The fact that Lemmy/Kbin is weird and inaccessible to most normal people actually makes it perfect for Redditors.

This truly is Reddit's successor.

Apollo was the only reason i used reddit...

I didn't even use third party apps, I just really don't like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I'd love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn't seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you'd have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I'm hopeful.

Ditto. I used to use BaconReader a million years ago, but for the most part I just use my mobile browser if I'm on my phone. But them doing this to 3PA is a red flag, a big giant one, that either they're looking at Twitter and going "wow that's working great, definitely not a huge catastrophic trash fire" or at least going "that's a trash fire alright, but one I'm willing to live with if it means more money." Time to get out.

Same with Sync

Same with Relay

Same with RIF

Same with RedReader

Reddit is going to let RedReader still work. They need it for accessibility. Also the dev is thinking of letting you access lemmy with RedReader.

Reddit is going to let RedReader still work [only as long as] they need it for accessibility.

There. Fixed that for ya!

Yes, I saw that, but the disappearance of NSFW content for third party apps is still on tracks if I'm not mistaken.
