Joey for Reddit went down today

Shialac@lemmy.world to Reddit@lemmy.world – 2001 points –

It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

How fucking shitty. It just proves that everything spez said about negotiating with developers in good faith was bullshit.

You're right but the leaked conversations between Reddit and RIF pretty much confirmed that for us months ago. Spez had zero intention of allowing 3rd party apps to exist. Next on the chopping block, old.reddit.com

They'll let old.reddit sit around for a little while longer because of the push back they got from API changes. But I suspect by this time next year it'll be gone too and we'll get another wave leaving reddit.

pls no

There's a Lemmy interface that looks like old Reddit!

Where?

Thanks for letting us know! Here's the code repository, for those wanting to self host it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

I showed this to my friend (an instance owner) and he immediately went "Let's self host this". Really looks great. If someone could make it work somehow with RES, then it would be a total replacement.

The hero of the comments! I left there prematurely, because I know they're going to chop old Reddit. this is so perfect, I can't begin to thank you enough. You are so awesome thank you!!

You are a hero. Thank you for making me aware of this.
