a megathread for developments on Reddit and with third-party Reddit apps

just so this doesn't overwhelm our front page too much, i think now's a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let's try to keep what's happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

• Apollo for Reddit is shutting down
• Reddit is Fun will also shut down
• Reddit CEO (/u/spez) is going to hold a AMA about the API update
• Sync has announced it is shutting down
• ReddPlanet has announced it is shutting down
• Reddit creates an API exemption for noncommercial accessibility apps
• /r/videos is planning to shut down indefinitely, beginning June 11
• A subreddit dedicated to migrating to kbin.social has been closed by Reddit

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

• It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too
