Did Reddit do something stupid to scare people away again?

They actually did, for a few no 3rd party apps worked at all. But now they do again.

I thought all third party apps already stopped working?

They were working around it by using personal API keys iirc.

Have you heard of ReVanced? Most commonly known for patching youtube to allow more features, mainly adblocking. Well they have patches for a ton of apps now so if you have a reddit account and say you’re a developer you get your own API key they can be injected into some apps. It didn’t work for me for a while but I eventually got it to work for the random search result from reddit.

Self hosting piped helps too. Love my little system.

Not all of them, Dystopia for example was allowed to stay as is because of accessibility features that the native app lacks. It was even working just fine during the recent outage.

I use Geddit occasionally, I don’t know if it supports voting or commenting though since I just browse.
