When Reddit killed the use of its API for third party clients

Yep, when RIF died I left. I only go there for Google searches now, and only if the info isn't somewhere else.

Exactly the same situation for me. What I miss most perhaps is play-by-post roleplay communities. A lot of them have straight up died after many of us left reddit, and we never managed to move them elsewhere.

In my opinion I risk to say that part of the internet died with split of Reddit and when they opted to walk in the wrong path selling user data to train AI

Relay Pro was my app of choice. Whenever the 3rd party API usage was set to astronomical prices, i quit in solidarity. Now I am educated about the Fediverse :)
