That's why i deleted Reddit account twice and I moved to Lemmy, I don't want forcing you to use shitty Reddit app to view Unreviewed content subreddits

Funny how they don't even pretend there's any logic to it. If you can view it in the app, then the content has been reviewed after all...? Clearly just a way to enforce app usage.

We're expecting a giant influx of users when the popular workaround, old.reddit.com (perhaps with RES to make it less outdated), inevitably gets shut down. Please try to make Lemmy a worthwile space in the meantime so that they stay!

I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

I wish someone could just mirror it all

Over the last year I think I've dropped in about six times out of sheer habit, and each time I am driven away by the undeniable force of asshole design.

That's only on mobile browser mode. Open your browser settings and select Desktop site and you won't see that modal anymore.

Still an asshole design, though.

If you absolutely have to read something from reddit and it throws this, just switch to the desktop site instead of mobile.

Lemme apps are better now anyway, and no ads

I just posted to Reddit about my Twystlock gaming accessory release. Something free for everyone.

Most subreddits don't allow cross-posting, so I made 5 posts in total. 1 was taken down by mods. 3 were taken down by Reddit. Only r/Handhelds survived.

I don't use Reddit anymore in day to day, but I've had releases like Winapps sit at the top of r/Linux for days and never had these issues until more recently. Garbage.

I cannot stress this enough: if you just want to browse reddit without interacting with anyone and supporting their greedy, stupid bullshit, I highly recommend RDX.

Yup. They got so desperate for money they first screwed developers with the API change and now they’re going to push this more and more. My expectation is they’re going to slowly move toward forcing usage of the official app or absolutely nothing else.

Spaz is desperate for ad money. I’m only in a few subs that have no Lemmy equivalent yet, but otherwise I’ve ditched reddit like the steaming pile of shit that it’s become.

Havent tried for a while, but you used to be able to change the url to

https://old.reddit.com/r/…..

to bypass these shitty “use our app instead”. You don’t get mobile view but you can at least see it

Reddit, Twitter. I don't understand why they are putting so much effort into making sure that people can't use them comfortably. I always thought there should be as few barriers for the user as possible, otherwise they might drop out. Are these platforms more concerned about selling data for LLMs now?

Stop going back, it's not worth it

It's funny because Ukrainian war videos are put into the main feed, and you can watch the videos. But when you click the title to read the comments it asks you to login for sensitive content.

It's such a shitty, buggy and slow website.

I am a lazy prick, so I'm just now using Power Delete Suite to mass edit my stuff on reddit to promote lemmy.

Feel free to do that too.

Oldlander extension for Firefox. Works great.

for browsing, there's reddit viewer.

https://reddit-viewer.com/r/lifehacks?sort=hot

just choose the sub and go.

no search functionality yet, unfortunately, which i assume lots of people would find useful, but skipping login is very nice.

lmao, what was the subreddit?

On iOS I use Sink it for reddit to get around this

Why did you have to delete it twice? Once did it for me (kidding) But back when reddit was cute (long long ago) they had this thing where they’d ask “are you sure” a lot of times and switch buttons and stuff to trick you (in a playful way) I liked it back then

Tiktok does something like this (yeah i get alot of tiktoks from some of my friends)

I've heard rumours that of you change your agent string in your browser you can get past this, tho not tested yet.

I use Dystopia for the occasional usage of Reddit out of necessity. One day once there are federated groups for all I need, I’m ditching Reddit entirely forever.
