Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't mean the recent selling API rights at absurd costs but when they went from open sourcish to closed.

If they go close source, other people will take the last version of the code and build on it

Did anyone do that with reddit? It used to be open source too.

I assumed thats what old.reddit was. But idk

Old reddit was just the old UI. IMO, old UI was way better than new UI.

The reddit open source stuff was only a portion of the website and algorithm. I believe Voat and a few others might have glanced at that code. Last I looked it was still up on GitHub. https://github.com/reddit
