Reddit changed their minds, do a half step back - RIF can access Reddit but doesn't accept login (lemmy.world)

Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives out a 'Bad request' response.

That means they are not just feeling the heat, they are probably burning really bad.

I only joined about a week ago but I've noticed a big difference too. I regularly see threads with over 100 comments and that's plenty of engagement for me. Since this is an open platform there's no entity trying to hack our brains to maximize engagement and get you addicted, it can just be a healthy discussion for those who want it.
