just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.
developments to this point:
- Apollo for Reddit is shutting down
- Reddit is Fun will also shut down
- Reddit CEO (/u/spez) is going to hold a AMA about the API update
- Sync has announced it is shutting down
- ReddPlanet has announced it is shutting down
- Reddit creates an API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps
- /r/videos is planning to shut down indefinitely, beginning June 11
- A subreddit dedicated to migrating to kbin.social has been closed by Reddit
The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):
other media coverage:
Coming from Joey for Reddit. They pulled a survey today for its users asking 2 questions: if we’d be willing to pay and how much and for some suggestion for the future of the app.
I said no and suggested them to think about developing an app for Lemmy.
Joey is great. Looks like it lacks tools for modding, but I couldn’t care less. It has everything else, is beautiful and customizable.
Such a shame to see it sinking because of Reddit’s bullshit.
I really hope we go forward with this migration.
So this is where you fellow Joey users have been hiding in. I swear out of all the TPA and API subs/posts it always seemed like I was the only Joey user.
About the survey, I did say I was willing to go $4/mo max. I wanted to support the dev as it has been my go-to app for years.
