THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL USING REDDIT?!
And worse of all, using the official Reddit client… ugh…
Are there still any other options?
Old.reddit on browser. Or redreader
I personally use rdx.overdevs.com. It’s UI is absolutely fantastic. It’s read-only, but that’s perfect because I’ve resolved to never post there again
If you like read-only, can I recommend Stealth?
oh cool, i didn’t know about it! Is there a way to customise your feed and subscribe to certain subs in Stealth?
Yes, you can subscribe to subs but the process is a little painful. Especially if you have a bunch. And there’s no backup option that I can tell.
thank you, @[email protected], you’ve been very helpful. Very open (some might say gaping) with your information :)
If you are using old reddit, might I suggest Old Lander script via Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey ? It made old reddit terrific for me (terrific = user friendly beyond any app)
Old Lander
ooh where do i find this? Is it in the tampermonkey extension already, or do I have to import it from somewhere?
It’s not inbuilt in the TamperMonkey, but if you have TM installed in your browser (I use firefox) - then you can head to GitHub and install the js from there (scroll to the bottom of the GitHub page)
Revanced 3rd party apps
Removed by mod
I’m listening…
Relay. Still working until dev launches the paid version afaik.
It’s launched now :( sad day when I had to uninstall
Redreader still works due to the disability exemption.
Redreader was my favourite app… I ended up giving it up for Lemmy fully in July anyway.

I use it because there are two communities I still want to see, one is a kebble sub, and the other has torrents which are easier to find than going to a torrent site.
I was part of several kebble subs, but when the APIcalypse happened, I decided it was time to let go of all of it.
Then you’d better not be complaining. Otherwise, this is already past the point of using a system while taking part in it hypocrisy.
I can complain about the direction something is going while continuing to use it. FWIW I still use old Reddit in a browser and will probably leave if that stops working.
That’s misconstruing that concept. You can but the point of that argument is that you complain to the people who can change it not to the people that left the system.
Because lemmy isn’t nearly as large as reddit and most of the communities I’m in are barely (if at all) active on lemmy
Be the change you want to see in the world. I loved r/writingprompts, and the one on Lemmy is practically dead except for me posting a prompt about every day or so. I’ve been tossing memes from my collection into different communities just to get content out there too.
He is obviously using both reddit and lemmy. Just because he stops using reddit it wont make the topics he follows on lemmy magically active.

In other words, “I’m not willing to inconvenience myself even in the slightest to stand by the principles I claim to hold”. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
No, in other words I still like participating in communities for games, shows, and other topics that I like and there isn’t an alternative to reddit to fulfill my wants. Reddit won’t care if I stop using it, they’ll still make their money from the 99% of users (or more) who don’t care. I’d love to use lemmy more but a social platform doesn’t work for me if I can’t find people I want to socialize with.
In other words, “I’m not willing to inconvenience myself even in the slightest to stand by the principles I claim to hold”.
If everyone does what you do, no one leaves Reddit and they don’t learn their lesson. You can’t keep rewarding this bullshit so they get paid and then act surprised when they pull exactly the same shit. At some point, the blame is on you.
Most of their moneymakers are casual internet users who don’t care about any of this stuff and would only stop using reddit of it literally became unusable. If everyone who would be willing to use Lemmy stopped using reddit permanently right now they still wouldn’t care and would have plenty of users left.
That’s irrelevant. No one cares if Reddit cares right now. They start caring when it affects their bottom line and, as we’re already seeing, bot accounts and reposts that have taken over are hurting their bottom dollar because people aren’t seeing the ads. If you’re still going there, you’re helping them get paid.
“STOP HAVING FUN!”
Why are you still in a community that’s talking about reddit?
It shows up on the main feed because you people won’t stop bitching and pining about it like an ex that you can’t stop talking about to everyone within earshot.
So… block the community. Or do you enjoy all the cringe anime lewds and incel memes that make it to the main feed too?
You’re right. When I saw this, I didn’t realize it was in the Reddit community. I wouldn’t agree with you if it was any other community because most of us came to Lemmy to get away from Reddit but that can’t apply to this community.
Sorry you’re getting downvoted. That’s lame. Probably because of the anime and incel part of the comment. Ok, maybe you deserve it a little… You should feel right at home. 🤣
Rofl, all good. But I’ve seen some weird communities make it to Top 6 hours with like 10 votes.
Anyone who still uses the official reddit app at this point is just unsaveable
Yeah seriously, OP; WTF.
EDIT: Relay still works. If you have to use a reddit app, use that.
Redreader works as well due to the disability exemption.
Fucking assholes. Even Twitter lets you see your inbox with notifications.
Musk, observing from the corner: "write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN’
What if I told you you didn’t have to use reddit?
If only… but what would I use instead?
AOL Chat?
Fuck spez.
I urge everyone to accept this, then flag every email as spam and just have it move to junk, that’s what I do on sites that enable predatory things with email
lmao that’s a good idea.
Or just block the whole email address
I report it/flag it as it can blacklist the domain server side due to reports
I stg Reddit is turning into xitter, feels like there are way more bigots and edgy racists, lgbt hate etc.
Fucking disgusting
if you have the same thread across two subreddits, the comments just repeat, lol, clesrly botting going on.
was looking at a goal thread /r/reddevils same top comments verbatim in the /r/soccer thread
I’m still adjusting to lemmy where very few people are trying to be edge lords. It keeps surprising me to read through the comments on a controversial topic and there’s only a few of them, and they’re always very heavily down voted.
“stg”?
I think it means Swear To God
That makes sense in context. Thanks, friend.
Considering I took a suspension for “report abuse/harassment” for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.
enshitification intensifies
This might be a server side error, actually. Here’s a comment from someone on r/redditmobile:
“For me, it displays the “no notifications” prompt. I think there is a server/app error that is causing notifications to not display. The “enable notifications and email” pop ups that occur when checking the activity screen might display instead of the “no notifications” box might appear if you do not have them enabled.”
Yeah, most of the time these type of things are either a server side or a cache issue.
Haha. Anyone staying there at this point is getting what they deserve.

Here’s come another wave of Reddit refugees.
I can’t believe people on here use the official Reddit app that’s beyond trash. I visit Reddit once a week and it’s to the “old” subdomain with an adblocker.
Stop rewarding corporations for their piss poor behavior and decisions.
Or if one must an app, Redreader still works.
It sucked before too. Certain types of notification were only viewable in the app. If you had one, it would give you an orange envelope on the mobile site, but nothing new could be seen inside. And it wouldn’t even tell you what’s happening so I just wrote off the entire notification system as broken. So if I got a reply on Reddit I wouldn’t know because there’s no indication. I still won’t ever install the app and I’m now less likely to do so because I hate push notifications.
this is the problem with putting a dying star at the center of social media. It’s like a white dwarf, heading for a black hole. That’s physics. It’s inevitable. And then we, the audience, we get sucked into that black hole. Are you with me? And the only way to stop it is to not put a dying star in the center of social media. Now, reddit is a dying star, a supernova. And when it explodes, It will have amounted to nothing
