      It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it.

          https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo

          You’ll have to install AltStore (or Sideloady) on your computer + phone to resign the app each week (this can happen automatically if they’re on the same wifi network). You can make your own personal API key at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps/ (It’s limited to 100 requests per 10 mins, which you wont run into browsing by yourself). Also as long as you moderate a subreddit (I think even if it’s just an empty one you make), NSFW content wont be blocked on the API.

          Also while you’re sideloading, I’d highly recommend uYouPlus for a better youtube app

            Thanks I’ll dig into this. I already have uYouPlus and Ignited (Delta emulated but better). But I may try to get Apollo instead of YouTube which I barely use.

                I haven’t been on Reddit since the api lockout. But there are some communities that have not moved over and I want access to them. I realized that the private api would still generate traffic for them but if through Apollo they won’t get my ads revenue at least. But yeah fuck Reddit.

                  I end up on Reddit from Google search, and they limit the comment depth to 1 reply on the web, which makes it fucking awful to use.

                  It is the antithesis of what Reddit used to be and what gained Reddit market share.

                  On the topic of generating traffic: I use a little app off of github called geddit. It essentially uses the RSS feed reddit has and skins it into an app. It’s pretty bare on features since you can’t log in, but you can have a personalized front page. And no ads as well. And nsfw posts/subs aren’t blocked.

                  That’s my compromise for accessing niche communities without giving reddit traffic.

                  Edit: It’s an android app. Not really an option if you have an iPhone I guess

            Omg I’ve been looking for a better YouTube app for iOS thank you!! I have an Apple Developer account but I haven’t paid the yearly fee in a while so my powers are limited with it
