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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point Iβ€˜m not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions

In dark mode, that actually looks like a LOL LOLing through space.

I swear I haven't had psychadellics. In fact, it'd probably be a mesmerising trap on psychadellics.

And don't forget to leave it a negative review.

I am in disbelief, the last time I used reddit this was a solved issue, and now they've gone and unsolved it??

They should stop

Reddit's attempt to pique your interest

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Reddit has typing indicators. I did not know that.

But why?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is fucking hilarious dude. And some still wonder why so many people were up in arms haha

"accessibility? what accessibility?" - reddit app

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Hey, at least they're being equitable about it, and making the site equally inaccessible for everyone!

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of


okay im done. lol

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit anymore, unless forced.

Even when forced, I feel dirty.

Nobody forcing you my dude/lady.

I remember before I got a third party app that the official app would only show up to 10 nested comments. This meant if you replied to the last comment, it would never actually show up for mobile app users, since there was no "view more comments" button or anything.

So it would seem that they finally fixed that issue...

And you notice that because…. YOU WERE ON THE REDDIT AP! Uninstall that crap! (Sorry not sorry for all caps)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and I’ve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apollo’s β€œOpen in Apollo” function didn’t seem to work 100% of the time.

The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasn’t even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and haven’t missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (it’s horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) I’m half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, they’d occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.

[–] dragoness 8 points 1 year ago

I was getting emails also. All of a sudden reddit decided I needed to know what subreddits were trending via email. I'd tell it to quit sending me that shit and it would send them again after like 2 weeks.

I'm pretty sure it's been like this for a long time, too

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I remember getting a new phone and somehow i downloaded reddit instead of boost. I thought Ah come on, how bad can it be, let's try one more round. 5 minutes in I ended up like this and noped out of there. I still miss my reddit communities a bit, but as a mobile user there is no going back.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

As a solution, you can always have it being read to you by the accessibility feat- ohh wait.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

We know, that's why most of us are here

[–] altima_neo 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NGL, I had this happen with sync a few times in the past

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's definitely true, but Sync also fixed it a while back.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sync is also one dev while reddit employs over 50 devs for their mobile app alone.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're fucking it up 50X faster than a single dev could accomplish.

Oh, and they have all the access to the backend that no third party app developer has. What a fucking pack of amateurs.

It has more lines than a play.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They prefer investing in crypto shit before fixing that trash app

Even a Nokia phone is better

Whose garbage app? Never heard of this "red dit" place. What's a "dit" and why isn't it some other color?
