I also bet there are people who haven't already left that will abandon ship once the TPAs stop working. It's not going to be fun getting stuck with their mediocre app, particularly since they seem to be testing the end of the mobile site.

    This. For a lot of people Reddit isn't reddit.com, it's Apollo or Relay or Sync or Reddit Is Fun.

    After the apps stop working, they won't be able to keep using the thing they're used to. They can't just go back, they'll have to switch to something different.

    I stopped using Twitter when they pulled this API crap, and as a Boost user, I won't use reddit when I can no longer use Boost.

    Currently using Jerboa for beehaw and I'm liking it so far, and the dev seems really responsive to user requests. Excited for the communities to get some traction moving forward!

    not toot my own horn, but the 3d party app community for lemmy is quite active right about now... wink-wink

    the community has risen to meet demand, and it's a very exciting time right now!
