I think we should coordinate/sign this and bring put pressure on Reddit.

It's starting to look like Reddit is dead. Perhaps it's time to start planning a lemmy client?

It's not that bad at the moment. Right now it's about applying enough pressure so that there's change, it seems like Reddit wants third-party clients and bots, they depend on them. We just have to wait for now. I don't think such a low volume client will be affected much. The only thing that affects this one too is the NSFW filtering.

I'm trying to save this app, and if you want to save it as well, please voice your support in this issue: #91

Exposing the API key in the config with a short explanatory message how to create one might be the best solution. This way light users will probably stay in the free tier, while heavy users can decide whether to pay themselves.
