Seems like API access will become monetized (like Twitter did it). This will probably kill off most third party apps if users are forced into subscriptions (see for example statement from Apollo)

Help spread the word over ther, about lemmy if you can. This problem is only going to get worse, until eventually reddit's API gets as locked down as twitter.

lets see how this goes - probably will get down-voted or banned for this.

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For every downvoter there are 10 lurkers that might as well join lemmy

[–] 7eter@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

hope those 30 lurkers feel welcome to contribute here ;D

Hopefully the downvotes don't bury the post and reduce it's visibility.

This comment from two days ago from Apollo didn't age to well...

[–] boot20@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Well, that aged like milk.

Based u/mukidon.

It would be nice if there was an exodus to lemmy like when Musk bought Twitter and many fled to Mastodon.

[–] xevizero@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well this news prompted me to discover this place, so there's a chance it could happen.

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

That's great! Welcome to Lemmy :-)

will this have effect on teddit.net or libreddit.eu.org?

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Seems like both teddit and libreddit make use of the API, so probably yes. Maybe they will start scraping like NewPipe and Piped do.

[–] 7eter@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

oh no - i really hoped they do so already.

[–] BlazingFlames6073@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Damn it lol. I was hoping to switch to those immediately after the change. Hope they switch to scraping.
