If you are going to use reddit on mobile and are on android, use the Revanced version of Boost, Sync or the official Reddit app (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pretty self explanatory but if you are going to continue to use reddit on mobile, switch to one of these options. You will need to have to create your own api key but that is easy to do.

As pirates we are known to adapt to rough seas. There are always methods for us to keep accessing content and reddit isn’t going to be able to stop us.

I recommend creating a throwaway account for this. Sign up as a developer at the above link and then use the key you get from it.

Personally, I'm working on a script to scrape certain subs every few days and display them in a page I'm self-hosting. Who needs their API? All I really care about over there anymore is tech related info I need for my job.

There's even a bot that retrieves stuff to lemmy

I have created some software that is capable of synchronising posts from Reddit to Lemmy. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but it works as a such:

People can request new subreddits to be mirrored on !requests@lemmit.online. A bot (open source) will monitor the threads there, and if it finds a new request for a subreddit, it will make a new community on the Lemmit server, and add it to its monitored list. It will then make periodic checks to see if any new posts (it doesn’t copy any comments) have been posted on reddit, and copy those over.

Users can then subscribe to those communities from their own lemmy instance, and from there federation will pick it up. Or at least, that’s the theory. At the moment, federation is not working awesomely, and that is where my lack of fediverse knowledge comes in. Maybe it needs more time, or something is not so properly - I don’t know.

Furthermore: registrations on this server are closed. The point of this service is not to become a community on its own, but to deliver, ehh, “original” content to all the rest of the Fediverse while it’s going through a ramp-up phase. Besides, the instance is running on a pretty small vps, and I rather have this thing manage itself. There is a !about@lemmit.online community for further questions about the project itself though, in case people want to discuss it further.

So ehm… Let me know what you think :)

Nice - yeah, the API is just a convenient way to access the data. The truth is that if a browser can view reddit.com, a script can pull the data and put it somewhere else.

I tested out Stealth's reddit scraper and it works well. It'll probably break from time to time, but that's something I'm used to with Newpipe for youtube. I want to cut down on reddit use anyways.
