I hate reddit. They blocked all of my accounts for no reason. And they’re so vague explaining why, and when I tried to appeal, the whole site crashed. Literally joined Lemmy yesterday.
Welcome. Yeah Reddit is an evil forum. Blocked me too when I was doing an ANTI racist statement. Apparently the moderhater thought I was racist, block for life, appeal never helped. I think they cannot read properly.
16 year old reddit account. I got a 3 day suspension for “harassment” for telling the mods of a joe rogan sub that their sub is full of “losers”. I was completely censoring myself by being so soft in my critique. Evidently right wing snowflakes are big fans of cancel culture. Deleted the app & here I am!
Thank you! That’s crazy man. Man i hate it so much, you can get banned for literally anything, with no solid reason and explanation. It really is evil. Built a niche news subreddit from the ground up and it was doing good, with about 100 members in 2-3 months. Lost it. I was moderating another bigger subreddit aswell, made it grow and better, all for nothing.
Are you from a sanctioned country by any chance?
No, i’m from Sweden.

I’m using this to suggest that Lemmy is better. Sneaky but fun.
My default use of mobile browsers
Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to Lemmy Instead
I’ve corrected the headline for you. Thank me later, alligator.
Thats why I’m back here 🐱
Welcome home 😌
Good idea, Reddit.

How does that work? I thought Reddit effectively banned third-party apps by forcing API usage fees?
Either way, I wouldn’t browse Reddit now even if they reneged on the API scandal. Bridge has been burned, and the political landscape there seems horrid nowadays.
Maybe like Boost for Reddit - it can be patched with Revanced and you can still use it
I read somewhere (who knows where) Red Reader focuses on visual impaired accessibility features so Reddit Corp waives the api fees. I assume it’s cheaper for them than developing accessibility features into the official app.
They’re still doing it? When I accidentally click a reddit link I don’t get the paywall anymore.
Or maybe they saw that it was a 100% bounce rate from me and then reverted the behavior (like a cookie with a counter, after 20 bounces don’t show the paywall anymore?)
old.reddit.comis unaffectedThe few times I click a link to a Reddit post I immediately change www to old. That new monstrosity is unusable.
Perfect, I might even set my UA for reddit to mobile then, I need an “excuse” to keep on using it less. I still browse it without an account but I should lose the habit.
RDX is the only way I view reddit now, when I have to.
Read-only and not as polished as some of the older commercial versions, but https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/ also works. They have different access methods like web scraping. Works well enough for lurking when Reddit isn’t blocking my VPN, which they seem to block/unblock at random.
Really nice design in that app. Looks very polished actually. 💎
This was happening to me but then stopped and I’m not sure why.
I already deleted Reddit from my bookmarks and started adding -reddit.com into my Google searches. If there was an easy way to default -reddit.com into every search then I would do it.
Better use the actual
-site:domainfunction to filter out by domain directly. You can in example search everything about Reddit, without results from Reddit itself:reddit -site:reddit.com -site:redditinc.com -site:reddithelp.comCreate a custom search provider. Search URL should be like:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s+-ai+-redditYou can just keep stringing the additional terms that you want excluded. I’m sure there’s some limit but you probably won’t hit it
Edit: apparently either lemmy or boost doesn’t like percent signs. Or URL encoding for that matter. The first part should be (percent character)s, and the plus signs should be (percent character)20. Though the + will probably work as-is depending on how your browser does things
I don’t know of a way with Google, but with Kagi, I can block, penalize, or promote domains from my search results.
You guys are still using reddit?
To steal content so you don’t have to. ;)
I use reddit to lurk in niche communities that have zero to no presence here.
For porn, exclusively
Yep
I have a bit of a following there for the stuff I create
Lemmy just doesn’t compare
I did too, until they ip banned me for using a vpn
This man gets it 👆
Surely there are better sources? What kinda kinks you got? Lots of furry shit?
Yeah it’s actually pretty top notch for that across the board, kinks or otherwise.
They blocked NSFW content for users who aren’t logged in last I checked. Still the case? I refuse to test it by visiting their cancer site.
They’ve fucked the interface with redgifs for countries that require age verification
I’m verified, because I’m a content creator, but reddit doesn’t recognise it
They’ll probably fix it quickly given how heavily they rely on porn traffic
No idea. When I got booted, I deleted my account and haven’t been back other than random internet searches.
I have enough personal experiences I can draw on for rubbing one out. What was really good were the OF people dropping their enticers for people to sign up. They’re good at what they do, the porn is realistic.
The T&A need to come this wayy
I will not install their app. Period.
I hope it ends up pushing more people here!
I think that people leaving Reddit will go to Bluesky, Instagram and Discord…
Like anywhere but on the fedi.
At the same time, I’m worried the community will worsen. I feel this is the only place left that feels like old internet.
👋 hello it’s me
More people
Welcome!! :)
Fuck you spez.
They’re gonna shut down old reddit or make it a premium feature aren’t they?
They’re gonna shut down old reddit
Day they do that is the day I never go back to Reddit.
That day should’ve come and gone my friend. Actively avoid it!
