It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app's high level of usage within the blind community.

I still have concerns about Reddit's current trajectory, and plan to expand the range of sites RedReader is able to access in future.

Over the last week I've been in touch with the developers of Lemmy, who indicated that they would prefer a slow ramp up of traffic rather than a sudden influx. Similarly, the major Lemmy instances are struggling under the sheer number of Reddit refugees right now.

We will continue to prioritize accessibility in the app, while also continuing to serve the userbase as a whole.
"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of “open forum protocol” which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."
Really hoping Sync and other apps make the same move, but it seems doubtful. I'm going to miss that app. Lemmy feels much nicer than reddit so far community-wise, but the mobile apps are very much not there yet.
