News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Joey for Reddit was my reddit client of choice for several years now. There never was any announcement from the dev regarding the future of Joey.

So there were speculations if he made a deal with reddit and would continue with a subscription tier.

Boost however officially announced they would shut down with the API changes coming.

I just checked and both apps are still going strong.

Shouldn't they have stopped working on June 30th?

Amy idea what's going on?

I can't say about all of them, but the RiF developer clarified it for the verge, taken from this link :

If RIF is still working for you when you’re logged out, here’s why.

“When users are logged out, the app is still working because it does not use the OAuth client credentials while logged out,” developer Andrew Shu tells The Verge in an email. However, he expects that the app will stop working in this way soon.

Sync is no longer working at all, only error messages, maybe they didn't revoke their keys, that might be a nasty surprise for those devs when they get the bill.

AlienBlue still works 😂 You can download it from your purchase history in the App store, you just can't log in.

You can download its shambling corpse too. Just search for ‘Reddit’ on the App Store.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I don't think there's a lot of competence at Reddit headquarters right now...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m guessing some app developers didn’t delete their API key like Apollo did but I could be wrong. Not sure why Reddit hasn’t pushed the 429 error out to all apps, only some, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I was getting the 429 error on RIF until I logged out. It works fine besides that. Even posts marked as NSFW are viewable still.

Narwhal for iOS is working as well as ever. However, the developer is apparently eating whatever the API cost is right now (if there even is any) and will push an app update soon that will require monthly payments to keep the app working.

[–] mr_tyler_durden 4 points 2 years ago

The developer is not eating the cost, Reddit gave them and a few other apps an extension. And also refused an extension for some apps.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Apparently a 30 day warning wasn't enough time for them to implement the changes they expected app developers to adjust too, I for one am shocked!

[–] Polydextrous 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I fuckin LOVE Joey. I went apple with my most recent phone and switched to Apollo (so, so good as well), but I still missed Joey. Joey rules

[–] BuddyLong 3 points 2 years ago

I very rarely see Joey mentioned. But it is by far my favorite reddit client.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

The Relay dev thinks they can make a subscription model work. Last I checked they still hadn't determined pricing, but they were hopeful that it would be about a 60/40 split for them/the API. I'm skeptical it will work out that way, I have a feeling most of it will just go to reddit.

But the app will continue to work for the next few weeks before the subscription kicks in while the dev works out the details.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Infinity on Android still works for me, though I don't know for how long as I got a message about a week ago when opening the app saying it would switch to a paid subscription July 1st so I have no idea what is going on there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I think Infinity secured some kind of exception to keep it running until the new subscription version is ready (likely because the app has always been free and not subscription-based). There was some discussion on the Reddit Infinity community but I haven't been on there in a while.

There is some suspicion that other apps like Narwhal are paying out of pocket to keep things going at the moment...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

RIF was working on my android after July 1.

I was logged out and got curious and tried to log in. 😢

[–] Tesco 2 points 1 year ago

It working for me now as long as you don't login, if you do it shows Reddit in the inapp browser.

[–] Marble_turret 4 points 2 years ago

Same for Boost. Hopefully it's going to be a uturn on the api thing and they're cooking up a positive way to spin it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was curious about this too. I have reddit is fun for iOS and it is still chugging along NSFW content and all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

NSFW stuff is supposed to get cut from the API starting July 5th I believe.
