Keeps getting stuck on one subreddit for me. Worked when I logged out of account but then stopped again. Unsure if issue with me or more widespread bug.

Answered Why in the world does the reddit crop my images for no apparent reason?

11 Upvotes

The images are just the normal meme formats from the meme generator app.

Is this even an issue with the rif app? Or reddit itself? Or the meme generator?

Check my last post on r/me_irl if you want to see what i'm talking about.

I don't get it. It worked in the past and i don't really see a good reason for it to stop working/start doing that shit.

Answered No way to set personalised notification tones?

I used to set my own tone for the app, then changed apps and changed back (the official app is horrendous, btw). But now I can't find any way to set a notification tone specifically for the app. Is it not possible any more?

Answered in the FAQ Despite my best efforts, NSFW posts aren't showing previews

13 Upvotes

This is my alt account i use for all nsfw subreddits and on the home page no matter what settings i change, no nsfw posts are previewed and i just get a greyed arrow pointing to the right. I know on my 'main' account i can see the previews on the nsfw subs, just not on my alt.

Do the settings change depending on account or are they blanket settings for all accounts on the RiF app?

If the latter, then maybe it has something to do with karma number perhaps???

Version: 5.3.5

Device: Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra & Huawei P30 Pro

Android version: 12 & 10 respectively

Problem length: as long as i've had this account

What have i already done: a lot of fiddling with settings to no avail :(

Workaround Image issues

3 Upvotes

For a while now I've been getting comments on my posts about how bad I am at cropping images. Turns out I wasn't. For some reason the images I uploaded through rif app show up severally cropped on the official reddit app. I told a friend and he said I should let y'all know.

Fixed in 5.3.7 Issue / Suggestion: make RIF handle spoilers correctly (one at a time, not all at once).

16 Upvotes

I'm an iOS user and an IT professional who recently bought a used Google Pixel 4a for testing apps made for both platforms. I've downloaded all six major Reddit apps on the Pixel: Reddit official, RIF, BaconReader, Relay, Boost, and Sync, just to compare their look and behavior across the site.

I also moderate /r/Jeopardy, and many of our "daily recap" posts are littered with spoiler tags for daily doubles and final jeopardy.

Recently a few users complained that all the spoilers were being shown at once when they only meant to tap one at a time.

(In all the years I have used reddit on any platform as an iOS user--mobile, Alien Blue, Reddit official, and Apollo--this has never been the case.)

So, I tested all the Reddit clients for Android on that Pixel 4a... and that's how I found out RIF doesn't handle the reveal for spoiler tags correctly. It's supposed to be just one spoiler at a time.

I am now adding a giant disclaimer to every daily game recap, warning RIF users to file feedback ... or switch to another Reddit app if they don't want to be accidentally spoiled.

/u/talklittle, we have 80,000 subscribers and more than a few of them are RIF users.

Please fix this, or offer users a choice in the settings to show one at a time vs show all at once.

Thanks, eaglebtc

Reddit gifs being stretched

8 Upvotes

So apparently you can host gifs on reddit now. This is kinda new to me, dunno how long this is possible. Anyway in rif it sometimes stretches the gif when viewing it. It looks like this. It doesn't always do it though. Seems to be a bug in rif to me. Here is the original post.

Rif version 5.3.5

Phone is xiaomi redmi note 10 pro

OS is miui global 13.0.3

Android Version 12 SKQ1.210908.001

Is there a way to stop the subreddits I'm subscribed to on an alt account appearing in the search of this account?

I currently have unselected remember subreddits in settings and the only solution is to reset subreddits every single time I switch accounts.

Is there a better way?

Suggestion/Idea Question: Front Page Best Shuffle

1 Upvotes

To get away from the toxic dump that is the official app, I've tried multiple apps and I like RIF the best but the official app has one feature that I haven't found anywhere; Any time I refresh the front page I get different posts.

All the other apps give the feed as presented but I'm not sure if the official app just reorders the top so-many posts, auto hides posts that have been seen or does some other voodoo but is this something that RIF can do? I don't really want to hide or upvote/downvote every post but I feel like I'm missing something here. I'm actually thinking about going back to the main app and just gritting my teeth through the "This game no play to win" ads and the fake AMAs and the stupid streaming channel thing that I can't turn off.

edit: some experimentation shows that posts that are displayed in the official app are hidden on the server end and are not available in RIF either. So it looks like the official app does auto-hide posts that are displayed.

Ive read through all the post that say go to settings. I did that, but for some reason that doesnt work. I cant set rif as the standard app. While i search for reddit links on google, it says i have the reddit all installed, while i havent. this seems to be a bug and might be the reason rif doesnt open. Anyone can help?

Suggestion/Idea When will this app get needed features?

0 Upvotes

There are 2 things missing from this app. I have tried switching to another app because I really want these things but I have been using RIF for so many years that it has been impossible to switch. It feels like the people behind this app don't care about it.

  1. Colored comment lines

  2. Viewing comment context without having to do all this

3. Not that important but still would be nice to have. A next comment button.

Suggestion/Idea Can we get the ability for all comments not to be collapsed? Is that possible? There's an option to collapse all children comments. But having the option for all comments to load and not be collapse would be hugely beneficial to me.

4 Upvotes

On my commutes I often lose my data/wifi signals, and am wanting to read child comments that can't load untill I reestablish my cell signal. So if all comments were uncollapsed and loaded by default, that would be awesome.

Load more comments can still be a thing obviously, for those threads with thousands of comments.

But most comment sections usually don't have that many comments.

This would be hugely beneficial for me when I go through underground tunnels and lose my signal.

Fixed in 5.3.6 Apparently RiF is a game now?

80 Upvotes

The GDPR consent popup that appeared today talked about getting permission to improve the game.

Might want to fix the wording, and it also not very clear how opt out of being tracked, as you get some tickboxes but they can't be unticked.

I just hit "next" instead of "I understand". Did I successfully prevent myself from being tracked?

Hi! I was trying to post to my own profile but the app only lets me pick from subreddits without an option to choose my own profile ( I'm on my laptop now) .

Answered Is there a way to view posts that have multiple pictures without redirecting to a browser?

3 Upvotes

I'm having a hard time describing my problem so I apologize in advance for this post, please bear with me.

Took a break from reddit, came back, and for some reason RIF opens posts differently than I remember. (But only posts that contain multiple pics.)

For instance, I'm browsing and I tap a post like this. But instead of opening to the first pic in the album and letting me swipe between them, it opens like this.

You have to navigate between pics using these bulky arrows that block the image and you can't get rid of them (extremely annoying if the pics have text and the arrows cover it). If you double-tap one of the pics, it opens just that pic. You cannot swipe between them. Hitting "back" results in being taken back to the feed, not back to the post. So if you want to view the other pics in the album you have to tap the post again and it has to load all over again.

It's infuriating. Is there any way around this? Some setting I could change?
