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?
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.
