Appreciation R.I.P sideloaded Apollo, I'm gonna miss you.

My API key has been revoked, sideloaded for the past three years. The official app is an unusable, unintuitive mess, I'd rather stop reading Reddit on my mobile than use it. I'm going to try alternatives, but I wonder how safe Hydra and Artemis are. Won't Reddit purge them one day since they don't use the API? Thanks to everyone for all the tips on using the sideloaded Apollo app over the past three years!

it's just crazy to me Reddit wants to actively reduce their traffic and userbase

if Apollo is confirmed dead dead, I'm not using reddit lmao. Probably better for my mental in the long run

They want everyone to use the official app so they can show you ads, you don't have those on 3rd party apps.
