Apollo (modded) to have Pro features?
Though it’s open source you can compile the iPA yourself https://github.com/awkward/beam It’s super smooth and no restrictions, no ads.

Congrats reddit. The state of the app is making me go a non official one.
Beam: https://github.com/awkward/beam Very elegant, open source client for iOS. Probably one of the most polished alternatives i've used, highly recommended. Requires build from source, as it has been discontinued.

Lemmy (a federated reddit alternative) Release v0.15.1: Private instances, New User Registrations, Email Verification, and Temporary Bans. 🎉

How to rebuild Slide for Android with your own API key
Thank you kind stranger! I opened https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/issues/3485 with slightly different instructions (shaved off a couple of steps). For example Step 1 can be skipped by doing clone from repo in step 4.

Boost will stop working after July 1st. Thank you very much for your support over the years! 🚀🚀🚀
TIL that Slide is also open source: https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

I didn't actually hear that they were doing API changes? I use Slide, so I guess for me one day in the future Reddit will just stop working.

r/Broadway will go dark on June 12th for 48 hours in light of the recent Reddit API changes
Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.

Call for proposal submissions
Which would be good open source 3rd party apps to test with? I found a couple of mobile apps, like https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit and https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

If Reddit kills RIF, please open source RIF
FYI, Infinity and Slide are solid reddit apps and both open-source. I still prefer RIF, but in case your wish doesn't come true there are already at least two pretty good options.

Reddit third party app discussion
I used to use Slide. Switched to Infinity after seeing it promoted on F-Droid. Both are great (with a preference for Infinity) and I will stop using reddit on mobile because I refuse to use their mobile app.
