Apollo-CustomApiCredentials VS fediverser

Apollo still works perfectly if you sideload it: https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14nzii3/how_to_c...

Artemis customizes the User Agent, doesn’t it? Or am I mistaken? I could swear that I read something you posted somewhere talking about Artemis regarding the user agent. If so, does it use the official Reddit app as the user agent, or perhaps Mobile Safari? I’m not entirely sure what it should appear as to be safe, but perhaps either a chosen (in settings?) or randomized web browser user agent seems like it would work. According to this on GitHub, “anyone trying to get the app running on their device with their own API key should also modify the redirect URL, and user agent being sent to Reddit”.

We have at least three working options to use Apollo nowadays but as pointed out here, besides CustomAPI for reddit and Imgur we should also: change redirect URL and user agent to prevent Reddit from just block every request with the "Apollo" word in it - a new tweak should so:

Using the ipa from here

A number of individuals are already using their private developer API key to use Apollo again. You can find a GitHub repository specifically created for that purpose here.

I'm also thinking about adding twscrape support to my https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser and extend its mirrors to Mastodon servers, but to be honest I can not afford (money- and time-wise) to get into yet-another project without at some minimal financial support.

It has been far from a stalemate. Reddit has won this battle, but the war is not over.

Saying that as someone been dedicating full-time since September to a project to help people migrate from Reddit to Lemmy [0], the truth is that there is simply no alternative yet for all the niche communities that are established there.

About a month ago, I posted here [1] about my project to try to make it easier to sign up and automatically discover/subscribe the Lemmy communities [2], but I wasn't expecting to have such a long tail of communities that need to be mapped out. The ~150 users that signed up to alien.top led to a discovery of about 6000 different subreddits.

I was doing the work of curation and creating alternative communities by hand, but I realized that was going to be an endless task. This is why I started working on a crowdsourced solution [3], which I launched last Friday

I see https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser/issues/9 but I would be much more likely to use it if the oauth2 dance didn't ask for aggressive perms versus a "ask for all the perms then revoke them later"

> reddit redirect will randomly stop working

One of the goals from https://github.com/mushroomlabs/fediverser is to mirror reddit discussions into different Lemmy instances. This coming week I'm planning to work on the part that lets you connect your reddit account to a respective Lemmy instance and migrate your posts. Would you like to try it out?
