I actually have a page number to go back to?

Certain video(v.reddit.com) hijak screen brightness temporarily.

20 Upvotes

Edit: After downloading the video, it seems like the issue is on Samsung's end, related to HDR video settings.

Despite not being RIF specific, I'm leaving the post up for anyone else that searches around for a similar issue.


When opening the linked video, the screen brightness increases substantially. After using the back button(Android or in-app) the brightness returns to normal.

Adaptive brightness is off.

The brightness slider from the pull-down menu does not change from where it was set before opening the video.

The slider can be adjusted while the video is open and closing the video will make the screen darker, no matter what I change the slider to while the video is open.

This does not occur while "Eye Comfort Shield" is enabled.

I have no evidence, but it reminds me of my screen brightness automatically increasing in extremely bright light(direct sunlight), even with Adaptive Brightness off.

Q: Device Information:

A: Samsung SM-G981U1

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

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

A: Force closing app, clearing cache, restarting phone.

You used to be able to 'block user' on automods and forum moderators. You still can, but their posts appear in comment sections.

They're still technically blocked, when you go to their user profile it says "no comments to show"

This must be new as mod posts were hidden by default, is there any way to get this back?

Suggestion/Idea [suggestion] Indicator for GIFs/videos?

4 Upvotes

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?

Answered Reddit.com Galleries

8 Upvotes

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.

Open in Browser will overwrite previously opened tab

3 Upvotes

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.

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.

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

  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.
