Yep even old Reddit does not replace RIF for me. The only reason I even browse Reddit anymore (rarely compared to before) is because of how much I prefer RIF to any other "social media" app... That's why I never use it on desktop, because I actually have to interact with reddit's UI (which sucked even on the old version).
I wonder if there could be a way for each user to add his own API key? If that's even possible at all to do with the new changes.
When I use a computer and I get sent to actual reddit, the experience is so jarring and terrible.
I used to use old reddit before it was old.reddit and before smart phones dominated my internet browsing time.
Frankly if reddit is fun dies then reddit becomes just another search result rather than a place I casually stroll
