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.

looks like old.reddit.com still works.

on a desktop, if you try to do it on mobile, you have to zoom in alot.

[–] gilokee@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

this is how I've always done it lol (well, since RIF went away). Just more reason to go to Lemmy.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

3 days tops before some reverse engineers the app and makes a proxy website. You won’t win this fight, spez. You will just lose in the most expensive way possible.

LibRedirect has been able to alter reddit links to redlib on mobile for quite a while, just have to install the extension on FireFox. Or you could just open a link on one of their instances to begin with, if you don't want to use FireFox mobile.

Basically reddit has already lost that fight years ago - 2023 is when we got mobile Firefox extensions

libreddit has been replaced by Redlib for some time

[–] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 18 hours ago

I didn't mention libreddit

[–] pyromaster55@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

I got permabanned this week for saying "Poor white people are being tricked into blaming black/brown/trans people for their problems instead of billionaires."

Apparently it was promoting hate based speech and attacks.

Reddit was kinda neat 15 years ago, it's a fucking cesspool now.

Reddit is not dying fast enough

I just use desktop agent on my phone if there's a good answer to something on reddit, but honestly it needs to die and we need to use fediverse more for discussions.

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This wouldn't bother me at all if reddit didn't appear at the top of almost every damn question I Google nowadays. Why are you pushing reddit for answers if you won't let me see them?

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Because they paid bank for a data deal with Reddit a little while back so they're damn well gonna try to make that money back with your clicks.

[–] jambudz@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

DuckDuckGo. AI only if you ask for it. Actual results. It’s like 2007 google

Reached for comment, the company instead offered a puzzling explanation: that the site-breaking popup is for users’ own good.

Fuck you reddit, fuck /u/spez!

Reminder that Steve Huffman is greedy little pig boy

Users do anything but stop using reddit

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Many of us here stopped a while back. For me, it was the API thing a couple of years ago. But it's still useful to check reddit website for info - there's just so many answers to so many questions on there. But fuck using their app.

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.

I still remember the first secret santa events on reddit. Some of the best internet times in history imo.

The saddest part is it didn't need to be.

Imagine if, instead of going for an IPO and all this, they operated it as a non-profit? If they just tried to be a cool place for users, like it was for 10 or 15 years already.

Instead they have to drain the blood out of it and sell it for parts and wonder why it died.

You know I was a multi time a day user, I had lot of favorite subreddits, I accidentally posted in a sub that I had been "banned" in from my other account (for making a comment that was not particularly political and they said it was), it was not malicious, was not intentional, was not trying to "get around their ban" just accidently posted from the wrong account. Didn't notice what sub I was in. Then 4 months later I did the same thing not, I was just not paying attention to what sub I made a casual offhanded comment in. I ALSO happened to be using a VPN. And BAM! IP banned, all 8 of my accounts banned even my business account. I was so so so upset. But now a month later, I still get kinda upset that I can't use it to ask questions. but man what a fucking time suck it was. My brain was just rotting away there. That whole IP banning thing is total bullshit.

That whole IP banning thing is total bullshit

Got my entire office banned that way. People have to work now.

[–] mangobanana@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

They can still read Reddit though

[–] TootTootComingThru@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Having 8 Reddit accounts is so goddamn funny and normal.

Sigh I left reddit but I still like to browse in my niche game(s) specific community to see discussion. We need alternative, steam forum isn't that great for some of games, and there's barely any other unless they're top 20 games.

this just in: company enshittifies product and doesn't give a fuck about you, only money. More at 10.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

there's a handful of mobile apps that work very well, i assume, using a embedded browser, no ads, minimal interface, not hard to find

cant exactly be shocked by this, when the masses so willingly accept and adopt much more invasive, information harvesting and profitable apps instead of just using websites.

[–] lithiumground@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

reddit is too slow on mobile website . they deliberately do like this

[–] me_myself_and_I@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

Redditt is becoming more and more difficult to use on the web over the last couple of months or so. They know that there are browser extensions that filter out unwanted elements, and also that trackers and fingerprints are increasingly being blocked.

You can't be tracked as easily with a properly configured browser and I suspect that this is what the change is all about. I will continue using Reddit on the browser, for now, but am happy to ditch it if it becomes a problem.

There is a lot of AI and Human slop posted these days - I am getting fed up with having to decipher posts from people who simply cannot string a coherent sentence together. I am also getting fed up with people using expletives and profanities and just wish people would communicate properly.

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
