Reddit changed their minds, do a half step back - RIF can access Reddit but doesn't accept login (lemmy.world)

Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives out a 'Bad request' response.

That means they are not just feeling the heat, they are probably burning really bad.

Can confirm. I can use RiF right now ๐Ÿฅบ

I will still lessen my reddit time as I lost trust on the platform

Occasionally, you run into a link to reddit; I'd rather see that link open in RiF than the browser or Reddits own app, to ensure no ad money gets sent their way.

Edit: nvm, doesn't work.
