Yes. It didn't just start working again on its own for me, but I got it working again: I updated revanced, uninstalled rif, added a description and URL in the app in Reddit settings (see below some people with user agent issues indicating that blank fields are a problem), re-patched the APK, installed the newly patched rif and I seem to be back in business.

Edit: also yes, I think they'll keep trying to break this kind of workaround, so I'm not thinking of this as a long term thing.
