Relay for Reddit could cost between $1 and $5 per month.

      Agreed. This place ain’t 100% the same but it’s been a fine replacement and it will get better over time.

    Relay is an amazing app. Very smooth. And this is a good solution for his app to survive.

    But besides the fact that almost all of the money will be going to Reddit. Everything you do on the app makes calls to the API, including voting. And each vote is equal to one call, just as much getting a batch of comments for a post, or getting a batch of posts.

    So the best way to keep your API calls low is to not vote on any post or comment.

    Maybe the dev will optimize this somehow by maybe batching votes and sending them at a later date, but you can see how the current situation, made possible by reddit, will decrease engagement.

      i love the app, and u/DBrady has made a great thing. but i can’t support that place any longer. this doesn’t have the active communities i desire, and that place fucking sucks my heart out of my chest. I’m pretty jaded right now…

    I used to spend a lot of time on reddit. Now since middle of june i have spent like 10 minutes total their and came streight back here. Lemmy has totally replaced my reddit usage slot and i am really happy about that. Also, shout out to the fantastic Thunder devs as i really love this app.
