Wait, why? Is this a workaround to having the apps working after the end of the month or what?
Anyway now that Sync for Lemmy is going to be a thing I don't think I'd use that kind of workaround... Only to give a glance at the communities that I want here ofc.
That's going to be Sync for Lemmy??
That would awesome. I was a Sync for Reddit user and it was probably the best app I've ever used from a user experience point of view.
I think Boost for Lemmy too?
Source?

Lets hope sync can make Lemmy actually easy to use. You'd imagine that stuff like linking another community should be one of the core features of something like this, but sadly it's not currently working.
Do you mean like this?
I just linked to these by typing "!piracy" and selecting them from the drop-down list that appeared. They should automatically link to the communities via feddit.de for you, even though I'm on lemmy.world. Maybe it's new.
You can also get your personal free API key, insert that in Infinity and compile it yourself. Even Infinity's dev who plans to make a paid version for the Play Store has given advice on how to do that on the Infinity sub.
I bet it won't be long until someone makes that configurable in Infinity itself.
You can also use Redreader. It's been my main way of accessing reddit for years and it's actually the only app (that I know of) with the API exception for being accessibility focused and non-monetized. It's FOSS and has been ad free forever, although I fear reddit will make them start serving reddit's ads on the first.
I instead propose Stealth which will use web scraper and front ends.
Better to not use any accounts with reddit and be a masterful useless lurker.
Personally, I'm working on a script to scrape certain subs every few days and display them in a page I'm self-hosting. Who needs their API? All I really care about over there anymore is tech related info I need for my job.
There's even a bot that retrieves stuff to lemmy
I have created some software that is capable of synchronising posts from Reddit to Lemmy. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but it works as a such:
People can request new subreddits to be mirrored on !requests@lemmit.online. A bot (open source) will monitor the threads there, and if it finds a new request for a subreddit, it will make a new community on the Lemmit server, and add it to its monitored list. It will then make periodic checks to see if any new posts (it doesn’t copy any comments) have been posted on reddit, and copy those over.
Users can then subscribe to those communities from their own lemmy instance, and from there federation will pick it up. Or at least, that’s the theory. At the moment, federation is not working awesomely, and that is where my lack of fediverse knowledge comes in. Maybe it needs more time, or something is not so properly - I don’t know.
Furthermore: registrations on this server are closed. The point of this service is not to become a community on its own, but to deliver, ehh, “original” content to all the rest of the Fediverse while it’s going through a ramp-up phase. Besides, the instance is running on a pretty small vps, and I rather have this thing manage itself. There is a !about@lemmit.online community for further questions about the project itself though, in case people want to discuss it further.
So ehm… Let me know what you think :)
Nice - yeah, the API is just a convenient way to access the data. The truth is that if a browser can view reddit.com, a script can pull the data and put it somewhere else.
I tested out Stealth's reddit scraper and it works well. It'll probably break from time to time, but that's something I'm used to with Newpipe for youtube. I want to cut down on reddit use anyways.
I LOVE YTREVANCED APP .https://revancedapp.org/
That's not the official website and may contain malware, if anybody is trying to download ReVanced check https://reddthat.com/post/1227197
Thanks! It works perfectly! I just wish I could transfer over my lifetime membership...
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy
