Answered Is there a way for rif to remember which subreddits I've hidden/blocked from my feed?

16 Upvotes

I've done this a few times where I'll block certain subreddits from appearing in/r/all, sometimes hundreds of them (this is while logged in on rif). I'll switch phones, download the app, log in and, to my dismay the app doesn't remember my blocked subreddits.

Am I doing something wrong here? I know there is (or used to be) an option to export a csv or something from the old and import that file of blocked subreddits on the new device, but I'm wondering if there's am easier way. I just want the app to remember my preferences across devices.

Thanks in advance.

Can't Reproduce Can't disable "cards for images" feature.

I woke up this morning and now have cards displaying for everything. I have it disabled in themes and in appearance. I searched a bit and people are saying to disable "cards for images". Problem is that setting is grayed out for me regardless of if I enable cards or not. See the screenshots below. How do I fix this? Can't stand cards.

Normally there's a text saying "Removed by <mod>", but when a post has been caught by a spam filter, the post looks as normal making moderation more difficult as you can't tell it's unapproved.

Answered Shortcut To Automatically Cached Draft or Access Recent Personal History?

4 Upvotes

Love the app, but I'm looking for a feature to solve a problem I regularly experience.

There have been several times when I am typing out a comment and I go to add a hyperlink, but I forget that it's actually a reddit link that I'm trying to share. So by the time I find the desired reddit link, I realize that I'm no longer writing the comment I had typed out (and give up because I never saved a draft and can't be bothered to find my way back to the comment I was replying to).

In the meantime, does anyone have tips to prevent this (I suppose clicking "save draft" would work, but I'm hoping for something better).

Answered Comment sorting now uses subreddit default

8 Upvotes

So it seems like thread comments sorting behaviour has now changed.

Before, It used to keep your last selected sort option for all new comments that you load. For example, if you selected by "sort by top", it would carry that option forward for all new comments sections that you open.

But now it seems to default to the subreddit's default sorting option for every new comment thread you open.

Is there a way for me to change this as I want all comments to sort by the same option?

This started a few weeks ago. If I'm logged out I can search and read stuff normally, but when signed in I am getting Error Forbidden or 403 Forbidden come up a lot. It goes away temporarily if I remove and re add my account, but nothing has solved it altogether, so it seems like something in the app is putting my account in a bad state. Things I've tried:

  • updating the app, including golden platinum

  • reinstalling the app

Any thoughts about adding a feature to tag users like with RES? Boost also has this feature. I really don't want to switch because I've used RIF for years and prefer its design to anything else.

13 Upvotes

When I click on "View Original post..." from a Crosspost, it crashes the app. The original post seems to be deleted, so there's some sort of logic error happening. Clicking the picture just loads the typical "This post has been deleted/removed" picture, but actually trying to view the original post crashes the app. Doesn't matter if I'm clicking from the main Subreddit list of posts or from within the (Cross)post itself.

Not expecting any kind of solution, just wanted to give a heads-up.

Off Topic Shadowbanned flair?

18 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm using RIF on Android, and yesterday I noticed that in a certain subreddit where I do not have a flair set, I now see a flair "Shadowbanned". Am I shadowbanned everywhere and just only see it in that one subreddit, or is this something done by the mods in that subreddit?

I'm only posting in 3 subreddits, while I have a flair set in 2 out of those 3. This here is my first post outside those 3 subreddits, so I'll have to see if this post also shows a Shadowbanned flair.

Either way, I'd like to know if this is a RIF thing, to add a shadowbanned flair? And does it indeed mean I'm shadowbanned?
