I was testing #RedReader for #Reddit but to view content I was asked to accept the Reddit TOS. F*ck that shit. It claims that basically you cannot modify or create derivative works from the "content" (that is, the content that the users create or share) without Reddit's permission and if you're a mod they can ban you without any reason, simply because they can. So I deleted that app and I'm not planning to enter Reddit from my phone or tablet anymore.

So far #jerboa as been solid.

Some reddit apps might convert to #lemmy and other reddit alternatives, #RedReader comes to mind and I hope #infinity will follow as well.

This #redditmigration is really a follow up to the twitter exodus we had a couple of months back and it's a good thing.

So to all new here, welcome to the fediverse.

It's okay to feel lost, give up and come back later. Things are moving in the right direction and I'm stocked !

If you ever need help, hit me up. Whatever I don't know we'll learn together.

Excellent article on the ongoing reddit drama by @Sarahp!

Great news for #reddit users (especially those with low vision)!

As most people know, new restrictions on use of the reddit API are forcing most 3rd-party apps to shut down. However, the #FOSS app #RedReader has been granted an exemption for non-commercial #accessibility focused apps. This is because lots of folks have put lots of effort into making RedReader work with screen readers.

So, meine lieblings #reddit app, #redreader, darf weiterleben.

#Apollo gets all the press but no #redreader = no #reddit.

@frumble #Infinity, #Stealth und #RedReader sind ziemlich gut, aber werden vermutlich alle sterben, wenn #Reddit den aktuellen API-Plan weiter verfolgt.

@fatboy, #RedReader is ❤️!

#reddit kicking off third party apps

I would say to monetize their audience , they need to funnel users. And while having 3rd party access let them grow, now they think it's a blocker for monetization. Instagram, facebook, youtube, twitter, etc... enforce a client where ads can be displayed without user choice.

I've been using #Reddit for over a decade now. The vast majority of the time I've spent on Reddit has been through #RedReader, a free and open source Android app.

Now Reddit is planning on charging third party apps for API access. The developer of RedReader has estimated that it would cost them around $1 million per year for access, while having never once charged for the app.

Once again, greed ruins something good.

I use #Reddit solely via awesome third-party apps like #RedReader (#Android) and #Apollo (#iOS). So I'll be forced to stop using Reddit if these apps get killed by Reddit.

Ugh, the enshittification ( https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys ) of #reddit continues. Looks like my favourite client app, #RedReader, is probably going to be a victim of the "paid API" plan.

Birdsite under Musk is not a good role model here...

So it seems Reddit is trying to have the same bullshit approach to its API like Twitter. #RedReader is the only reason I even read #Reddit at all.

Here's what I want:

An offline-first web browser.

When you visit a URL, it checks your local cache and only if it can't find anything, does it proceed to download the web page. Every subsequent visit to the page, serves the same, downloaded content. Of course, you can manually require a refresh of the page at any time.

This is basically the way #redreader (reddit client for android) works and I think it's brilliant.

Does such a thing already exist?

#askfedi

@sotolf, for me, that would be #RedReader

I just got #RedReader earlier today to (finally) replace the mobile #Reddit client. It seems pretty lightweight, I haven't had a crash yet, and the UI is very uncluttered. So it solves pretty much all of my grievances I had with the official app.

If you use Reddit I recommend checking it out https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader

Apps on FDroid are really cool and some of them are of extremely high quality. #Tusky #FirefoxLite #Fennec #Tasks #RedReader #RedMoon #ScrambledExif #NewPipe
