Now For Reddit is going to go to a subscription service. It’s not that popular but it’s the one I like. I’ve not decided yet if I’m going to keep using it and pay for a subscription - it depends on how much per month it costs, for me the lack of NSFW isn’t a deal breaker but Reddit’s slimy behavior recently kind of is.

    I’ll never subscribe, especially after the way we got the shaft

    Don’t pay for it. Every cent will go to Reddit for something that costs them fractions of a cent to do and reinforces that their decision to fuck everyone over was correct. Cold turkey that shit and fuggedaboutit.

      That’s another reason I’m leaning towards not paying for it - I replaced it on my phone’s home screen with Jeroba and the physical habit of going on an app now brings me to Lemmy. I’ve intentionally opened Now for Reddit a few times to see what’s going on with the app or see r/all in chaos post blackout, but it’s always been with intent. And it’s been remarkably easy to swap one habit for another, and I don’t feel like I’m missing much, so why go back?

      I have considered swapping Jeroba for my library’s e-book app though… :/

    Even though they might go the subscription route … it will not bode well… first of all there is no nfsw content through the api and secondly looking at the behaviour of Reddit it will not be very long before Reddit finds another way to shut them down

    I’m honestly just over reddit. Even if all the apps came back for free I’d probably try sticking with lemmy. Not a fan of a company that clearly doesn’t give a shit about their userbase. Good for the third party devs who are making it work with subscriptions but I’m not willing to pay a subscription to go straight into reddit’s pocket.
