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'm curious why you would go back? I'm totally happy on Lemmy. There are some growing pains but it'll get better and I think there's already plenty of content. Lemmy doesn't need as many users as Reddit, it just needs to hit a critical mass to have enough content to keep you busy and I feel like it's already pretty much there.

Lemmy today and Lemmy a week ago are night and day! Content has already reached 2014 reddit levels of activity. Besides the different UI, I wouldn't know I left.

Lemmy on 12 June was extremely sparse. Highest upvoted posts maybe had 50 votes and "active" and "hot" showed posts from up to 7 days prior. Now it's so much better with the amount of activity.
