Now for Reddit is going to stay open but I don't suspect it will be for long. Reading his post I don't think he has a firm grasp of what it's going to look like working within reddits cogs.

I've put the app on the corner to always remember what was taken away from us.

BaconReader is no more. 7 years of use from me and I am so upset. It's not the same over here

This is the one I used too. Goodbye Reddit.

For actual? Infinity still works, I guess they shut off at different times?

But yeah RIP legend

I'm not sure who they're doing it for, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the people that used it in the first place are now done with Reddit or only use old.reddit.com (until that socket disappears too)

Lemmy: 1,660,853 users
Kbin: 52,449 users

2023-07-01 01:29:00 CEST

For future reference

Edit: Yes I know the Lemmy userbase is inflated but you can still kind of calculate the newcomers unless they start deleting all the bot accounts

Furthermore, since this has garnered a little bit of attention, for the kbin stats visit this site and for the Lemmy stats visit this site

RIP to the only way I would use reddit. So I'm done with reddit too.

I know people were saying Reddit looked normal like all the protests, etc. did nothing but it’ll be interesting to see if that’s the same now that third party apps are dead or if people were just riding out the last days

Jcb2016,

I got downvoted really bad on a comment i made. Some people are riding it out till the wheels fall off. Some don't like the way reddit treated third-party apps so they came over. Everyone got there reasons!

Thank you for 12 years of fun, talklittle

Man fuck spez and all the enablers. Seriously incompetent leadership and anyone thinking of touching that IPO might as well light their money on fire.

Tiktok alone shows the masses can and will switch to something completely different on a moments notice.

I actually feel really sad for an app. Got the 429 error and my heart sunk. Rest in peace friend.

Fuck Reddit, long live Kbin/Lemmy/Fediverse.

I clicked the link and thought, I'll read this and be done. RIF is also kaput. I've decided to keep it installed because all my Reddit links default to RIF and this way I won't accidentally give Reddit any traffic.

onyx, in RIP RIF

RIP :/

corvax, in RIP RIF

Sync also shut down at the same time. Sent out a notification to everyone.

Same, Apollo just crashes, I was hoping for some sort of miracle compromise lol

Wisely, (edited )

I was hoping he put something special in like a countdown with that last update. Or that you could still open it and see something. App is totally dead.

Update: Apparently Reddit killed all the third party apps themselves early. Probably knowing we would comment only to protest and complain.

A link to Lemmy would have been good.

There is one if you open RIF now :)

Apollo crashed as soon as I finished reading the eulogy post

zann285,

That was great timing. I hope you’re not into reading apocalypse or doomsday books, though.

667,
@667@kbin.social avatar

I didn’t get to :( It wouldn’t load.

Anomander,
@Anomander@kbin.social avatar

Yeah - as of about thirty minutes ago, Apollo just crashes as soon as it boots.

ColonelSanders,

If you put the phone in airplane mode, you can get the app to load the UI at least. Doesn't do/mean anything but I suspect I'll be doing it out of nostalgia a lot in the coming months.

Anomander,
@Anomander@kbin.social avatar

Mine has started loading normally without that. Obviously no content, but I don't have to turn off connection to have it not crash now.

Wisely,

The developer of Apollo said Reddit cut them off unexpectedly but he was able to make it stop crashing by deleting his token. He can no longer access anything now but at least you can go into the app.

jiji,
@jiji@kbin.social avatar

Dang, that kinda sucks. If he was able to still have a going away message it could link to donations to help cover the refunds.

Wisely,

Reddit killed the third party apps early.
