In all seriousness though, I expect reddit just hasn’t yet started invoicing for API calls. Meanwhile, they haven’t actually cut off access, because they want something to be able to charge for. However they may struggle to argue that continued use of the existing API access constitutes an agreement to start paying for it.
So is Comet and Narwhal. Something weird went on with this whole thing. It seems like reddit wanted to kill the popular apps that were actually being used by people, but the smaller ones are fine.
you can still use most third-party apps. All you have to do is be a moderator in a subreddit. for some stupid reason reddit then allows you to still use them because they probably need all help they can get from mods.
Joey as an example still works fine, you nust have to use a older version and block their versions check.
if you are mod of an subreddit, reddit still lets you use thirdparty apps and nsfw. i still use joey for reddit as an example. they don’t tell you about it though.
I use both without an account. Relay is down to checking /r/all in the evening for a little bit and even that is already apparently at 48 calls, meaning I had to pay 2 bucks for just that casual scrolling alone. lol
Infinity is good because you can create a home feed with subscribed subs without having an account. I use that for news and Ukraine related stuff, as well as the odd game related sub. I was thinking of doing the custom api key thing but that requires an account and is kind of a hassle. I also doubt they keep that open for too long.
This is making my stomach sick. What about Apollo, did Christian totally disable the old unupdated version or does it function still for mods and certain people who didn’t update?
most apps have auto update functions who require you to update. so normally they are all deactivated. but i have blocked the requests Joey does to it’s server for checking the version check and use an older version of the app so i can still use a older version. newer versions don’t let you do that anymore. so i guess Apollo is killed off completely.
Infinity is working on charging people, and the dev has been fronting the bill to keep their userbase before they roll out a billing system. Obviously, they didn’t have time to rollout a new version before the changes went into effect because Reddit gave them a month.
Why is Infinity for Reddit still working fine? The Verge hasn’t reported anything about it.
No one wants to jynx it.

I am not a mod there haha.
I’m not though
Just create your own subreddit, anyone can do it. Make it private and forget it exists
Why go to that much trouble, why even stay on Reddit?

Shhh!!!
Lol
Reddits giving a grace period to Infinity since it’s getting a subscription model developed, so they haven’t even started charging Infinity yet

Ooh. Anyway, I don’t open Reddit much, only the freegamedeals sub. When Infinity becomes paid, I’ll stop using it. Lemmy ftw!
