Why are 3rd party apps still working? - eviltoast

Joey for Reddit was my reddit client of choice for several years now. There never was any announcement from the dev regarding the future of Joey.

So there were speculations if he made a deal with reddit and would continue with a subscription tier.

Boost however officially announced they would shut down with the API changes coming.

I just checked and both apps are still going strong.

Shouldn’t they have stopped working on June 30th?

Amy idea what’s going on?

    I’m guessing some app developers didn’t delete their API key like Apollo did but I could be wrong. Not sure why Reddit hasn’t pushed the 429 error out to all apps, only some, though.

      I was getting the 429 error on RIF until I logged out. It works fine besides that. Even posts marked as NSFW are viewable still.
