Since the API change RiF was still usable in logged-out mode, however, it’s now consistently not loading posts anymore. They recently updated the “logged-out user experience” (see link below), which may have also been used to finally kill any RiF stragglers.
Good news is that Sync for Lemmy just released so the transition on mobile is finally easy!
I think so. I was still using RIF to view reddit results from google for some time, and now it just gets 403s. I guess the final nail in the coffin for my use of reddit has been hammered in. Patching with Vanced is a bridge too far, for me. I already have enough of a maintenance burden working around the ad-infested cesspool that is the modern internet.
