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?

I deleted them all from my phone. I decided reddit had moved on into the type of company I no longer wanted to support. I deleted all of my comments, deleted the apps from my phone, logged back in and deleted my comments again, deleted all of their history and cookies from Firefox, and haven’t been back. Even if they fixed the current issues and reopened the public api, what they were already willing to do to their community shows what they are as a business. They will no longer get my clicks, my visits, or my ad revenue.

I’ve kept RIF, but set an app usage time limit of 0 minutes. So it’s still there, but permanently greyed out, like a memorial to what once was.

I still do actually. Stealth scrapes the old.reddit.com, and as long as that works, I’ll use it if I need to.

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 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.
