Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Problem is the new restrictions on Reddit API

Describe the solution you'd like
If an user is able to set his own API key in the app, and additionaly if there's in-app logic to avoid user going over the free API limits, this app can still be used by many users and there's no need to shutdown the app

Describe alternatives you've considered

while I am probably not adding a whole lot to the discussion, at this point I personally think that this would just appease Reddit in a way, enabling their "the noise will pass" mentality. I do get where you're coming from, though

Reddit said, they won't accept users inputting their own key. How about going Open Source? I can use Infinity for Reddit after it shuts down because it's Open Source.
