Relay for Reddit is still alive

Yes, and I honestly don't get it? Even NSFW is still available in Relay. What are they doing differently?

It's going subscription based, it's free right now while the dev figures out the pricing model. And it sounds like he had been given an extension from Reddit in order to figure this all out

I saw someone in another thread say that the NSFW change wasn't due to go through until the 5th so they could be waiting to do it all together.

Reddit also may have gotten their bluff called with all the bad press, the devaluation. etc.

checks

Infinity is also functioning, despite throwing up a message saying that it will stop functioning on July 1, and that the developer is going to need more time to transition it to a subscription model, so who knows. I don't have a subscription, and I haven't modified it with a custom API key or anything.

It might be that Reddit decided that they would not cut off apps that said that they would transition to subscriptions after all.

Same with Boost, still working and wasn't supposed to after July 1st. There was to be no subscription for that app either, so it should have died for sure. So strange.

Reddit just didn't apply the API policy yet
