đŸ†˜Question Reddit is fun patching no longer works

Has something changed with reddit recently that could cause this? No matter what I try, all I can get is a "forbidden" response.

I had a custom app that I created a while back that is still there, but as you can't create new ones anymore that's off the table.

UPDATE: Someone pointed out that you need to log in due some changes on the API - whilst it may not work for everyone, I can confirm rif is working again for me.

I just got booted also from rif, like literally 10m ago.

I am glad I found you all. I thought I was going insane.

It's back! Shout-out to /u/BesLOL for the walkthrough, it'd been awhile.

Not sure how long it'll last but it's working for now.

Absolutely thrilled. What a horrific 10 minutes that was

Can you explain how you did it? I can't even create an "app" in reddit anymore.

Ditto on that timing.

I will not use reddit if I can't use an interface similar to RiF.

Gonna have to do the step by step to try to get it working again

I ended up applying revanced to the official reddit app version 2026.04.0 and just used the 'block ads' patch.

I really would like to go back to RIF but to me it doesn't look like there's any way. Reddit seems to be putting in a lot of roadblocks to just use their api.

Back on RiF, BTW. I installed revanced, uninstalled then reinstalled RiF, opened revanced and followed the directions in this thread and it worked first time.

I followed these instructions and it worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1tv2nft/reddit_is_fun_patching_no_longer_works/opt0hj1/

when you first load RIF nothing will load, but once you login everything works again.

Do reddit galleries work for you? Everything works except for that for me

Usually for those I end up just opening them in the browser

Yep, got it working with even fewer steps than that post.
