Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

I think they do use the API so no idea how they will handle it, or if they've started working on it with out the API or what their plans are

They don't interact with the site at all so maybe these things will just use screenscrapers.

hmm maybe, we'll see I guess

Wouldn't be surprised if the ReVanced patches swapped out the API keys for Reddit's own, so Reddit's servers just think it's their own app. For now that approach may be viable, but Reddit will undoubtedly be working on checks to prevent this.
