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.

Eh, I'm removing RiF from my homepage, probably wont delete the app though (too sentimental lol). There's no point in using the app if I'm not able to be logged in and make comments to communities. I'll just leave reddit behind me.

u/talklittle is working on rif for tidles. I'm curious if it will be a new app, or an update to the existing.

And will he change the name to TIF?

Now all I need is an invite for Tildes haha.

I wonder if talklittle is interested in creating a client for Lemmy as well? Perhaps he could go back to naming his app Lemmy is Fun much like RIF used to be called before Reddit threatened removal of apps that didn't change their names a while back.

It's going to be called Three Cheers for Tildes
