I was wondering how they were still up. Not surprised they were shut down unceremoniously.
The same will happen with Relay for Reddit soon too. DBrady is still holding open the app, paying the costs for it, so that he can release a subscription model. I love Relay, but I (and I imagine others) won't pay a subscription for a stripped down version where majority of the $$$ goes to Reddit and not the developer... If he had an option to pay him directly I would consider it though.
I'm still using Relay because on its best day Kbin/lemmy still doesn't have the content, but, when it stops working completely, I'm done with reddit.
Honestly, less content is better, in my case. 30 minutes and I'm done with all the memes and ready to go on with my life. It's nice to live without hours of pointless doom scrolling for a change.
This is the exact the same as me - only still peruse Reddit because Relay is still kicking on, although I am 80 / 20 Lemmy to Reddit these days so I won't miss anything when Relay is completely dead.
