Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.
Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren’t logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can’t sell for much.
Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It’s like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you’re interested in. If all you do is ‘like’ your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.
Well on the bright side I found this place
Fuck you, spez.
Whispering slurs from your mom’s basement don’t help.
Bros we need a better lemmy plan.
More content. And making spez super sad and poor.
Someone needs to build a Firefox extension to periodically poll best content from subreddits they like and automatically repost to lemmy. Automatically.
So there are tons more content on lemmy. U get it?Not self hosted docker - most people won’t bother setting up residential proxies and fight bans, no - just a real browser, simple extension and simple settings, with legit ublock and auto reposting to lemmy. This way people don’t have to do shit and content would just transfer.
It’s fair use because it’s for ai.
This will make spez sad and poorer. Let’s do this
With a dull, rusty, red hot spoon.
Fuck Spez, but also, is this is amateur hour?
First off, don’t use new Reddit. Second, run Reddit in desktop mode. Third, use a browser like Firefox so you can run RES and UBlock Origin.
Congratz, Reddit as it should be is fully functional on your phone.
Yeah not using the app
How do I block Google from recommending reddit without that command? The Google reddit partnership is always putting reddit on top 😡
I don’t know why they bitch…they’re just going right back. weak
it takes some people mnay attempts to get out of an abusive relationship
I’m so glad I was permabanned with no possible way to ever login under any new or existing username ever again. That’s the only they could keep me away. It’s been healthy for me.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve had more productive conversations/debates with people on here in 6 months than 12 years on reddit.
I agree as far as politics, but for everything else I like - music, guitars, cats, animals - Lemmy is sadly lacking.
So I’ve tested this with Brave and it does indeed come up, however with IronFox I haven’t had a problem so far.
I got this a bit ago, so I just keep deleting my cookies and it works again.
Check redlib out as well: https://redlib.catsarch.com/ https://reddit.fsky.io/
If you just use Firefox strict privacy mode. That does that work for you. Recommend it for all sites
https://old.reddit.com/ is still working fine for me.
If Lemmy would pick up some more content about RVs and sailing I would leave there but meanwhile the old way still works.
Yeah came to say the same. I have a few subreddits I still lurk in because lemmy doesn’t have the largest communities on that topic yet. I imagine it is only a matter of time before old reddit is gone.
How much are you posting about RVs and sailing on Lemmy?
We can yell into the abyss all we want, but the abyss isn’t yelling back.
Our niche interest communities are slowly being formed on the Fediverse, but if nobody participates then 🤷🏼♀️
Yep, I remember when I first joined Lemmy, you’d be lucky if your post got 2 comments. I recently posted on a car group here and got about as much engagement as I would have on r*ddit.
I like it here, I like our community. Feels like a comic con in a small city. “I wish people at this con would talk about Squirrel Girl” maybe you should set up a booth. Same applies here.
reddit Reddit Reddit reddit.
Wtf does censoring it do?
Agreed. I was all confused AF until I realized that people don’t automatically use it, or using the auto-redirect apps that help prevent New Reddit from ever showing its face.
It only works on some things. You’ll still get the pop-up sometimes, even through old.
RIP reddit. We knew this day would come. At least Spez will have plenty of bot accounts to keep him company.
To me, it died when they allowed users to hide their post and comment history. Enables bots and bad faith behavior.
Hi everyone, this was the last straw for me. Can anyone point me in the direction of the porn?
try fedinsfw.app
This is the thing that gets me. It’s kind of a double edged sword using an underground community like Lemmy. I still use Reddit for nsfw (God bless red reader) because the normie girls haven’t migrated over here yet. There is such a mature community of self posting NSFW content that I haven’t found anywhere else on the Internet like it tbh.
*gestures in the general direction of the entire internet *
Go to Bluesky. I think due to the size of the Fediverse its porn content is infinitesimally smaller than Reddits. To flab my cheeks together and speak out of my ass locally hosting explicit content on a home server is also too risky. The low content available + search complexity makes googling boobs a better option.Just use it. You will never see an ad if that is the only thing you are looking at.
That’s so funny, who would even notice that it’s “broken?”
Welcome to Lemmy!
“Personalized experience” AKA “even more ad revenue”.
