Official Reddit app now doesn't even make it into the Austrian "Top 200 for 0€ Social" Google Play Store category anymore...
It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended... "Infinity" is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200...
To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype...

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload...
Fuck you Reddit and Steve Huffman....good riddance.
I don't understand why they don't just improve their app. Half the outrage wouldn't have happened if they'd just improved the app before doing the api thing, like adding accessibility functions. Even if they'd kept the ad issues, they still would have experienced way less backlash, and it's not like they don't have the resources.
They don't want to improve it. The app did exactly what Reddit wants...to service its users with the most amount of ads possible. Third party apps don't do that, which is why they wanted them killed off.
That's a weird way to put it. In Canada, the category is called "top free".
Maybe it's to clarify that you still pay for those apps, but not with money.
In my country we call it "maximum data surrender".
I just checked the playstore from the US. Same thing, not on the top 200 at all. Relay for Reddit is at 141. Fucking Truth Social is at 16. Reddit is still an editors choice app though.
Editor might wanna try another career field
Ah, Truth Social isn't really a thing outside the US afaik. Wikipedia says you need an US-American or British phone number to register (not that I wanted to do anyways)
Lovoo still exists?! Isn't their CEO in prison due to them creating fake accounts of women in order to squeeze money out of naive men?
I've never heard of it before
I guess it depends on where you come from. I used this app ~15 years ago when I was in my teens. 😅

Fedilab is #1 in the "Top Paid" category! (US)
Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.
Same here in Austria. Infinity+ is second place (Does the paid version still work?)
Who'd have thought that arbitrary despotism had consequences?
Apparently not this guy:
sadly Twitter is still there.. :/
Imo one of the reasons why the protest on Reddit has worked so well in comparison to X is because of the way content is presented. Whilst X didn't really care about people leaving/protesting, Reddit was extremely affected by the blackout (even if Huff played it down) because the content that was left was trash and people were forced to move or boycott it at least)... There's just no comparable force to the subreddits on X that could affect everyone's timeline so much that they would be forced to stay off it.
That being said, there are lots of more reasons for why X hasn't died (yet)
Funny, since my Infinity still works somehow. No clue why, but maybe that's why it's on the list.
Yup, the API is still free if you don't use it commercially if I'm informed correctly (commercially includes app subscriptions, ads and asking for donations)
Try visiting an NSFW sub tho
"removed by moderator for violating Reddit's content policy" I've been using Reddit for years, but recently it's kinda annoying...
I haven't been on there since the first blackout
Basiert
Es ist nicht viel, aber es ist ehrliche Arbeit
I dont see it in top free/top free grossing/top free social east coast US.
Only in top grossing social.
Meanwhile in France
What's Plato?
"Group games and chats" it says (my french is bad) but I've never heard of it. Is it french only?
Edit: at least I think "Chats" means chats and not cats xD
