I expected Narwhal to stop working, too, but alas it’s fully functional.
If anyone doesn’t know what that is, it’s a rather ancient iOS app that wasn’t in the App Store for years.

That’s interesting it’s still functional. I wonder if somehow this app got an exception. Maybe it has some accessibility features that Reddit deemed worthy of an exception.
If Reddit excluded clients by their identification, then it’s probably because that app is so obscure and unknown that it escaped their attention. I expected them to white list allowed clients instead, thus I’m surprised.
For some reason Joey is still alive?
I’m here from Apollo, this place looks neat and I’m excited !
If y’all just migrated over from Reddit, Memmy for Lemmy is an app that works much like Apollo. It’s been updating and progressing super quickly in the beta TestFlight versions, and I believe the app creators said that it should release live on the AppStore sometime today.
It has made my own move away from Reddit super easy.
I’ve really been like Memmy. It’s insane how many apps are popping up that are well done. Memmy of course, there’s also mlem, and a web app called wefwef (wefwef.app). I’m trying wefwef right now and it’s really impressive.
Also on wefwef and it’s crazy how much Apollo feel they got into a mobile web app
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
I was also using Joey and during this while Reddit API thing you are the only other person I've seen even mention the app. I guess Joey was really under the radar lol
Haha I absolutely loved Joey and have also seen no one else mention it!
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.
Infinity still works for some reason.
I’m properly sad about this whole ordeal. I praised, suggested, and even defended Reddit to anyone I know because I felt we aligned in the spirit of community. That Reddit died today.
And this is my second post on Lemmy
I deleted my Reddit account.
Not going back.
But it’s sad…
I tried to use RIF. Yep, it's dead.
So long reddit.
Baconreader still works for me.
Fuck Reddit. Immediately deleted my account and came here
