Seems like API access will become monetized (like Twitter did it). This will probably kill off most third party apps if users are forced into subscriptions (see for example statement from Apollo)

Help spread the word over ther, about lemmy if you can. This problem is only going to get worse, until eventually reddit’s API gets as locked down as twitter.

lets see how this goes - probably will get down-voted or banned for this.
- frippa ( @frippa@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year ago
For every downvoter there are 10 lurkers that might as well join lemmy

hope those 30 lurkers feel welcome to contribute here ;D

Hopefully the downvotes don’t bury the post and reduce it’s visibility.

This comment from two days ago from Apollo didn’t age to well…
- boot20 ( @boot20@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year ago
Well, that aged like milk.

Funny there is no mention of Lemmy that I can see on the thread. Edit: Yes there is! https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/jgv4nh9/
Based u/mukidon.
It would be nice if there was an exodus to lemmy like when Musk bought Twitter and many fled to Mastodon.

Well this news prompted me to discover this place, so there’s a chance it could happen.
That’s great! Welcome to Lemmy :-)

will this have effect on teddit.net or libreddit.eu.org?
Seems like both teddit and libreddit make use of the API, so probably yes. Maybe they will start scraping like NewPipe and Piped do.
- 7eter ( @7eter@feddit.de ) English8•1 year ago
oh no - i really hoped they do so already.

Damn it lol. I was hoping to switch to those immediately after the change. Hope they switch to scraping.
