There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.

Infinity still working right?

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it’s basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. wefwef.app

PixelatedAvocado ,

I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

I’m using wefwef too, but it doesn’t keep me logged in for some reason.

Since it’s browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority but it doesn’t make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It’s functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I’m upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let’s be real: nobody’s really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I’m going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I’ll use them side by side.

It’s kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I’ve been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it’s “federated” doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you want. It just means it’s not owned by anyone in particular.

I don’t find the official reddit app to be usable, it’s twice as slow as any 3rd party app I tried, enabling sound for a single video in the feed allows Everything you scroll past to scream at you, which is obnoxious, and it’s wildly unintuitive (though this one is more of a personal preference than a problem with the app per se).

You will never find a service that lets you post anything you want unmoderated. Your point is still wrong though because all you need to do is find an instance that tolerates your speech.

WomenAreSoPrettyWTF ,

what specific views are you having suppressed

Icedrous ,

Personal opinions, like my city’s take on safe drug usage to lgbt stances that I don’t agree with

WomenAreSoPrettyWTF ,

you’re suppressed on reddit because of your opinions about lgbt people? what kind of opinions?

Icedrous ,

I was permanently banned from Reddit for saying something about Robin Hobb’s series Assassin Apprentice that it was gay and had a non-binary character, proceeding to say I’d never finish it because of that.

Or I’ve seen countless people get banned from Reddit saying to keep the kids out of the lgbt stuff.

I remember saying before I got banned that I didn’t really agree with pride, mainly because international men’s day is also in June and ever since pride was a thing, that’s been glossed over. So I was upset about it and I remember I got a lot of hateful comments for even bringing it up.

iokus ,

If that was meant to exonerate you, it mostly just made you sound pretty bad. Refusing to finish one of the most remarkable fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings because you can’t tolerate the existence of gay or nonbinary people isn’t normal behavior. I genuinely hope that you try to work on yourself and sort out this simmering hatred instead of getting upset about humans who are different from you existing.

It’s time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

ipkpjersi ,

The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.

Take it as a reminder that we should always be faithful and coherent to our ideals!

Much like Google’s motto used to read; don’t be evil.

I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Quill7513 ,

I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I’m not involved, but I appreciate it

beaumains ,

I’m not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

Never.

Ever.

Swisside ,

Let’s go.

Reddit is dead to me anyways. https://feddit.ch/pictrs/image/f779aad4-5244-4e39-a0ce-849962a220a9.jpeg

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

Pizzarules668 ,

I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment

@gornar@lemmy.world avatar

I’m the same way!

June ,

The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

Falloutbros101 ,

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD
