I see two big events in the coming weeks
Reddit said during the 3rd party app backlash that old.reddit is not going anywhere...
...so it’s dead in 6 months?

I thought 3rd party access has already gone, with the exception of a few apps like narwhal.
Is old.reddit officially being killed ?
Technically, you can still create a dev app in your profile and get a free API key “for debug purposes”, and ReVanced-like patches for Android clients such as Infinity allow inserting such keys. However, there is no NSFW access and I imagine this loophole is getting closed soon.
Web scraping from old.reddit is another option used by clients such as Stealth. It is slower but maintains anonymity and NSFW access.

(They reassured the Apollo dev of cooperation in 2023-01 so I’m extrapolating their credibility)
