Hello, I’m a reddit user since 2 years ago and i jumped ship on lemmy about a year ago. I still browse reddit for content I can’t find over here (niche stuff mainly)

With the recent API disaster my favorite and only app (infinity) got switched to subscription only, let’s just say i can’t afford that right now. I’ve heard some apps will stick around for free thanks to reddit “generously” providing API access for free to a selected number of devs.

My question being: what apps will have this free API access and so will be around for free like infinity was just not long ago? (technically the switch happens at midnight but you all get my point)

    You can get a personal API key from Reddit and add it to Infinity yourself. You’ll just have to compile it.

    RedReader is one project that has an accessibility exception due to it being very friendly to screen readers and expressly non-commercial.

    I‘m also looking forward to /r/winstonapp for stuff that Lemmy isn‘t up to yet - they want to make it possible that you can use your own API key. It was just announced, so there is no public beta yet available.
