I got the "shutting down" message and I was signed out of all of my accounts. But the front page, posts, and comments are all still loading just fine.

It’s loading that content in a different way than it loads content when you’re logged in. The logged-in-way got blocked, but the logged-out-way didn’t.

I see, that kinda makes sense.

Why are you still holding on to rif ? The dev said it was dead!

I just haven't deleted the app for nostalgias' sake or something. I accidentally opened it out of habit the other day and it loaded a page before I backed out of it

I've seen reports of the same for various 3.party apps. I think that Reddit is unable to control which apps have API access and which don't.

I wonder if Reddit temporarily crashed their API on July 1st, just to make it appear as if the apps didn't work.

No it's the opposite most likely. Typical update procedure for anything of value is to perform a gradual roll out. You want to make sure that if any bugs are present in your major changes you aren't destroying your entire user base at once. You will still see some clients functioning for a few weeks until everyone is finally on the latest version.

Reddit not playing 4D chess and trying to get in your head with conspiracy theories. It's just standard software update procedure.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
