User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.

      You should access Reddit only via a mirror as you wouldn’t want to contribute there anyway.

      You should use Teddit, I’m using it as a mirror to wrangle in RSS feeds of sub’s. That way Reddit doesn’t get your traffic directly

    It’s going to dip again when third party apps are shut off. Personally I’m still browsing Reddit to check in on the drama on /r/ModCoord

      dunno, but third party usage were never that high IIRC. that’s why them targeting third party apps is a weird decision

        Apollo has 25m downloads, I can’t imagine that the various Android 3rd party apps are any lower than that in total, if not individually.

        Officially they make up a small amount of traffic, but amongst power users who both create and comment significantly is much more commonly done through 3rd party apps.
