I see Apollo and I’m not sure if I want to delete it.

I’m not sure why. I guess I’m kinda hoping there is some update to it that adds some functionality, but I guess that’s not really in the cards.

Anyone else not deleting their third party app for a reason?

Still have boost installed. Haven’t started it since the 11:th though.

To be honest, I’m not sure I’ll always boycott reddit though I doubt I’d ever use it daily as before. There’s still a goldmine of useful info over there (unless it’s been edited or removed by it’s users) that you end up finding when having any sort of tech related issue.

I still have Relay Pro on my phone, even though I no longer have a Reddit account. I just want to hang on to it for a while for no good reason.

Same, I don’t intend to use Reddit anymore. Just feels like getting rid of a friend 😂

I still have RIF on my phone. Looks like it still works for browsing but no login. I’ve been using it much less though

I use for long time RedReader and it is one of 2 apps still working. When the update comes I will uninstall it.

In my understanding, RedReader will continue working.

Yes but for how long. It is only matter of time it will be ditched as well.

I don’t think so. Reddit is making exception for 3rd party apps with accessibility features, so RedReader should be exempt from paying to use the API. Or this is what its developer said.

I still use Infinity, as it still works perfectly for me.

Same here. I’m pretty surprised about that.

It’s temporary. Infinity’s developer is working with admin to create a subscription app and pay API fees. There are a few doing that (Boost and a few others). They’ve been given some sort of a temporary exemption pending update rollout. You can see posts explaining this in their subreddits.

Where did you see that boost is continuing? I don’t see this in their subreddit. The app developer said it will shut down and he is working on a lemmy app. Afaik Boost is still working but that’s because the restrictions from reddit will be rolled out slowly over weeks.
