Yep, the Revanced workaround just died for me. I wonder if making a new fake app to access the API with would work again? I'm sure deactivations would continue to happen periodically even then. Redreader is an accessibility app that still has permission and is of course better than the official app, so I'll move to that if I want to use Reddit on mobile now.
I got an error message telling me that something was wrong with my user agent. Is that what you got, too?
According to some people in the Revanced discord they know of a solution to this and will give it a go. So there's that I guess.
Did they finally kill the app or is it just because the gerbil running reddit's servers died again?
Was expecting this a month ago. Guess its finally time to say bye to reddit. RIF was the only app that made reddit worthwhile on mobile. Sad to see it go.
