I used the website stumbleupon.com. I used to waste hours on that site and just shuffle websites within my interests. It was a good way to find new websites to frequent.

Well said

You're right, it would be too late...

But it would have allowed users access to awards and coins and chat features without stepping on the toes of Reddit. It's crazy that they didn't come up with that rather than this.

Users that likely will never see an ad of they only use the 3rd party app

I am really working on making Lemmy work. It's slowly getting there for me...learning curves. I just miss the subreddits I had for my niche hobbies. It really bums me out.

But that is exactly the problem with third party apps ..they don't show ads so they make no add revenue on people using apps like Sync and Apollo or RIF.. The official app does. I understand why they are trying to push people to their app, but the route they took was worst case scenario.

I was thinking more like ...3rd party apps only function when users have an account with premium. Skip the API pricing all together but reddit still makes mo ey since 3PAs dont show reddits ads

Exactly...I think from the start it would have been an understandable approach. They want to make money but understand people like their apps l.

I have really been diving deep into a lot of niche hobbies and Redd** had such a great community for them. I have no problem starting over for the sake of justice, but it is going to take a long time to build them up.
