Im still using my custom app patched with my own API key. But it’s slowly not becoming worth it with most of the smaller subs I follow only having 1 or 2 posts in the last week. Opposed to the 2 or 3 posts per day.
You can actually decompile any android app into smali code which is kind of a readable bytecode. Create an OAuth app on reddit and replace the developer’s API key with your own. Free reddit app with no ads.
They also haven’t actually kicked off third party clients for mods. If you moderate any sub (even just create a private sub now) and the client didn’t purposely kill their own API key (Apollo and RIF did I believe) it will still work even without the patch.
It’s getting pretty bad though. With most people who were truly pro-protest gone, average sentiment is “oh well protest failed let’s get back to normal”. I was pretty heavily downvoted in the Ask Historians meta thread about next steps for suggesting the mods/experts were fairly irreplaceable and they should look to move content off of reddit to their own site.

Dude, tell me more about your custom app.
Take this as an opportunity to talk as much as you want about it. That sounds fascinating.

Request your own API key from Reddit stating you’re an app developer, then use revanced manager to inject that key into any custom Reddit app.
Are you having to pay for those API calls?
Unless they changed their minds, personal use isn’t going to hit the requests per minute required to trigger needing to pay.
there is i think a personal key that stays on a one user basis within the free limit. From my knowledge reddit claims it as illegal but it still works
Why would it be illegal? That’s literally what the key is made for: to make API requests from the app you wrote.
If anybody could deny you from doing that, it’s the author of the app that you patched and I’m pretty sure, they don’t give a shit anymore.

no… rif does not work for me anymore since july 5…
I think they were saying that RIF and Apollo nuked their own API keys, so they specifically will never work
There’s a way to patch Apollo with your own API key to make it work. A single user shouldn’t exceed their free rate limit.
