Reddit Migration

I was searching info on a crypto scam and saw that now reddit has jumped on the crypto bandwagon too? Everything must be on a blockchain for some reason

Just deleted my 12+ year account on Reddit and I'm still feeling weird.

Was a long time lurker. My grand total of upvotes reached 4K!

I used Redact to remove my comments; there were so few posts I could delete them on my own.

Experiencing those feelings of 'oh, this is a toxic relationship; but I really don't want to leave because there's this groove and so much history'

That's it. It is HISTORY.

and now I'm out

Old habit, I opened rif and it loads current posts! What's going on?

Not much else needs to be said tbh. Fuck Spez.

Edit: Not sure why imgur marked the album as NSFW, but there's nothing NSFW in it other than the name of one of the mods including the word "bitch"

Hardly ever used it, but got a notification from it on my phone the other day which reminded me I still had it on my phone. It was still linked to my old reddit username which got suspended permanently a month or two back, so I finally got around to taking it off.

Just a reminder for those of us who mostly used reddit via laptop etc - you may still have it on your phone but forgotten about it - if a bunch of people uninstall it that will not look good for them

This popped up on reddit when I clicked a web search result. Just what we've always wanted.

Catch us on discord or !streetwear@lemmy.world 😎 Also you might notice the sub is currently open/restricted 🤫 stay tuned

Many Redditors were caught off guard by the removal of their chat and message history.

I suggest replacing a fuckspez with "join-lemmy.org", for anyone still having the redditapp

Could we get all the former subreddit mods who migrated to lemmy/kbin to unite and make some promo for lemmy/kbin on /r/place?

A current state of Place on Reddit shows seems to seems to be signalling something to u/spez :)

I made a Magazine called Photobiomodulation (https://kbin.social/m/photobiomodulation/) for the discussion of this topic on the Fediverse. I've left Reddit behind, and am recreating this community here.

To add insult to injury.

Maybe Reddit should’ve done that part first?

Reddit seems to be fully aware what users are likely to do in the current climate. Do they think people who aren't angry will be louder than everyone else, do they have a plan for protests, or are they just letting the chips fall?

thought this might be useful for some

So I've finally been doing my little reddit/twitter migration against my better judgement (my better judgement would say to take the opportunity to get off the internet but who listens to that loser). I'm finding all these platforms interesting, I particularly like how kbin combines both formats and links up to Mastodon, that's quite an idea.

Having said that all this nonsense made me nostalgic for Usenet all over again. I had some very enjoyable years on there and quite a lot of what I liked about Reddit was actually that it felt like the closest thing the web had to Usenet. (You'd think Google Groups was the closest thing but for some reason it wasn't. There is something I just loved about a newsreader's interface that Google Groups didn't replicate and it was just annoying).

It actually made me go check some old newsgroups out, and, well, that's the eternal problem Usenet isn't it - it being 99% dead as a parrot.

Is anybody still on Usenet, and if so what newsgroups do you follow? For that matter, what newsgroups are you aware of as still having some activity? Is anybody interested in getting (back) on it, and if so on where? Is Google Groups still in 2023 the best the web has to offer in terms of accessing it easily?

If you Google something and the results you need is on a reddit page but you're unable to view for any reason, such as the user deleting the post or the sub going dark, there is a work around to get the info you need. Copy the link from Google and In your web browsers search bar/ URL bar type Cache: followed by the URL you copied.

This will bring up a cached copy of the reddit page. Bonus is reddit doesn't get any ad revenue for this. Google used to have an option to view cached pages in a hamburger menu next to the search result. This is doing the same thing, but Google took away the button.

There's still some subreddits I'd like to view as their communities haven't swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don't want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example

https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA

becomes:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA.rss

Which now works from your RSS reader, sees not ads, and can view without logging in. This also works in nsfw subreddits and apparently now "unverified" subreddits now. Depending on your RSS reader, it should also be able to grab images from posts as well. This bypass seems like an oversight for now, as this doesn't work from the API. Remember: Reddit can still go fuck themselves.

Another small PSA: This works for Lemmy communities as well!

If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered
