Ask HN: What third party Reddit clients still work after July first?
Many crowd favorites stopped working, like Apollo or RiF. I used Slide from the F-Droid store, which stopped working too, so I assumed that this was it for the third party clients for real.
But I was surprised to discover that Dawn (another abandoned reddit client from the F-Droid store) is still working, even if not feature complete. And so does RedReader, which I discovered got exemption from the new API pricing. In the store there's also Diode, which is working, Infinity does too, although it has been updated to reflect on the pricing changes, and so does Stealth. I wonder, how are they not impacted by the API changes? Are they somehow still on the very small free tier? And also, what other clients are out there, that can still be used?
- hocuspocus 3y agoSomehow Boost is still working for me.
- sys42590 3y agoRedReader is still working fine.
- npteljes 3y agoIndeed! They specifically got an exemption from the pricing update. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/145du4j/update_4_redreader_granted_noncommercial/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RedReader/comments/145du4j/update_4...
- npteljes 3y agoInfinity also has a work where you can use your own tokens. I imagine that the free tier is more than enough for casual personal consumption. https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14re0hs/infinity_fork_input_your_own_clientid_useragent/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/14re0h...
- muffa 3y agoRiF is still working for me, I can't login but I can still read. It's pretty annoying tbh, I got a feed that I absolutely don't and I can't comment posts. Other than that, it's still much better experience than the official app(I'm salty af)
- axdsk 3y agoNarwhal is working, maybe the loading of new pages is slower.

- Leftium 3y agoIt might be possible to use a tweaked version of the open-sourced Apollo app: https://mindofjp.medium.com/apollo-is-not-dead-how-to-revive-the-beloved-reddit-client-7b3a2d9f290a#:~:text=valuation%20by%2041%25.-,Reviving%20Apollo,-Christian%20Selig%20made https://mindofjp.medium.com/apollo-is-not-dead-how-to-revive...
