The generic Reddit alternatives like Voat, Saidit, Ruqqus, etc. haven't done too well, but there have been some successes when individual subreddits, or groups of subreddits, have migrated to their own sites and taken much of the userbase with them.

Perhaps that is the better way forward than the aggregated approach of Reddit, going back to the old-school approach of separate forums with their own websites.

Reddit is one of the most-used pornography sites on the internet, mostly because it's mixed in with a much larger amount of non-pornographic content so can't be filtered by the usual domain-blocking tools. Children are certainly accessing porn via both the website and apps that use the Reddit API.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first step towards removing all the pornography off Reddit entirely, for good reason as much of it is very extreme and not something children should be looking at at all really. And even more of it is degrading to women, depicting them just as holes to fuck. It was worse in the past too, with so-called "jailbait" subreddits and pornographic images of dead women, which were only removed after a considerable amount of pressure on the admins. Really makes one wonder what their priorities are.

I wonder why didn't Apollo just have each user register a new OAuth app at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps, the details of which would then be used per-user. It could even be done automatically upon entering one's credentials into the Apollo app. Wouldn't this have solved the problem?
