Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit?

A lot of that functionality no longer works after the API changes. Even in the GitHub of some of those, they mention since basic features won’t work, e.g. private messages.

Because developers aren’t willing to pay the new API fees, not because of technical limitations. So that doesn’t take away at all from the fact that 3rd party frontends for reddit exist.

Right … something is wrong with me. Not the people argue oversomething that is objectivly true and can be verified in less then 15 seconds.
And I honestly don’t get why. Are you people so upset about reddit you’d rather deny reality just so you can claim some feature over reddit? How fucking pathetic is that?

That’s not entirely true. Some of the previously available API hooks literally cannot be used by third parties anymore, even if you pay. Just go look at the reddit developer posts discussing it.

But also not really relevant to the initial point. Not being able to watch porn from reddit via 3rd party apps is quite different statement than there being no 3rd party apps.

Do you really expect the developers of those free and open source apps to pay for you using their app?

No.

I think you’re just being needlessly pedantic here
