We are two days away from virtually every third-party Reddit app shutting down. Of all the ones that announced their closure, I'm only aware of one that's continuing on a premium subscription model that would allow it to pay Reddit's outrageous API usage fees.
I imagine a good chunk of Reddit are OOTL on what's going on, or haven't comprehended the true gravity of apps like Baconreader, Sync, Reddit Is Fun, Apollo, etc shutting down in two days time.
The exodus to Lemmy is going to intensify over the coming days when more and more people realise what a crock of shit the official Reddit app is. Also if the data stolen from Reddit back in February gets leaked as planned and it contains some truly spicy shit, that's going to speed up the rate of refugees.
RedReader will continue to be free, it was granted free access to the API as it is considered an accessibility oriented app.
