That’s not entirely true. Some of the previously available API hooks literally cannot be used by third parties anymore, even if you pay. Just go look at the reddit developer posts discussing it.
Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit?
theKalash@feddit.ch 11 months agoBecause developers aren’t willing to pay the new API fees, not because of technical limitations. So that doesn’t take away at all from the fact that 3rd party frontends for reddit exist.

But also not really relevant to the initial point. Not being able to watch porn from reddit via 3rd party apps is quite different statement than there being no 3rd party apps.

Those weren’t the only hooks to get axed, but certainly the most noticeable. Look, I never fully disagreed with you, I just said it’s not fully functional, which is true and also relevant to the comment topic.

I’m personally not using any reddit related apps anymore and only vaguely followed the whole API debacle. It’s becoming shitty which is the reason I quit it.
But saying 3rd party apps or frontend don’t exist for reddit is ridiculous. They do, it doesn’t matter if they suck. I was just pointing out an error, not trying to argue for or against lemmy/reddit. But apperently some people really took offence with that.

Do you really expect the developers of those free and open source apps to pay for you using their app?
theKalash@feddit.ch 11 months ago
No.

I think you’re just being needlessly pedantic here

Right … something is wrong with me. Not the people argue oversomething that is objectivly true and can be verified in less then 15 seconds.
And I honestly don’t get why. Are you people so upset about reddit you’d rather deny reality just so you can claim some feature over reddit? How fucking pathetic is that?
