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

RedReader has been granted a non-commercial accessibility exemption and will not shut down. QuantumBadger is planning long term changes to support Lemmy, HackerNews, and Tild.es alongside Reddit in the same app.

I'm using libreddit on PC, and Offline Reader for Reddit for my android, I'm not good at tech stuff, can anyone confirm if they are also exempted?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I believe that libreddit is looking for a workaround against the reddit api changes, if they cannot find one they will move to web scraping

Unless they find a workaround or switch to web scraping, I don't think so. RedReader was exempted specifically because it has a lot of accessibility features for blind users who use screen readers.
