Hello, dear friend ๐ค
I'm still there for the obscure subreddits and for users that are there not because of 'engagement' but for the love of it.
Yeah with old.reddit and the usability of RES going away my desire to use the site will completely evaporate. Agreed on that I mostly use it for niche interest and specific game subreddits.
Though it sounds like RES is optimistic that they won't be affected too badly: https://old.reddit.com/r/RESAnnouncements/comments/141hyv3/announcement_res_reddits_upcoming_api_changes/
For their own sake, hope they don't kill old.reddit.
Never used their official app but only used one 3rd party app, Bacon Reader. I'm not one who likes staring and posting/commenting from my mobile so didn't use that for long.
