I’m finding that I like bits and pieces from the various available frontends, but I haven’t heavily gravitated towards one in particular.

If you have gravitated towards a specific UI, which one and why?

    If you’re the mod of any subreddit, including one you create and set to private from the web interface of reddit, your account is allowed full use of the API even with 3rd party apps.

    Everything mostly works as normal besides a couple bugs from an antiquated app/reddit trying to break things. Single images can’t be posted but multiple at the same time can, something to do with the integration with the image hosts. NSFW and the bulk of the app work like before though.

      So if I create a sub and set it private can I use Relay without paying for a subscription?

        I’ve never used Relay so I couldn’t say for certain but I believe it wouldn’t work in that case. IIRC the Relay app was updated to the subscription model of access like reddit was trying to force on everyone. If that’s the case being a mod won’t change the hardcoded behavior of the updated app.

        This workaround works with Boost without any kind of updating or patching, so if there’s a third party app that did what Boost did (stopped updating but left the app otherwise intact) there’s probably a fair chance the same process will work. Any of the apps that continued to update or deleted API keys would have a much harder time I’d imagine.
