One 3rd party app may survive (www.theverge.com)

Verge interviewed the maker of Relay for Reddit and says he might survive on a subscription only model of $2-3 USD per month. Lots of limitations inherent in that, but maybe.

How do lemmies feel about this?

$3/month is a lot just to be able to use a 3rd party app. I don't think many users are going to go for it. And it's not like the developer is making much money off of it, it is all just to pay the new API costs.

RedReader (a realy, really good minimalist FLOSS reddit client) has been granted an exemption due to its strong focus on accessibility. however the project dev has stated that reddit is no longer to be trusted and RedReader will be integrating Lemmy and a few other networks ASAP.

Do you have a link for that somewhere? I'm wondering if there's nore cases of this kind of backpedaling.
