Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?
Infinity's dev said the app would still be usable for sometimes until a new update pass it into a subscription plan.

After BaconReader shut down, my reddit usage plummeted to near 0. Only used it the last few days to Google interview questions from my desktop.

I am one of them, except I walked away weeks ago after the lies etc.
Switch to lemmy and wefwef :)
Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.
It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.
Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!
I have, for now at least. Reddit is a hard habbit to break, and maybe lemmy is just feeding that same habbit but it's an interesting time.
That’s what I dig. Deleted my reddit account and now am either on here onSquabbles. Fuck reddit
I couldn’t get use to Narwal and the official app wasn’t it. The ads weren’t as bad as the subreddits it kept recommending. It was too cluttered. Also I wasn’t aware how many things were Apollo only. Gif scrubbing seems like such a common sense thing.
Good for them, and I am one of them :3
I’m certainly walking away for the most part, hopefully lemmy can become my daily scroller. That said though, I’ll definitely get on reddit again at some point. Its just too useful of a resource to never touch again. If I need some question answered and only reddit has it, I’m not gonna pass on it just to make a point that primarily hurts me. Other than that though, my primary reddit usage died with Apollo
Reddit? Now here's a blast from the past! Is that thing still around? I've not been there since Sync died.
In a way, I feel more free now - had an 11 year old reddit account and used Alien blue, then Apollo. I got so stagnant in consuming media that I ended up not contributing since everything I would’ve said had already been posted. But seeing the smaller growing communities across Lemmy makes me excited to actually contribute
