I just tried to make a post here that is API related and it didn't show up so I'll ask in the comments here.

To the community of fellow mods, is there a list of bots that we know are going to have functions that are disabled due to the new reddit API restrictions?

I have a few bots that run in my subs and I would like to get a heads up so I can start working on alternatives/work arounds.

The only bot I have seen mentioned that is going to die is the RemindMe bot. Though this isn't mod related it is a disappointing this one is going away.

There *shouldn't* be any bots that are directly affected by the API changes, unless the bot creators are specifically changing something in protest. If something is effected by the API change you should be able to work with the Admins to get it to work.

To be completely clear: We are not, and will not, be intentionally disabling functionality on mod bots. If we accidentally break one, please let us know, and we will fix it. More context here: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/141oqn8/api_updates_questions/

I don't see how any bots are gonna die. They mentioned that most bots should fit under the free plan. But that they could ask for an exception and it would be granted.
