It was excluded from the exodus due to it catering towards disabled people. It also it shows no add but you have to agree to reddits terms and use before using it . I my self am done with reddit and been like that for a long time but if anyone wants to lurk or use reddit i will reccomend this app with a vpn you trust.
I'm not interested in using Reddit again either, but I'm interested in how Redreader still works after the API pricing changes. Any idea? Maybe it spoofs requests from the Reddit web client rather than going through the Reddit API?
Edit: Ah. Yup. Apparently I can't read. Sorry about that and thanks to responders.
Redreader got free access to the api, as it is the app that most people with disabilities use.
RedReader was designed for screen readers. Since it was built primarily as an accessability tool the developer contacted the admins and was given an exemption to their pricing rules.

That's what I use as a search results redirect. It works quite well for that.

@ONRYO I use #redreader and I love it. But the issue is that the contents that are 18+ or nsfw etc etc can be seen only if we use the official #reddit app. It can be news or any other needed post but no way to get it.
I use Boost for Reddit (which is removed from google play), I created own private sub, now I am a mod of this sub, and being a mod means I see any content, even 18+, using any Reddit client.
Yeah i haven't used it much to notice that
Have you tried Geddit?
Don't abuse software that's useful for the disabled: if enough non-disabled users use the software to bypass Reddit's idiotic rules, they may just decide to kill it, and the losers will be the disabled community.
Do NOT install Redreader unless you need it!

This is absolute nonsense. If you're non-disabled (which is not even a thing), how would anyone know and use that to shut down redreader?
Also, redreader is NOT specifically for disabled people (again, not a thing). It just happens to have features which are useful for people with certain impairments. That is enough to be considered "non-commercial, accessibility focused" enough for access to the API.
In short, use it if you want. Also read up on the social model of disability and the kerb cut effect.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen somebody get offended by the word "disabled".
All I'm saying is, if enough people post on Lemmy or elsewhere "Install this software! It's exempt from paying to access the Reddit API so it still works!", at some point Reddit will take notice, throw a fit and shut it down. And the losers will be blind people.
Whether you reckon this application should be accessible to everybody or not, and who you think qualifies as disabled is totally irrelevant. What's important here is, Reddit, in its very limited wisdom, has "generously" allowed a good app to exist for free because it allows the blind to access their site. Don't make them think it's being abused by people who aren't blind, is all.
I didn't but i just wanted to inform people in case anyone on this sub is disabled or just want a quick peek at reddit without going through a lot of shit and it isn't an app for disabled per se . Even they don't exclusively say it and the devs are happy to see people using their app disabled or not last i checked . So yeah it just has some features for the disabled and if you use it or not spez will shut it down at some point.
