That’s sort of skirting around the rules and I won’t be surprised if Reddit simply starts requiring manual approval for API usage which will kill this workaround.
- tylermenezes 3y agoThey already do require manual approval. You have to submit a support ticket before generated tokens will work.
- busymom0 3y agoThat’s only for “production” apps. You can do the development and testing without approval and based on my past experience, for a single user, that’s sufficient as I don’t remember being throttled during my testing. For individual user, I think the limit is fairly high before which they throttle.
- hedora 3y agoShutting it down from Reddit’s end won’t work here. Reddit open sourced their server code a while back, and this would allow people to point now-banned reddit clients at third party servers running an open source reddit fork from 2017. The main change from then, according to TFA, is the new UI, but you still get the equivalent of old.reddit.com if you move your subreddit to this (and your members would then be able to use third party clients, assuming this proposal succeeds).
