    RedReader has never been monetized. They don’t have servers to support and distribute for free on f-droid and the play store. It’s a small open source project and an influx of users won’t change costs for them. The app acts purely as a reddit client for each user and doesn’t need a go between server. They accept donations through Patreon and you can find the link on their GitHub repo.

    In the case that reddit eventually cuts off their api access too, they’re planning on adding support for Lemmy, HackerNews, Tildes and RSS in a future refactor but that’s probably not any time soon.

    Arch here as well. For me it’s rolling release that’s the selling point. I’ve maintained the same arch install on my desktop for five years with minimal maintenance required. The only reason it’s not ten years is I built a new PC and didn’t carry forward my old root drive. Arch is much less work than is advertised once it’s up and running. No dist upgrades or reinstalls when a new release comes out. Just keep it updated and pay attention to the website in case something requires manual intervention to update.
