RagingNerdoholic ( @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml ) 28•1 year agoI’ve been a loyal RiF user for years. RiF is reddit to me. This really sucks. So long, reddit.
tookmyname ( @tookmyname@lemmy.ml ) 15•1 year agoHoly shit. They lost their two best apps on both platforms in one day. Maybe the people running the company are failing.
markipol ( @markipol@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoWhen you put it that way, it’s pretty unbelievable they’ve done this. They had many developers willing to make more (and better) ways to interact with the site (wtf happened to “engagement”, isn’t that the literal buzzword these days?)
They could have literally just either had a fair pricing system, ads in the API, and removal of ads for Reddit premium users (or even all 3). Even if their main concern was AI scraping, just make it so it’s limited and you can’t literally just download the whole of Reddit. It’d be very easy to distinguish AI traffic from user traffic.
Sibbo ( @Sibbo@sopuli.xyz ) 15•1 year agoSad to see them go.
Billy_Gnosis ( @Billy_Gnosis@lemmy.ml ) 14•1 year agoSame. This was my 3rd party app of choice. Wonder if the dev will adapt it for this platform
Ignacio ( @Ignacio@kbin.social ) 6•1 year agoAccording to another user on that reddit post, the dev is raising funds for a new web based on reddit, called Tildes.net.
Magnificent ( @Magnificent@kbin.social ) 6•1 year agoI’ve got an account there and it feels great. It just needs users, but the core is effectively res old.reddit for mobile, e.g. The reddit many of us started out with a 10+ years ago
tookmyname ( @tookmyname@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoHey sorry to ask, any chance you can send me/DM an invite? I’m just a dude that likes niche communities and doesn’t troll.
Haakon ( @haakon@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago17 years of Reddit here. If you have invites, I would love one!
Lor ( @Lor@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoHuh, that could be interesting.
Haakon ( @haakon@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoPromising, but they need to open up registration. This is happening now.
MistDusk ( @MistDusk@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year agoMy first ever Reddit app. Despite having used so many different reddit apps over the years I always kept coming back to Reddit is Fun. Going to miss it.
Starya68 ( @Starya68@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoSynch is going too. But that was the point, wasn’t it. We all saw it coming. Sadly Bill Gates didn’t decide to save any of them.
What does bill gates have anything to do with this
Starya68 ( @Starya68@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year agoI tagged him to see if he’d pay 🤣.
