[–]linuxares 9 points10 points11 points 12 days ago (19 children)<br>First of all, update to atleast 8.2.5.8

Then fully logout and force close the app if need be.

Then login and accept Red Reader access to your reddit account.

Reddit have deleted all custom API which was free before.

[–]linuxares 0 points1 point2 points 10 days ago (0 children)<br>You can pay for a premium on some other apps I guess? Or use the original app. Else no sorry, its the only free API currently. I'm afraid Reddit might pull it however. Thankfully its not that many people using third party clients I think for Reddit to pull it.

[–]giwidouggie -1 points0 points1 point 12 days ago (11 children)<br>what is RedReader, and how does it relate to Continuum?

So the era of free, third party reddit apps is now officially over? without free API keys, seems that way, no?

[–]outerzenith 6 points7 points8 points 12 days ago (9 children)<br>RedReader is the only "officially allowed" third party reddit client that is still free

the workaround here is that you use RedReader's API key into Continuum

[–]Choppedcity 3 points4 points5 points 12 days ago (1 child)<br>So we can still use Continuum as long as RedReader API Key is still free... Then we're f*cked?

permalink<br>embed<br>save<br>parent<br>report<br>reply

[–]outerzenith 3 points4 points5 points 11 days ago (0 children)<br>Yes, for now Continuum need to be spoofed as RedReader to work

if reddit revokes even RedReader's access, then we'll be shit out of luck.
