On: Reddit is experiencing a partial outage

It will suck when they do that, but at least I’ll get whatever time I spend on Reddit back to funnel somewhere else.

As long as the API exists, so can your reddit consumption.

Is there a way to use this on desktop? I’m not sure I care enough about Reddit to worry too much.

Tbh I look forward to the day I can cut that time sink out. I just can’t peel myself away entirely.

Stellar and Comet are popular clients for MacOS. They're both pretty nice, from what I remember.

Legere for Reddit has been recommended by my colleagues that use Windows but I can't vouch for it personally.

If you want to read - sure. Here's an example.

I just use some home cooked python scripts on desktop, but I think there is a gnus.el client somewhere too. On my phone, Red Reader is great. It's on F-droid.org.

I believe they are planning API changes though, with restrictions that make alternative sane apps like Apollo not or barely functional.

But probably not.
