Like many many many refugees I'm gone with RIFs death. But still with old.reddit found myself still going back to the site on my PC with a holiday weekend.

I know I"m definitely not the oldest, but like a friend of mine and I talked, 9 years of communities, of friends, of stories for nearly a decade just got soured in a month.

So I'm here now, and admit I'm kinda lost. But hoping this is a new day.

Thank you RIF. You were singularly the most used app on my phone. You will be missed.

Am I missing something or... is RIF working again? Last I checked I would just get errors when trying to load it up after the 30th. I just instinctively opened RIF while on the can and realized after like 5 minutes of browsing reddit that all the threads are loading again.

It seems like the API is not yet fully offline. I read elsewhere that it's more likely Reddit will pull access following the holiday weekend - July 5th

Just checked, seems to still be working

I can get on there as long as I'm not logged in. Any attempts to log in have pulled to a mobile site and showing failed.

I could be wrong, but this is pretty much the equivalent of it's on life support but no function.

I stopped being able to use RIF at 0000 UTC on July 1st. I checked, just now, and it is not loading.

I guess it works if you've logged off.
