No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Without looking into any information, I can guess that it is associated with API key which are registered to a specific email. Sure, you can open more email accounts and more APIs but this is becoming a hustle.
What they could do, is release their code, and for user to register their own API and compile the app on their own. But this solution would answer only tech savi people.
Couldn't they just have the app ask for the user's API key? I use a weather app that does that with OpenWeatherMap.
They could, use, but this requires extra work from the user, who might just say "nah... I'll just use the official app instead"
I think the people that would seek out a third party app are mostly the kind of people that would do the extra work of copying and pasting an API key. It will definitely be a smaller userbase than before though.
I think I read somewhere this was against TOS or smth, take that with a huge grain of salt because I'm not sure if I'm remembering that right.
If that's the case, then the point of all of that is definitely to get people onto the official app and not to save money on "inefficient" API calls.
Either way, I won't be going back. I am tired of being the product.
The developer of Infinity for Reddit (Android app) said they were going to do just that.
Ha! Cool for them!
I guess, though, that the guys who have the skills to enjoy this are the first to switch out of reddit to begin with.
I just did this from a guide on their reddit, it was super easy...hopefully it sticks!
Yeah. I can't code but I can follow instructions to compile an app and add my own API key. But given everything that's happened I sure as hell am not going to bother.
Yep! I found a guide on their reddit page for this, it was really easy and I only have a basic understanding of this stuff!
They basically wrote a mini how-to on their sub a day or two ago. It's very doable. Can't bring myself to do the work just to go to that site again on mobile.
