Any ideas if the current app will transition over to Lemmy or will it be a new app? If it does, I still want to donate to ljdawson somehow!

What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits? - Lemmy.world

I’m not sure on the ins and outs of hosting/running a 3rd part reddit app, but since reddit is claiming these API charges are only for apps that pull in big numbers, couldn’t the app creators just make a bunch of versions of the app with a limit to how many users can access it? I’m not sure what reddit’s threshold is for when they start charging for API usage, but do any of you see this happening? Would it be possible for the 3rd party creators to release personal instances of their apps that are technically separate entities that could stay in the free APL limit? Again, I have no idea on how 3rd party apps are run or how they access the API. I was just curious if there was a way to keep an app under the limit.
