Not entirely. I tried to leave when they enforced the initial API changes, but there’s just not enough content on Lemmy to satisfy me. I ended up finding Relay for Reddit which uses the API and costs me a couple dollars a month. I still won’t contribute to Reddit anymore (no voting, posting, or commenting), but it was a great way to get content from my long curated lost of subreddits. Now I won’t be able to use the Relay app anymore. I’m never using the Reddit app, so that leaves browsing on mobile using Firefox with uBlock Origin and Reddit Bouncer to cut through all the shit. I’m not sure I’ll actually browse that way, but I didn’t think I’d go back at all after the initial API changes either.
not really. Anyone who relied on the API has already left
It’s not just the API (and rss) that is getting axed, automoderator and old reddit have also officially moved to the chopping block.
