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

It's simply disappointing to see the disaster for the AMA. Saddens me to see Reddit go down like this. At least we got the Lemmy-proxy being a community project. Would love to still use Infinity as my main "reddit" browsing app, after all.

I LOVE infinity so much it's so sad to see it go..

I've seen some discussion that there may be a way to spoof the reddit API and basically plug existing third party reddit apps into Lemmy instead!

Yeah, a Lemmy proxy is in the works. Should be able to convert Lemmy instances into a reddit-compatible format for clients.
