I have a question. As most of you probably already know, i reached that level on reddit where karma can be converted 1:1 to dollars (not that hard tbh), but here looks like there's no karma to farm? How can I pay my rent?
I hate the official app with the fire of 1,000 suns. So if my only options are using the official app or leaving the site completely I’m leaving completely✌️
Reddit's official app, and in fact Reddit's official website is a hugely compromised experience, and I suspect the only reason they haven't gone further is that they don't want to push people to the alternatives. However this latest move to restrict the available alternatives seems like the beginning of the end to me and their app and site are only going to get worse.
Joined lemmy after getting sick of reddit. The community here feels like a breath of fresh air. But disappointed at the lack of the more niche content (mostly motorsport discussion/news) but am sure that'll change with time.
I was half wondering if it was possible/allowed to create a bot account that "mirrors" content from certain subreddits such as r/formula1 to create an automated newsfeed for lemmy users to browse and comment on? I guess even if it were possible it'd rely on using reddit's API which is obviously soon to be a no-go
I'm only a 6 year clubber on Reddit, but using RIF for most of it, couldn't stand how the app was going. Nowadays it's the content as well. Going to be exploring around here now
I don't want to use any app, I want to use the website. However, I'm guessing old.reddit is on the chopping block next and if they get rid of that I'm done. Lemmy's website isn't amazing (why so much whitespace wasted?) but it's a hell of a lot better than new reddit.
I never understood this argument. I can't read more than one post at a time anyways and images are not immediately visible in the list view. What makes you want 18 posts visible at once?
I'd rather crawl the 20 extra miles to a new community (and did) than use that app again. It's that bad.
The reviews on Google Play are very telling. It's just a buggy mess.
Despite it not being available through i.reddit.com, compact mode is still reachable at reddit.com/.i, and I find it even better than old reddit for mobile.
I would actually be willing to pay a small, reasonable monthly fee to not have to see ads and to be able to continue using Boost for Reddit like I have been for the last 7 years with the experience unchanged. What I will not do is pay to use reddit's official app without ads simply because it's going to be the only choice with their horrible fee structure that will kill all third party apps. As soon as they kill Boost, my account there goes dark...
What I'd actually rather do is have all of reddit pay devs of a federated platform like this one or similar a small amount to have a platform without ads.
