Updated my Reddit-Widget for #scriptable to version 1.4.1
I’ve added Lockscreen-Widgets which shows your total Karma or the status of your recent post/comment.
I also changed a bit the look of the homescreen widgets

Making the API too ex$pen$ive for small groups to use has restricted the Reddit user base; it’s lacking diversity now. They’re down to “nice guy”edgelords waiting to grow up enough to join the Blue Check Army over on TwitterX.

Is there any replacement on the Fediverse for the r/Open_Science subreddit that feeds the @OpenScienceFeed bot?
There's none on https://sub.rehab/ yet, but I'm not sure how long it will outlast further #RedditAPI enclosure.

@Azeria I used to just directly hit twitter profiles of people I cared about, but that's currently not an option, so I'm on Mastodon. Between the twitter thing and not being on Reddit due to #redditapi pricing change & no #redditisfun app, productivity is at an all time high.
#SteveHuffman still stomping his feet and demanding obedience from unpaid workers. https://www.tweaktown.com/news/92256/reddit-issues-final-warning-to-subreddits-posting-nsfw-content-kill-advertising-revenue/index.html #reddit #RedditAPI #RedditNSFW #RedditModeration #FreeAndOpenInternet #spez

I'm kinda scared to ask this, but #infinityforreddit is still working just fine on my phone. Is it supposed to be? When are they pulling the plug?

@mastodonusercount @Curator Steve Huffman and Elon Musk are the best salesmen for Mastodon on the planet! We should give them an award. Well done guys!
@RedditBlackdown@mastodon.social "As the hour gets closer the app will change automatically to no longer being able to browse Reddit, but you'll still be able to open it and customize the home screen app icons with the over 100 incredible icons added over the years.
Pixel Pals migration, wallpapers, merch, and more are also available, as well as the possibility of another fun easter egg revealing itself."
That "fun easter egg" was a crash. Christian, you fucking asshole. #FuckApollo #redditapi
You can still use Apollo with your own API Key, here’s an unofficial tutorial https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14nizkh/use_apollo_with_personal_api_key/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1
(Note that you are limited to 100 api requests per minute with the free tier, that’s more than enough for the average user,tho)
Quelqu'un aurait une instance #lemmy à me proposer.
J'ai bien envie d'essayer.
Zur Information, dieser Bot wird trotz der neuen #RedditAPI Änderungen wie gewohnt weiterlaufen, da er die kostenlosen Limits nicht übersteigt.
To all the many Reddit apps that will stop working today, I salute you. It's been an honour.
I will now look for an alternative to Reddit.

I wish I had the skill to make a cover.
Goodbye Boost for Reddit. 
May you hopefully become boost for Lemmy.
