I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
Reddit started to rate limit 3rd party apps already. At least that was the message I got using sync yesterday. Now I’m here. At least some people will come.
Fwiw, Sync has been seeing ratelimit messages at various times for the last month at least. One example from 30 days back https://www.reddit.com/r/redditsync/comments/13rrpmp/_/
Whether this is to do with the overall removal of 3PAs or not, im not sure, just pointing out.
Good to know, but at this point I’m pretty much done with reddit for good
