Reddit Migration

Hello

Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn't go as they'd hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that "Fuck Reddit" is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we're about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

Patched Sync for Reddit still works, but using Relay for Reddit now tells me to use the official app to browse mature content.

A couple of notes: being a mod does work around this block. It also appears that reddit is blacklisting NSFW from an explicitly defined list of client ids, meaning Revanced-patched apps are not affected at all and you don't have to be a mod.

A nice directory of subreddits and where to find them on the threadiverse!

Title. Having it just be random magazines is useless.

Can you guys help me cancel my Reddit Premium? I can't seem to be able to find the feature on my profile, and the help pages of Reddit point me to a page where I can't can't see an option to manage subscriptions

This is why apps like Boost, who never signed up for a subscription model are still functioning.

Updated rate limits going into effect over the coming weeks

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 https://reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=14868593862164.

Apologies if this is a repost. They’re scared lol.

There were numerous factors that led to the revolution, but a key one was unfair taxation. The British parliament was in a position of power and thought that they could behave with impunity for further profits.

We all attack Spez, but he doesn't own Reddit anymore. He is not acting alone. There are other rich and powerful people in the shadows backing his actions. They too thought they could behave with impunity.

Let what's happened since June 12th be an inspiration for future netizens. Power to the people who left and to the mods who continue to resist.

Here's to us!

I would love to find someplace to talk about roadtripping, comparing routes and whatnot.

I recently opened the app to ensure that it infact does not work anymore, but it just showed me the newest feed, like it did before. What is going on here? Are people funding this? Or have they switched to a third party API for read only?

This question may be moot but it's something I've been thinking about. I've only recently jumped into this brave new world so you'll have to forgive my ignorance.

I'm wondering if there's any etiquette or conventions for which instance a 'migrated' subreddit should be hosted on. More specifically, I'm thinking about the communities where the subject matter is more regional.

For example, if I use an account on a UK-based instance because that's local to me then it might not be optimal to create a community on the UK instance if the subject matter is US-centric. Would that ultimately lead to a worse experience for the majority of those community members that are based in North America?

The difference in speed for me connecting to something in the UK vs the US is basically negligible, but it's non-zero and potentially exacerbated for those that have slower or unstable internet connections. This may be particularly true while rapidly-expanding instances are a bit unstable anyway.

It's obviously up to the mods of each subreddit to decide what to do for their "official" migration. However, what I'm afraid of happening is:

1. A migrated subreddit is hosted on an instance which has a detrimental effect on the experience of a significant number of its users.
2. To combat this, former Reddit communities get splintered into multiple, region-based communities.

The latter wouldn't be so bad but one of the things that made Reddit so appealing to me was the differences in perspective from all walks of life that sparked discussion. That sense of being part of a diverse, active community might be lost if the overall Reddit migration is handled in a haphazardly way.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I worrying about a non-issue?

Reddit and its communities are preparing for a life after the platform's API changes forced popular third-party apps to shut down.

Well, had my content curated on Reddit and despised the recommendation stuff on the official app (that I never used lul). But now that I'm on a new platform, I want to have recommendations lol. The Random stuff on the sidebar's pretty neat, could've sworn Reddit has similar like 10 years ago.

#RedditMigration

the feeling of dredd i've had (and i bet many are with me) since reddit announced the changes to the API and elon bought twitter, has been perfectly represented in this essay. Once again we migrate from a place where we built a community, because a bunch of greedy assholes can't fathom a world where people embrace human interaction over consumerism.

I definetly think that this essay is worth Our while.

I only ever used the official app never the website or any 3rd party apps so what were they like and why do people miss them so much.

It's almost as if reddit's first party app couldn't even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I'm waiting for Boost for Lemmy

Still trying to wrap my head around the cross-community, cross-server talk, but then again I'm drunk so I should just try again in the morning

For me, Apollo is reddit. U used reddit long before Apollo but Apollo was a game changer. I mostly browsed reddit on phone so without Apollo reddit is unusable.

I tried googling reddit visit/post stats after the API Shutdown but didn’t find anything

Anyone got anything? I could probably dig more myself but I’d like to start a discussion on lemmy too
