Not sure how that will affect libreddit or teddit. That’d would prevent me to get some news on specific channels, which when interesting enough, I brought to lemmy, :)
Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems
It’s funny because I just recently created a tiny web app that I run off my own computer which allows me to aggregate the feeds of any subreddit I want along with posts from Lemmy and other Reddit-like forums. Because of this, this change won’t really affect me. While I do occasionally use a third party Reddit app to surf Reddit, I mostly just use my web app and it doesn’t use any Reddit APIs but just scrapes the website directly. Only thing is I’ve heard that they might be getting rid of old Reddit. I currently scrape from old Reddit rather than the new one because the old one has easier HTML objects to identify. Still, it shouldn’t be too hard start scraping the new UI, if I have to.
you might want to get in contact with the folks at libreddit who are concerned anonymous endpoints will be closed - thus killing libreddit and teddit
interesting. It looks like libreddit at least would be squashed.
In that issue they’re saying “hmm I wonder if this would apply to unauthenticated API requests”.
It seems nonsensical to me that it wouldn’t apply to unauthenticated API requests.
according to their matrix room teddit will meet the same fate
