There once was a client named Slide Whose API Reddit did decide To shut down, alas, Now it's a sad class Of users who must find a new ride.

You were my favorite Reddit client, Slide. I'm gonna miss you.

Could we not change the internal API key so that we're able to recompile the app ourselves with our own API access ? We could even imagine it being an app setting, to avoid recompiling the app

Theoretically, maybe. I've seen some comments about people doing something like that for Sync for Reddit, but there'd have to be dev interest in it, since Slide was abandoned. Currently, only active forks I see is one from somebody trying to port Slide over to Lemmy.

Opened #3485 based on https://www.reddit.com/r/slideforreddit/comments/14nm1ko/how_to_rebuild_slide_for_android_with_your_own/

See https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/pull/3309 for someone's code to add a new config setting (and use it) which could be used as a model for configurable token/redirect_uri.

I ran through the steps and have a working build so I can vouch for the instructions :-)
