according to their matrix room teddit will meet the same fate
@Elara@lemmygrad.ml this may have implications for the TankieReplyBot.
TankieReplyBot doesn't run on Reddit, it's Lemmy only. This won't affect it.
Wouldn't the API changes for reddit cause some of the privacy frontends it links to (like libreddit and teddit) to no longer work though?
Oh, that's what you meant. Yeah, that could be an issue, but I imagine at least some hosts will pay for the API if it affects them, depending on how much it costs. Hopefully they can continue to work. If not, it might be time to do some web scraping and get around the API.
