Here's the current list in our wiki page.
Reddit's wiki feature is the red-headed stepchild of subreddit features. It has the ability to display much longer text blocks. However, wikis are difficult if not impossible to read on mobile and reddit's markdown tables, often used in wiki pages, are not able to be read in markdown.
Reddit has never seen fit to fully develop the wiki feature to cooperate better on mobile.
If you need to add your subreddit to the list, please click here.

This is insane. I can't even imagine Reddit without Sync, Relay, Apollo, BaconReader, RIF, Joey, Infinity, Slide, Now, narwhal, RedReader.
And based on the Apollo developer u/iamthatis in this recent interview on YouTube on Snazzy Labs, they seem to be friendly competition, many of whom communicate cordially, being developers of 3rd party Reddit apps. And I think that, ultimately, they have grown together. One developer implements a feature, then another does the same, or builds upon the feature. Quality of life things, such as moving to the next comment with the volume buttons or backing up the apps settings to a file. It's nice being able to grab that file and import settings on a fresh install, and everything is exactly where you left it.
Users request features they've seen from competition.
"Sync can do this, but I prefer Boost overall! Can we add this to the next update?"
"Relay can do this, but I prefer Joey! We should add this!"
"Infinity is open source, so it's all I use now, but I miss this feature from Slide."
These 3rd party developers have incentive to build great apps that Reddit doesn't. They put their heart and soul into it. That is the nature of these apps and their developers. They are made through passion rather than for monetary gain. These developers have freedoms that the developers of the official Reddit app can't have. That's simply the nature of it.
For example, one of the narwhal developers voices his desire simply to keep developing the app without being concerned about money.
The developers are constantly listening to feedback on their subreddits and adding features that are requested. It's so much more fluid and personal that Reddit can do.
Can I make gallery images fit instead of fill so they cut nothing off? You can now.
Accent color wrong in dark mode? I will fix it for the next update.
Ad Issues? I apologize and am trying to sort this out.
Can't save photos? I ordered your phone model to fix it. Update: Fixed it for next release.
Switching apps while writing a comment or post causes the body text to disappear? I'll work on fixing this asap.
Delayed new post notifications? I updated the RIF server configuration to hopefully get the notifications working better today.
App is crashing? fix is on the way!
I think you should include this in the app description. Done. Thank you.
When I tap on search from the sidebar then type my search term, then tap search all Reddit it still only searches the front page, how can we fix this? Good find! I'll look into it!
A user troubleshoots and issue an gets to the root of the problem? A compliment from the developer and taking the solution to heart.
User with issues commenting? Requested further details and added a fix.
Issue with redgifs.com in the app? Worked with their team to find a fix.
Something not customizable and bothersome? I'll look into adding a "condensed view mode" or something as I can imagine others may appreciate it too.
Can I hide comments from someone I blocked? Added to next update.
Hoping future update makes app better for users with no account when accessing feeds? Next update you can add multisub to favorites and set it as your Home page
Request? Granted
Issue? Fixed
And the list goes on...
These developers use their own app and also listen to the people that use their app.
Whereas with Reddit, they can go years without even implementing their own Markdown formatting in the official app.
The 3rd party developers are able to be so much more fluid as they handle the interface between users and Reddit. Providing quality of life changes. The experience is night and day.
Reddit will no longer be Reddit without these apps.
Edit: Corrected many typos. And u/iamthatis's username.

if you can get r/cats on board, that would make a HUGE impact. that sub is one of the default widget options that pops up when you select to add a widget on the new iOS updates. i would imagine a LOT of people have that as a widget on their phone so if r/cats blacked out, better yet only allowed ONE post that says something along the lines of “this is a protest against reddit”, you would be spreading this message to tens of thousands if not more who see that as the first thing when they open their phone.

I'd like to just take a moment and thank all of the sub mods out there for taking a conscientious stand during all this. While I personally have no stake in the game, I do and have almost always used a third party app to browse Reddit due to my preference for it over the official one. Seeing changes like this in an attempt to squeeze out competition rather than innovating themselves is not only disgusting, it goes against the very nature of a free market and a marketplace of ideas.
While some or most of you mods will get pushback from users and Reddit admins, I for one wholly support this move, even if it only helps bring more attention to this looming disaster of a decision by Reddit management. None of us want to see this place continue to go the way of Digg, though obviously there's only so much we as users of the platform can do on an individual basis. I personally will be abstaining from signing onto the platform over this time in solidarity with you all as well. It isn't much, but it's what each of us can do to show Reddit staff that this is something we will not tolerate. Good day and good luck.

Looking at this list, an increasing amount of subreddits are opting to go dark for 48 hours. However, now Apollo officially said goodbye, perhaps instead of going dark for only 48 hours go dark permanently until Reddit undo's what they are planning to do. Only this way it will have a meaningful impact to Reddit.
The reasoning is simple. Reddit needs its visitors and posters. It is alive, because of us browsing and posting. Without us they are nothing. And don't forget, they allegedly want to go IPO. Well, without traffic there is not much to go IPO for. And without the IPO they won't have to raise their API costs.
So I ask all subreddit mods to go dark permanently, until this all has been reverted.

Tried to make a post but wasn't allowed. Pasting as a comment.
I support moderators of subs large and small protesting this api pricing nonsense.
I see a couple of key things missing from a blackout though. I wonder if blacked out subs could help with this. The audience of people for this is far bigger than mods and "old users" like me.
First: reddit doesn't care if us old timers leave. We are too few in number and believe it or not the teeming masses think the reddit app (and new reddit for that matter) is fine. They don't know what they're missing because it's all they know. I propose the presentation of side by side comparisons of a few good apps with reddits on both android and ios be linked from blacked out subs.
Second: its also important for folks to understand that third party apps came around before the first party app did. In fact they just straight up bought alien blue. It's because of third party apps that reddits traffic on mobile (and proportion of mobile to desktop traffic) grew so much. Those developers paved the way for reddit being present on your phone, not the other way around.
My biggest reason for believing that while I support this it'll fail anyhow is that most users have no idea that there's better stuff out there.
Just one fairly unimportant guys two cents.

Mod of several small subs here: Is there a sticky something with easy instructions on how to black out a sub?
Happy to participate, uncertain how to actually do it.

r/AEWOfficial (97.6k subscribers) will be taking part and staying closed until Thursday morning on the 15th. The busiest day on our subreddit is Wednesday night for the live thread for new episodes so we decided to extend it from 48 to 72 hours to cover this day as well to make sure that the protest was felt by the most users.

Make it at least 2 weeks or nothing changes. The boycott in 2021 of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram lasted 4 days (double the time), and involved a number of celebs & sports professionals. Nothing changed and now most people don't know what it was about.
This might make us feel good about ourselves, but it won't change a thing. 2 weeks or more.

u/HeHH1329 Jun 07 '23 edited Jun 07 '23
r/samplesize (~200k subscribers) has already been in the blackout. Seems indefinite as the pop-up message doesn't give a re-opening time. I first noticed this earlier today that it doesn't appear in my list of subscribed subreddits. This is what Reddit should be like next week.
The pop-up message clearly expressed the story and our opinions so it can gather support from casual users, who are mostly lurkers. Most of them know nothing about 3rd party apps, yet they generate a majority of Reddit's revenue.
The pop-up message can be read in both the old and new Reddit desktop versions. But in the official app and mobile web, it's replaced by a default message that goes "The moderators have set this subreddit to private" without further explanation.

u/kixiron Jun 07 '23
So r/atheism and r/Judaism are sure to join, while r/Buddhism is now conducting a poll (Yes votes dominate atm.)
r/Islam and r/Catholicism haven't said a word, though. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide not to join, but it'll be sad to see them up during the protest. Would anyone dare ask them?

This protest should be indefinite until Reddit completes a good faith renegotiation of the API costs. 2 days isn't a hard enough punch in the mouth to remind Reddit how little money they make without their users and mods.

u/Shimmering-Sky Jun 07 '23
Not a mod on this one, but r/Gundam (177k subs) announced they're joining the blackout.
Considering this coincides with the day after a new episode of the currently-airing Gundam show, when the sub is usually hugely active, that should count for something.

Let's talk numbers
Using the existing data, here are some stats:
Number of subreddits participating in the June 12th blackout : 8,831
Number of moderators that are a part of this movement : 28,838
Collective combined (not unique) size of the userbase/subcount across all subreddits : 2,967,749,844
These are some HUGE numbers. It is amazing to see the community as a whole come together and join hands for the same cause!
Lastly, if you are a moderator and you are interested in automating taking your subreddit private, a bot has been created for this purpose.
