So, is it a problem that rif is still working for me some how? I went into it to see the dead app and canceled out of every message prompt after the good bye. Now when I open the app, it works.

Same here, able to load content, comments, everything except log in

I noticed this last night - it works logged out, but logged out you can't interact.

I have no idea how this stuff works, but I remember they were saying at one point that API calls under a certain number were supposed to be free? But that the bigger apps obviously used far more. Could it just be that one the initial number is hit that it just stops?

Funny thing, without being able to upvote my little monkey brain cares less to check it, and I've spent more time on Lemmy today anyway lol.

Same here, I'm able to load but not log in or interact, which is fine with me because I mostly lurked anyway, and thus way I can continue to lurk without giving them any ad traffic.

yeah wtf I just tried it and it works without being logged in. I haven't actually tried logging in though.

also, I had to restore it from a backup. I noticed it's not on the play store anymore

It probably won't last for too long. Gonna get as much NSFW as I can.
