Voyager is nice but I still miss Apollo. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lefty7283@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Wait… what?

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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thanks I’ll dig into this.

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.
