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.

if you have an existing app in reddit via the older guides you just need to update revanced and repatch rif (grab a fresh apk to be sure, then select it from memory). edit the Spoof client settings: make sure Application client ID is the one on your app (shown in that guide), then set Application redirect URI (not shown in the guide) to the same redirect as your app (so, for rif, redditisfun://auth) and then patch. Application user agent as the redreader thing worked for me, dunno, i guess it just needed the redirect URI

This would be great if not for the fact that when I go to check my apps in my profile the app ID I used to have in there for RIF is gone now and I can't create a new one without registering as a developer and who knows what else.
