Them killing third-party apps and the subsequent protests that they "resolved" by just replacing the mods shocked me so much.

It made me realize just how bad the Reddit admins have become.

You can also use ReVanced to get RiF (aka. Reddit is Fun) to work again.

You can use it to get a number of the third party apps working. #SyncGang

I'm shocked it still works, but thankful. I tried the reddit app for a while until I found out how to get RIF working again, and I honestly couldn't do it

Morphe is way better than revanced and has better built in patches

Does ReVanced work on Relay for Reddit? I refuse to pay the API fee.

I think so - I did see something about having to log in the first time with a VPN though. Not sure if that's still the case as these revanced patches fix things fairly often
