Hello there everyone!
I am one of people who decided to migrate from Reddit, but I wasn't a content creator or mod, just an average user who read some posts, liked one here and there, very rarely commented anything. But as someone with some IT knowledge that also read many posts regarding protest, I dropped the site like a hot potato once it started to show my support for mods.
The kbin experience for now is fine, obviously the site needs to get accustomed to recent user influx one step at a time. I wish the devs the best! Thank for your hard work <3
But the only issue I have is that not every community I have followed transfered here or not every sub found its magazine substitute. While some of them are already growing or I can deal without them, there're few niche ones that still hold valuable information. I don't want to help create an illusion that users don't care at all, but there were times when I found solutions for work related problems there or resources and answers for questions I couldn't find elsewhere. Not to mention the niche communities. Thus forcing me to go there lurking in these cases.
And here's my question - how do you feel about it, mods and ex-redditers? In a few months that probably won't be an issue, but I'm now troubled with that as I want to make moraly right decision.
ReVanced is working on patches for several third party reddit clients to allow you to use your own API key to get around the API limits. There is currently one for Sync, hoping they come out for one for RIF.
I will be deleting my content from reddit and only posting content here, but I may continue to lurk if I can waste reddit's money with my API calls with no ads on a third party app. Their user count is heavily padded with bots and they are excluding bots from the API call changes for that reason. Even if they lose a bunch of active users we will be easily replaced by bots regardless
