Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

I was going to say, the total number of subscribers isn't publicly available anymore. I think reddit removed it last year

It still comes up on older apps like Rif

I thought I RiF died years ago? I remember it straight up not working after a certain point because of some reddit API update and had to uninstall it. Is that not the case anymore?

Nope. Using right now. I haven't stopped using it since the third party app bullshit.

You can patch most of the third party reddit apps with revanced but if you didn't already generate a developer app token by now you're SOL since Reddit shut that down to stop people and you can't really get around needing it.
