I'm still getting current Reddit data out of RiF, as of right now. Not sure exactly what's going on there.

Same, it logged me out but it's still updating. Anyone know how/why?

No clue. But it let me log right back in

Also, now that Jerboa is working. This is much better. The other Android app I was using was having a hard time

I think maybe RIF gets the main data from reddit via http, which is free. All the other functions such as logging in, commenting, hiding threads, etc use the API which doesn't work.

It's like RIF is accessing reddit in read only guest mode via free http.
