News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Noooo I gotta write "~~fellate~~ fuck spez" so other ppl on reddit see that I am totally totally against reddit. Just gonna buy some reddit gold to really drive home the point!!!
Reddit nfts I hope you mean
Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point Iβm not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions
i haven't mustered up the emotional fortitude to uninstall rif yet. still, i seem to have gotten out of the habit of absent mindedly opening it

Well, delete it?
And don't forget to leave it a negative review.
I am in disbelief, the last time I used reddit this was a solved issue, and now they've gone and unsolved it??
Regressions are a side effect of big buisness planning! πͺ

The fuck is "3 people are typing"
They should stop
Reddit's attempt to pique your interest
Reddit has typing indicators. I did not know that.
But why?
This is fucking hilarious dude. And some still wonder why so many people were up in arms haha

"accessibility? what accessibility?" - reddit app
Hey, at least they're being equitable about it, and making the site equally inaccessible for everyone!
Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of
okay im done. lol
And you notice that becauseβ¦. YOU WERE ON THE REDDIT APP! Uninstall that crap! (Sorry not sorry for all caps)
I'm glad that I don't use Reddit anymore, unless forced.
Even when forced, I feel dirty.
I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and Iβve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.
Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apolloβs βOpen in Apolloβ function didnβt seem to work 100% of the time.
The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasnβt even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and havenβt missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (itβs horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) Iβm half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, theyβd occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.

As a solution, you can always have it being read to you by the accessibility feat- ohh wait.
I'm pretty sure it's been like this for a long time, too
I remember getting a new phone and somehow i downloaded reddit instead of boost. I thought Ah come on, how bad can it be, let's try one more round. 5 minutes in I ended up like this and noped out of there. I still miss my reddit communities a bit, but as a mobile user there is no going back.
Never seen official reddit app before, doesn't look good.
We know, that's why most of us are here
They prefer investing in crypto shit before fixing that trash app
Whose garbage app? Never heard of this "red dit" place. What's a "dit" and why isn't it some other color?

Just go to the permalink of the lower level comme... oh, right.
NGL, I had this happen with sync a few times in the past
That's definitely true, but Sync also fixed it a while back.
Sync is also one dev while reddit employs over 50 devs for their mobile app alone.
They're fucking it up 50X faster than a single dev could accomplish.
Oh, and they have all the access to the backend that no third party app developer has. What a fucking pack of amateurs.

It has more lines than a play.
Even a Nokia phone is better
r/softwaregore lmao
But also, I know Sync is gone but there are other third party apps still clinging on like Relay. So why are you still using the official app?
Sync? Gone? Sync moved to Lemmy and it's gorgeous.
And then there's the cracked sync client that just works... https://github.com/Liz-chan/sink-for-everyone/releases/
Apparently it's using the API key of some official function (or even app?) and spoofs the corresponding user agent, so it can't be easily detected.
Sync won't be updated any longer, so once reddit messes with the API again, functions will break eventually. But for now it works.

Since when was the Reddit app green? Is this even the actual Reddit app?
I dunno, it seems like it accomplishes its primary purpose well enough? Too bad for you that purpose is to deliver ads to the user to see while doomscrolling...and nothing else.:-(
