I’m here because baconreader died. Hi everyone!

I’ve now been tricked twice into breaking my Reddit boycott just to check and see if Infinity still works or not, and it still does.
Maybe Infinity just has enough fewer users than something like Apollo that Infinity hasn’t reached the request limit to where it’s been shut off yet.
(I don’t actually mean I was tricked. ;) )

Currently you can type libreddit.hu/r/ in front of any subreddit and avoid Reddit directly, not sure what’s happening to that domain with the changes.

I meant that I loaded up Infinity specifically to check and see if Infinity still worked or not. Not to access any particular Reddit content. But Infinity still worked for me after I first saw this thread.
Edit: Ah, and I just realized I might have misunderstood you, not the other way around. Sorry about that.

From what i heard recently, infinity is going to be subscribtion based from now on… so probably devs didnt stop app from working but are yet to implement subsciption
- TootSweet ( @TootSweet@latte.isnot.coffee ) English1•1 year ago
Interesting. I’m not sure how that works with an Open Source app. Will the API key be in the source repo? Will there be a server that Infinity routes through that adds the API key to the request? Will future versions of Infinity be proprietary? I’ll probably look into it at some point.

Man what a bummer. Just deleted my 13 year old account.

Been a redditor since 2010, RiF user from about 2015 on, then Apollo user since 2020. There’s a few work related subs I’ll still visit occasionally on a web browser (using old.reddit of course) but other than that I’m officially done.

This is so short sighted by the Reddit C suite. It makes literally no sense for them to kill these apps when every argument they made for killing them was in bad faith.

I noticed ReddPlanet was down today. Just checked it out of curiosity. Haven’t been on Reddit in a few weeks.

20 million a year? That’s wild, shame to see apps start to fall.
- MikeHfuhruhurr ( @MikeHfuhruhurr@lemm.ee ) English0•1 year ago
Right?! And then when being asked if they could maybe charge $10 million (or give people 6 months to figure things out), they just said no. I can’t remember another company that blatantly cut off all partner relationships like that.
I think the reasoning is that Reddit didn’t realize these *were *partner relationships. They thought these apps were just taking and not actually helping.

Reddit didn’t even just say no, but framed the $10m comment as Christian threatening Reddit 🔪

Boost is currently up, but they announced they’d be shutting down by tomorrow anyways. At least Lemmy / Kbin seem to be decent replacements so far. Here’s hoping they continue to fill with lots of new interesting discussions and then I’ll be done with Reddit for good.
- grady77 ( @grady77@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Agreed! I’m enjoying it so far. I think my biggest hang up is that the web apps feel like they are in their infancy without much polish. Hoping something like Apollo comes along for kbin.
- EvilColeslaw ( @EvilColeslaw@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
Rmayayo also announced Boost for Lemmy.

I deleted my Reddit account.
Not going back.
But it’s sad…

Rip sync. You were the best.
Looking forward to the Lemmy version

I’m here from using Joey for Reddit. I’m surprised it seems like it wasn’t as popular as the other third party apps. It was great for me
- realitista ( @realitista@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
I was still using Slide, I was hoping it was under the radar enough that it would squeak by but nope. Goodbye Reddit. I was user 4163 16 years ago, and now it’s time to get the fediverse up and going.
- Altair ( @OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net ) English1•1 year ago
Slide for Lemmy already has an alpha version

My Relay app still seems to be working

A few apps that have a smaller amount of users have been granted a delay in which they can set up a subscription scheme.
We don’t know yet what the subscription cost is going to be and whether the whole thing will be sustainable. It’s not clear to me for example what will happen if the users/traffic for these apps eventually rises (which is bound to happen if they’re the only ones left standing). Or why a deal couldn’t be reached with the large apps too.
Not to mention the whole sour taste, a couple months ago if Reddit had come out and said “we’re putting all ‘power user’ stuff behind a paywall, pay a sub directly to us to help us out” I would’ve seriously considered it. Now, not so much.
