if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that’ll come in the morning if so)

    Reddit missed their own deadline for enabling rate limits and now they are weeks away. 🤦‍♀️


    Hi Devs,

    Over the last few months, we’ve shared updates on our Data API Terms and Developer Terms. Shortly, we will begin enforcing the previously announced, updated API rate limits. Rate limits will go into effect for all apps with usage above the free limit in the coming weeks, and some changes will be noticeable over the next 24 hours.

    As we have shared, this will not impact non-commercial bots operating within free rate limits or moderator tools.

    Free API access rates are as follows:

    100 queries per minute per OAuth client id if you are using OAuth authentication

    10 queries per minute if you are not using OAuth authentication

    The vast majority of third-party apps and bots fall into the free usage category and should not see any disruptions. Our free rates account for bursts in usage.

    For apps that exceed these limits, we have exempted select clients (for example, accessibility-focused apps like RedReader, Luna, and Dystopia), mod bots, and mod tools. If your bot or tool is affected unexpectedly, please reach out here.

    Open-source app Slide also stopped working today. Goodbye reddit, hello Lemmy. I’m still getting used to the UI of Connect, but I’m glad there’s something to fill the void. May Beehaw grow into something great!

    I feel the same way now that I did when I quit World of Warcraft, and started playing Final Fantasy XIV. My favourite app is gone, destroyed by greed.

    I’m hoping Lemmy can do for me what Final Fantasy did.

      Same here, went dark as I was scrolling. Guess that’s it for me on Reddit in any kind of meaningful way.

    First post! I just want to drop a hint to anyone else coming from Apollo — I just installed wefwef.app and, despite the weird name, it is insanely close to an exact replica. I’m honestly surprised a PWA can work this well.

    Also,
    FUCK SPEZ
    RISE LEMMY

      Where does one find wefwef? A quick search didn’t give me anything obvious, and it’s not on the app store

    Just got my push notification from Sync. “It’s been a hell of a ride.”

    It actually hurt my soul a little to hit that uninstall button. Maybe I’ll try the Lemmy version when LJ makes it public. Don’t know. Kind of liking the alternatives purely because it feels like a fresh start without the reddit baggage.

    RIP Apollo. Was truly a ride.

    Currently using wefwef and Memmy to browse lemmy via mobile. Wefwef feels closest to Apollo but Memmy has a better interface.

    Also subbed to Winston on Reddit, the dev is actively responding to suggestions and aiming to release an app as close as possible like Apollo for browsing reddit. Then of course there’s also Narwhal.

    My preferred app (RedReader) was allowed to stay,apparently for free, but I still deleted my account. A shame, it was a great app!

      oh, the teddit thing looks neat, like a perfect backhand slap. good enough to just see and not interacting. I didn’t know how much history on reddit until I run the power delete suite script, it just keeps going. 9 years sure has a lot of stuff on it. XD

        Yep, Teddit works well for me because I don’t have a Reddit account. It’s quick and privacy respecting. I think I may have found it through the Privacy Redirect extension for Firefox.
