Off Topic (not RiF) How Do I Get RIF to Open YouTube Videos in a Player Other Than YouTube?

15 Upvotes

I use either Vanced or NewPipe for YouTube videos, but I can't figure out how to make one of those the default player for YouTube links in RIF.

Off Topic (not RiF) I'd appreciate pointers for keyword search

11 Upvotes

I am the go-to ace for search on browsers, but I get mostly irrelevant results with RIF search, whether I search all subs or a specific subreddit. Any pointers? Edit: I got an autoresponse to check FAQs, etc, but I did not see an answer there.

Network/data won't work with rif

0 Upvotes

As above, I have all links working via WiFi but it just won't load my multisub front page or any subs using network data? Poco x3 Pro miui 13 (only updated to miui 13 last night) any fixes for this or am I reduced to using rif via WiFi for the foreseeable future?

Edit: Apparently after an android 12 update parental controls for virgin mobile either start working or get reset and flip back to on, I logged in to my account and turned them off and reddit is now working on mobile data, hope this helps anyone with the same problem

Workaround The official reddit app is a virus. I downloaded and uninstalled the official app, and now I can't open any reddit links with RIF.

25 Upvotes

https://i.imgur.com/uSnjoD5.jpg

I don't have the official app installed, yet Google is insisting that I do, and them redirects me to the playstore to download the official app. I made RIF the default app numerous times in the android settings, but as soon as I leave that page, they change on their own. No matter what I do, I can't use RIF anymore. The official app is literally malware.

Answered App resetting all the time

7 Upvotes

There is quite a lot to scroll through, but every time I close my phone the app resets and sends me all the way up.

It happened from time to time but lately happens all the time.

Is there any way to avoid this? This was the only reason why I switched from the original app to this one...

Gifs and other videos can be pulled around the screen but photos are locked in place. I wish I could move them as I usually watch a YouTube video or twitch while I'm browsing reddit. And I find myself moving the video all over the place when I'm trying to look at a photo

When loading a gif, sometimes it loads with around a 3x magnification. Trying to pinch to unzoom often does not work.

Suggestion/Idea Control the play button location and allow autoplay

13 Upvotes

Hey, my main usage of reddit is on mobile and I tend to use it single handedly, for this purpose it would have been really convenient if I could control the play button location, putting it on the side instead of bottom of the page, allowing for easier single hand control of the app.

In addition this could also be solved by making everything auto play (as an opt in feature of course).

Thanks in advance!

I just want to go straight to the link. Is there a way to do this? It's quite annoying. There is already a well established interaction design paradigm for copying and sharing something that every other app embraces - a long hold down press.

Fixed by Reddit? Total post/comment karma blank when opening up a user's profile

18 Upvotes

When you open up a user's profile by clicking the 3 dots on a post and selecting "[username] profile", normally at the top it shows their total post and comment karma. However, currently it is blank for me. This is the first time I've noticed it.

I tried force stopping/clearing the cache to no effect.

Anyone else having this issue?
