The annoying thing about the app was that it copied Facebook and constantly spammed my feed with subreddits I was not subscribed to. I used an alternative app for a while and that worked ok. It is so annoying when Facebook and the like constantly force you to follow pages and groups you are not interested in.
on one of the wierdly on one of the firefox forks, it keeps reloading the page making you go back to the top every single time if you backspace, it so bad i had to use the firefox browser again so it wont reload the whole page which forces you to the top of the reddit feed, whicch coincidentally also refreshes and keep showing you different subs.
Thank fuck I said goodbye to that place. A shame to see such a fantastic online community be murdered by capitalists try to squeeze money out of it, but probably inevitable.
Same here. I only browse it every now and then to get away from the hyper politics on Lemmy (either extremes are not good for the psyche).
But the quality on reddit is staggeringly low.
The comments don’t have the vibe like on lemmy.
I wouldnt call it “hollow” but it’s close or adjacent to it. Maybe superficial?
Too bad the non-political/non-technical communities are kinda dead here :/
I browsed a few minutes, seems to work fine in Firefox.
I’ve never used the mobile site but old.reddit.com works.
None of this would be a issue if the lazy fucks would migrate to other platforms like Lemmy etc, right now this app is very limited compared to all the various subreddits, people need to start making replicas of the popular and niche subreddits and make it easier for people to migrate
I would argue that Lemmy.world has even more strict rules than reddit. At least it seems like that sometimes. Certain topics are just deleted.
I think Lemmy is decent for memes and entertainment but I dont think it can serve as a proper discussion site. The moderation wouldnt work. Unpaid moderators cant keep this place open for good discussions because it requires too much effort. But its good for memes. I like Lemmy in that way. Its positive and fun.
I haven’t encountered this. Which topics?
How is the moderation landscape any different on Lemmy vs Reddit? Aren’t Reddit moderators all unpaid too?
zero fucks given,
Starting to be no fucks given for the users either, the constant enshitifaction is baked in so only masochists are left there.
Regardless, they’ll still bend over & take it.
I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.
What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer
got a lot of accounts banned for ban evation. I can keep making new ones, create a couple of shitposts and you got enough karma to continue where you left
It’s hard to make a new account and not get flagged instantly.
You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use
I can’t be bothered anymore so now I just don’t use reddit
You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use
Oh no, it might take a whole minute.
reddit does have an official onion site
Fuck Spez, but also, is this is amateur hour?
First off, don’t use new Reddit. Second, run Reddit in desktop mode. Third, use a browser like Firefox so you can run RES and UBlock Origin.
Congratz, Reddit as it should be is fully functional on your phone.
on iphone there are no browser extensions except in safart (im keeping this typo) their dogshit browser
they force all browsers to use applewebkit engine
old.reddit works on mobile, but you need 1 Firefox extension the fixes the mobile styling.
And you’re using old reddit with RES like the good old days, but on mobile.
Well on the bright side I found this place
welcome to Lemmy
Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.
Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren’t logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can’t sell for much.
Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It’s like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you’re interested in. If all you do is ‘like’ your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.
How do I block Google from recommending reddit without that command? The Google reddit partnership is always putting reddit on top 😡
The question is why the hell are you still directly connecting to google servers. Aggregate it with a public SearXNG instance that way your traffic is masked with others also using that instance.
Alternatively you can use Startpage but that’s proprietary, and iirc have been making some poor decisions as of late.
Could you fill me in on those decisions you mentioned from Startpage? I’ve been trusting it for a while now but don’t really keep up with a whole lot of things.
Yeah not using the app
Fuck you, spez.
With a dull, rusty, red hot spoon.
Whispering slurs from your mom’s basement don’t help.
Bros we need a better lemmy plan.
More content. And making spez super sad and poor.
Someone needs to build a Firefox extension to periodically poll best content from subreddits they like and automatically repost to lemmy. Automatically.
So there are tons more content on lemmy. U get it?Not self hosted docker - most people won’t bother setting up residential proxies and fight bans, no - just a real browser, simple extension and simple settings, with legit ublock and auto reposting to lemmy. This way people don’t have to do shit and content would just transfer.
It’s fair use because it’s for ai.
This will make spez sad and poorer. Let’s do this
I get what you say, but people already mirror Reddit posts on Lemmy, and post Lemmy content on Reddit
So I’ve tested this with Brave and it does indeed come up, however with IronFox I haven’t had a problem so far.
