Fuck Reddit

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

It still works for mods ๐Ÿคท

I stopped browsing Reddit in July

[โ€“] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

a bobsend

A what

[โ€“] Boinkage@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's shorthand for a gift sent by Bob

[โ€“] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I think you meant "Bob".

[โ€“] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Moghul@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Idk, maybe they're onto something here.

[โ€“] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Fuck reddit

[โ€“] Mr_Mofu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Left reddit ages ago when boost was taken away.

[โ€“] Fake4000@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Still works fine with my API key.

Downloading videos is broken though.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] kia@lemmy.ca 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] papalonian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months 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€“] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 2 points 7 months 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€“] unrigged6112@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is that an app?

[โ€“] unrigged6112@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yes it is. Its on f-droid

[โ€“] ByteMe@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] Acamon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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€“] danielfgom@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Nope

[โ€“] zerosignal@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I still do

[โ€“] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

yeah

[โ€“] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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€“] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

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

[โ€“] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

not anymore. looks like it died. somebody said that a revamped patches coming but whatever
