Reddit plans to charge for API access later this year, and this could mean the end of all free third-party Reddit apps and several paid apps.

    I signed up a few days before reddit made the announcement lol to just check lemmy out since I’ve been hearing about it for a while. I had no idea reddit would do this then. I just figured out how to connect to different instances and this is my first comment in a different instance from the one I signed up :D

        It’s like servers just like the other used said. Each of them has their own guidelines and stuff from what I can tell. Nobody can make a sudden decision for all of the instances like reddit made about restricting their api I think but we can still interact with most instances.
