Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

The ReVanced team have made patchers available for a number of Reddit apps including Sync

thank you may your ratio be high and the copyright trolls after you be blind

those fucking MVPs i am gonna clone it right now

-don't shill it to "anyone" like some idiots did to a certain website not long ago

I'm just running into errors here, and the patching aborts itself. Not my first time using revanced either, so no idea what's happening.

Wouldn't be surprised if the ReVanced patches swapped out the API keys for Reddit's own, so Reddit's servers just think it's their own app. For now that approach may be viable, but Reddit will undoubtedly be working on checks to prevent this.

Oh nice! I wish RiF was in there but at least this gets BaconReader working again for now.
