I did, but they weren't a fan of the paid model for interaction: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/147qzfb...

I swear, the current protests have shined a very odd light on the average commenting Redditor, they want

* The website to be free

* The API to be cheap

* The ability to use a 3rd party app that does not track, advertise, or monetize you in any way

* VCs to continue to pour hundreds of millions of dollars to run the site and never ask for an ROI

Good luck kids

The 3rd party app issue, and most of the API problem consequently, wouldn't be such a big issue if they didn't take forever to release the official app, only to put out an awful one when they finally did. You don't see many people using 3rd party apps for other social media.

You think Facebook would let a large percentage of users use a 3rd party app that blocks all advertisements, tracking, and other monetization? Look at how Meta treated the whole Apple tracking ordeal

If a lone dev would have made an app like Apollo for FB, they would be under 10,000 pages of litigation the next day

People don't use the FB app because its great. They would love a non-tracking version of the same service. It's just not allowed
