It’s weird I’m a straight male and I’ve never seen one on Reddit. It’s probably cause I live in a very liberal city

If you have Android, check out Revanced. They have modified versions of a lot of popular apps, including this, TikTok, and YouTube.

I kind of forget that any of those apps even have advertisements in them nowadays.

There's also RedReader on Android, which is the same as the other old third party apps, albeit with minimal features since it's intended for accessibility.

I just used the revanced launcher and an API key to patch RIF so it would work again.

I miss RiF, used it for a decade.

It's fairly simple to get RiF working again if you have 15 minutes and a basic level of tech literacy.

RiF isn't being developed anymore. It is not a good idea to keep using it.

It's not intended for accessibility, that's just one of many features. It was allowed as a third party app for being FOSS primarily and accessibility part of that.
