You are right, that's a great way of looking at this. They are indeed scared, desperate, pathetically desperate.
I actually want to see reddit kill 3rd party apps, this will provide a huge opportunity to Lemmy, and show how much power these Reddit Admins hold.
Welcome! I hope you have a good time here man, if you got any questions don't hesitate to shoot em up :)
Agreed and welcome!
Big agree man, I use apollo on iOS but before that used to use RIF, I certainly don't want to see the incredible third-party ecosystem die with reddit.
Your welcome and thanks for upvoting! :)
Oops, I actually did post there, just missed to mention RIF on the list here. I've updated it now, thanks!
No problem man! Glad to be helping, huge fan of what you've been doing here, I see this third-party API changes on reddit as a huge opportunity for Lemmy, even if not Apollo, even if any ONE developer of third party app makes the jump here, then others are more likely to consider. I certainly don't want to see the fantastic third-party ecosystem die with reddit, instead move here where it's open source and API would probably never go behind paywall as per my understanding.
And totally get you, especially at this stage I get that devs would want to focus on the development side, doing my best to get the word out! Love ya for your efforts!
Sounds good! And I update the list on the description.
Reddit deserves this.
