MODERATORS
if you are mod of an subreddit, reddit still lets you use thirdparty apps and nsfw. i still use joey for reddit as an example. they don't tell you about it though.
I use both without an account. Relay is down to checking /r/all in the evening for a little bit and even that is already apparently at 48 calls, meaning I had to pay 2 bucks for just that casual scrolling alone. lol
Infinity is good because you can create a home feed with subscribed subs without having an account. I use that for news and Ukraine related stuff, as well as the odd game related sub. I was thinking of doing the custom api key thing but that requires an account and is kind of a hassle. I also doubt they keep that open for too long.
I'm not though
Just create your own subreddit, anyone can do it. Make it private and forget it exists
Why go to that much trouble, why even stay on Reddit?
I am not a mod there haha.
you can just create a subreddit with your own name. boom, you're a mod.
This is making my stomach sick. What about Apollo, did Christian totally disable the old unupdated version or does it function still for mods and certain people who didn't update?
most apps have auto update functions who require you to update. so normally they are all deactivated. but i have blocked the requests Joey does to it's server for checking the version check and use an older version of the app so i can still use a older version. newer versions don't let you do that anymore. so i guess Apollo is killed off completely.
