Fuck Reddit

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

It still works for mods ๐Ÿคท

I stopped browsing Reddit in July

I uninstalled it yesterday to stop wasting so much time scrolling. Lemmy having so much less content is a bobsend.

It's shorthand for a gift sent by Bob

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think you meant "Bob".

I was going to say bon apple tea but it's probably just a misspelling.

Idk, maybe they're onto something here.

I haven't been back to Reddit since The Exodus. I uninstalled the app. I suffered waiting for Boost to become available for Lemmy.

Fuck reddit

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Left reddit ages ago when boost was taken away.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As far as I'm aware it's completely broken due to the API restrictions?

[โ€“] kia 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you're a mod of a subreddit, it still works.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you make your own sub on the desktop then use that to use the app?

(I don't plan on going through all this effort to browse Reddit lol just curious if it works or if they thought of that.)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that works, I made a private sub a few months ago.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There's patches to use your own keys, which would fall under the free tier for most people unless you're a raging Reddit addict.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Still works fine with my API key.

Downloading videos is broken though.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Am using stealth. No keys necessary. Just add your favourite subreddits and you are done

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Only cards like view, eww. At least Red Reader has customization options.

I do. I use reddit for a few things (even though it sucks. I made my own sub so I could be mod and boost works well

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use it :)). It's great for tablets

Still works for me, I think I'm either a moderator of some defunct sub or posting to my own u/ page at some point counts towards being a moderator.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My wife does. Lemmy has next to nothing to offer her.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago
