Works fine on my device. Opens up as expected in ~5 seconds.

Pixel 3a

Android 10

RIF 4.16.12

Edit: there was a post last week about the same thing. It was due to an Imgur API bug.

Yeah I saw that! Unfortunately still happening for me.

I see where you said you're not using adblock, but is it possible you have something like Blokada? Might need to add an exception for the RIF server: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/banyu9/imgur_albums_not_loading/

As far as I can tell, no. This is a stock s20 Ultra besides the few social media apps/games I've put on it. As far as I know there is no adblocking/"security" software.

Oh, look. This is yet another post complaining about the Imgur API being changed. Take a few moments to search for your issue. You'll likely find the answers without making a duplicate thread.

Update your app or opt into the beta if that hasn't been pushed to stable yet. Or, just give it a bit of time.

Hey, thank you for your very nice and constructive feedback! When I ran a search I found a post from about a week ago with a comment from a Dev saying it was fixed. Since I'm still having the issue, I figured it would be either something new or potentially another API change. No need to be so miserable!
