just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

other media coverage:

Reddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA

I've been tangentially involved in this. I think if any of the bigger instance operators were to contact derivator to see what can be done to host a gateway, that would really help.

Since it's a proxy you'd want a reliable entity to host it, who you trust with your credentials. And the only entities who currently make sense would be the lemmy instance owners themselves. Eg. if I'm already connecting to beehaw.org or lemmy.world, I would be okay to point apollo or baconreader to redditapi.beehaw.org.

See here for a list of how people can help: https://github.com/derivator/tafkars/tree/main/tafkars-lemmy

That is awesome :) Thank you for chipping in. I wasn't aware it was this far along already!
