'Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable,' Steve Huffman says in defending the move to charge for high-volume API access.

    I don’t believe anything will change, but it’s heartening to see it anyway.

      I’ve had 3 reddit accounts over the entire lifetime of the website. I love Reddit but I won’t stand for their greed. It’s unacceptable.

        I’ve been using it since like, 2013, feels like an end of an era, this site seems really similar, hopefully it has lasting power

          Agreed. It’s been so long but I think that’s exactly why Reddit needs to go under. Like yahoo or any other business that makes mistakes.

          They did specify “work out”, let’s see how this goes in a few months time.

            hardest part is getting used to the differences. But hopefully enough migrate away.

              This one is already really similar to reddit at least, I long for the bar at the top that shows all the communities I’m subbed too, it’s definitely possible the people running this one will make changes too

                It also desperately needs mobile apps. Using the website on mobile leaves a lot to be desired. That is hopefully coming though

                  Of course the nice thing is that anyone can create a fediverse mobile app without restrictions.

                  But apparently, there’s a mobile app ‘coming soon’ - see the bottom of https://kbin.pub
