(self.Save3rdPartyApps) submitted 1 day ago * by Toptomcat[M][35d17tf5e5][iq0sgwn5bz] [Mithril_48][gold_48]2[Illuminati] - announcement What's going on? A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface . This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free. What's the plan? On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit. What can you do? 1. Complain. Message the mods of /r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /r/reddit, such as this one- and sign your username in support to this post. 2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at /r/ ModCoord. 3. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible., and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love. * 513 comments * share * save * hide * report top 200 commentsshow 500 sorted by: best topnewcontroversialoldrandomq&alive (beta) [ ] Want to add to the discussion?

Especially since this is a step toward killing RES and "Old Reddit" aka "the site that works well". It's not even particularly hard to not break a website, it's just corporate greed rearing its ugly head once again. The real sad part is going to be all of the information that was here no longer being centered here; for example, my Google searches almost always included the word Reddit to avoid automatically-generated websites with no real information on them. Oh well. Edit: Man, I really feel like a dick for this, but: while I am appreciative of the fact that you think my comment was worth gilding, please don't spend money on Reddit awards. That's another source of revenue for them, and the single most efficient [legal] way to tell a company that you're unhappy is to not give them money. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]Conspiranoid 20 points21 points22 points 8 hours ago (9 children) I mean, if the official app was at least decent enough and the 3rd party apps were "worthy competitors"... But it's not the case, at all. People use 3rd party apps because the official one is truly abysmal. And instead of improving their own app so that people choose to use it instead of the others, they rather kill the "competition" (lol) and force users to use the absolute worse experience. Good riddance to reddit, and f@%& them. What's coming to them (massive loss of users, and consequentially of income) is 100% deserved. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]-ipa 8 points9 points10 points 6 hours ago (2 children) Word, their android and iOS apps are absolute trash, and so is their desktop editor.

I hadn't even realized how negatively the current state of Reddit was impacting my emotional and psychological health until this recent crisis compelled me to go looking for alternatives. It's gotten to the point where I reflexively turn off inbox notifications for comment replies because replies are so often combative. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (6 replies) [-]mynameisalso 10 points11 points12 points 14 hours ago (19 children) Same.

As soon as they did the switch to the "modern" design years ago, I flipped to RES/Sync and never looked back. I looked at the official app once and ... Yeah, that's gonna be a nah from me, dawg. And my company advertises local events on this site, too, lol. So they're losing an advertiser, on top of a long-term member. I hope their VCs enjoy their golden parachutes as they finish gutting this place. At least I'm not a mod. I would be so offended. They're not paying you but they're directly profiting from your hard work while forcing you to use shittier tools.

Based on a different, but similar, post that this is also about forcing people to see ads, it wouldn't surprise me if they killed off Old Reddit and RES to further streamline the "please view ads" process, especially since I feel like many people who use Old Reddit use RES and also use an adblocker. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply load more comments (40 replies) [-]asstalos 2 points3 points4 points 6 hours ago (0 children) Many see the approach Reddit took to their revamped API offering as another symptom of a broad directional change to funnel people to their first-party offerings and to exclude all third-party support. For example, recently the compact version of Reddit got sunsetted. Then these API changes were announced. Perhaps it's a coincidence, but these changes broadly pass the smell test of "something's fishy". * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply load more comments (2 replies) [-]iwastetime4 2 points3 points4 points 13 hours ago (32 children) what's the alternative to reddit? * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]CuriousGoo 8 points9 points10 points 12 hours ago (18 children) Lemmy could be one of the alternatives it seems.

I'll have you know that when there's been a significant change to reddit's infrastructure or policy, reddit's moderators and content providers have often staged a revolt. It sounds like I'm going to say don't bother but actually it's nothing of the sort. Every single time, there has been a meeting of the minds where an equitable change has been deployed. It's worth the time. Reddit is a good site with good people. I have all the founders on my LinkedIn, I will send them notes letting them know. I'm sure they already do. I don't post a lot and I'm not well known on many subreddits, but I will do what I can. I can't see the site turning into Twitter. I will lose my s***.

The most extreme is taking it fully private, which permits a 20-character explanation as to why that will probably be a Reddit shortlink to a thread here, in /r/ModCoord, or somewhere else that's emerged as a logical place to do so by the 12th. Another is to go to the subreddit settings, temporarily make the subreddit Restricted so that only approved users can submit, and set up a sticky explaining what's going on. A third is to configure the Automoderator to remove each post and comment in the subreddit, and respond with a comment explaining what's going on. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]SellParking 2 points3 points4 points 9 hours ago (3 children) They can just make it so that those actions require Reddit admin's approval. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]skycake10 2 points3 points4 points 9 hours ago (1 child) Any change that requires admins to do any part of the job moderators do is defeating one of the major purposes of Reddit's business model. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (19 replies) [-]ForLackOfAUserName 6 points7 points8 points 10 hours ago (3 children) r/Brakebills, r/hisdarkmaterials, and r/hisdarkmaterialshbo will be going dark * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply load more comments (3 replies) [-]BumseBine 6 points7 points8 points 10 hours ago (0 children) r/WellWorn will also be participating * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]Epsioln_Rho_Rho 5 points6 points7 points 10 hours ago (0 children) I just stated to use Apollo, and I will support the black out on June 12th. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]Frostitute_85 5 points6 points7 points 6 hours ago* (0 children) When I try to use the actual Reddit app, it says I have zero everything, and that my account is always under a year old.

Edit: Just jumped on the main app. There are so many things in the feed that I am not subbed to and don't want! On RIF, I get the subs I want in my neat list.

This campaign does neither, in fact it does worse than nothing as it blows the opportunity to do something with this attention and attention is finite. If even 5% of mods walked away or closed their subs reddit would be a different experience. Everyone would notice, and you'd accomplish more than just getting attention. As well, we should have learned from Digg and reddit itself that leaving as a group is how things get done. Until there is an actual campaign to migrate somewhere else or shut down volunteer and user content driven reddit resources nothing is changing.

You can utilise Lemmy on the Fediverse and make that a much better experience. Honestly, I believe Apollo should become its own Reddit alternative platform on the Fediverse and the other third party apps build their apps to be compatible and the larger & willing subreddits migrate. It would be work but there are tons of developers and engineers many that I've seen offer help. This would be very helpful regardless to if Reddit changes it's stance or not. This would provide a way for many of the third party devs to control their own experiences and penalise these large companies. The power should absolutely be in the peoples hands as the people have made Reddit what is it. Truly consider migration to Lemmy and or convicting Apollo and or other popular third party apps to become their own platforms. 30 days is enough time but it isn't a long time. Good luck everyone.

If the Reddit executive team deems it more important to cash out a big fat check than hosting an open platform where great many developers are able to offer a better experience then so be it, but I won't be part of it anymore, and I'll cancel my subscription. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply load more comments (2 replies) [-]Khaaaaannnn 1 point2 points3 points 3 hours ago (0 children) If only we could manage to have a "no one use Reddit" day. I bet they'd notice if their user traffic suddenly dropped one day out of nowhere. The moment I can't use Apollo anymore is the moment I stop using Reddit. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]thedaddymack 1 point2 points3 points 3 hours ago (0 children) If I can't use RIF, reddit is dead to me. I've tried using the new web version and the official app, it's a laughably bad experience. Who TF UX'd these?! * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]lolafawn98 1 point2 points3 points 3 hours ago (2 children) I wouldn't even mind any of this THAT much if the official app actually worked. The only reason I switched was because the load time for comments managed to hit an entire minute.

As a user, I'd be up for that. It'd also be a nice "fuck you" to the braindead Reddit C-suite that approved this absolute horseshit. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply load more comments (1 reply) [-]commissar0617 1 point2 points3 points 3 hours ago (0 children) Yeah.... no relay, no reddit for me * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]Prisoner-of-Paradise 1 point2 points3 points 3 hours ago (1 child) I'm hoping r/datingoverfifty is joining the protest.

The users submit all of the content and all of the comments, and moderate everything for free. Now they're trying to control how we access the posts that the users created, commented on, and moderated for them? Pure, evil greed. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]T3st0 1 point2 points3 points 55 minutes ago (0 children) I r ally hope they don't kill third party apps.

I've used it since maybe 2011 and reddit before Thanksgiving since 2008. It's crazy to me that y'all want to kill the API and thusly kill these great apps. Your current apps suck Your redesigned web frontend is only worse to Facebook in the social media world. Please don't do this as you will lose tons of users. Users who likely have been around for 10+ years. Reddit doesn't even have the same draw it once did with all of the moderation.
