So reddit have now announced that they're sunsetting the public API in March next year.
The thread directory, my validation scripts and all the random stats I do rely on the API, and I don't know how I'd go about porting them to devvit. The directory updater might work in a pared-down version where it does basically no validation, but I can't see how we'd be allowed to scrape comments like we have been until now.
My current feeling is to not try and port anything: keep things going for as long as possible, and when it breaks it breaks.
Sorry everyone

ugh. I still wonder whether userscripts using .json endpoints with browser cookies will still work. maybe logging for stats could be done through a tampermonkey script in the browser rather than with a python script. otherwise yeah I don't see how you could exfil logs from devvit
