THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL USING REDDIT?!
And worse of all, using the official Reddit client… ugh…
Are there still any other options?
Old.reddit on browser. Or redreader
I personally use rdx.overdevs.com. It’s UI is absolutely fantastic. It’s read-only, but that’s perfect because I’ve resolved to never post there again
If you like read-only, can I recommend Stealth?
oh cool, i didn’t know about it! Is there a way to customise your feed and subscribe to certain subs in Stealth?
Yes, you can subscribe to subs but the process is a little painful. Especially if you have a bunch. And there’s no backup option that I can tell.
Can install via F-Droid or Obtanium. It’s also really nice-looking.
thank you, @[email protected], you’ve been very helpful. Very open (some might say gaping) with your information :)
If you are using old reddit, might I suggest Old Lander script via Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey ? It made old reddit terrific for me (terrific = user friendly beyond any app)

Because lemmy isn’t nearly as large as reddit and most of the communities I’m in are barely (if at all) active on lemmy
Be the change you want to see in the world. I loved r/writingprompts, and the one on Lemmy is practically dead except for me posting a prompt about every day or so. I’ve been tossing memes from my collection into different communities just to get content out there too.
He is obviously using both reddit and lemmy. Just because he stops using reddit it wont make the topics he follows on lemmy magically active.
Third party apps are still working btw. Fees will probably be introduced soon, but it hasn’t happened yet
In other words, “I’m not willing to inconvenience myself even in the slightest to stand by the principles I claim to hold”. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
No, in other words I still like participating in communities for games, shows, and other topics that I like and there isn’t an alternative to reddit to fulfill my wants. Reddit won’t care if I stop using it, they’ll still make their money from the 99% of users (or more) who don’t care. I’d love to use lemmy more but a social platform doesn’t work for me if I can’t find people I want to socialize with.
In other words, “I’m not willing to inconvenience myself even in the slightest to stand by the principles I claim to hold”.
If everyone does what you do, no one leaves Reddit and they don’t learn their lesson. You can’t keep rewarding this bullshit so they get paid and then act surprised when they pull exactly the same shit. At some point, the blame is on you.
Most of their moneymakers are casual internet users who don’t care about any of this stuff and would only stop using reddit of it literally became unusable. If everyone who would be willing to use Lemmy stopped using reddit permanently right now they still wouldn’t care and would have plenty of users left.
That’s irrelevant. No one cares if Reddit cares right now. They start caring when it affects their bottom line and, as we’re already seeing, bot accounts and reposts that have taken over are hurting their bottom dollar because people aren’t seeing the ads. If you’re still going there, you’re helping them get paid.
Why are you still in a community that’s talking about reddit?
It shows up on the main feed because you people won’t stop bitching and pining about it like an ex that you can’t stop talking about to everyone within earshot.
So… block the community. Or do you enjoy all the cringe anime lewds and incel memes that make it to the main feed too?
Anyone who still uses the official reddit app at this point is just unsaveable
Yeah seriously, OP; WTF.
EDIT: Relay still works. If you have to use a reddit app, use that.
Redreader works as well due to the disability exemption.
Fucking assholes. Even Twitter lets you see your inbox with notifications.
Musk, observing from the corner: "write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN’
Fuck spez.
What if I told you you didn’t have to use reddit?
enshitification intensifies
This might be a server side error, actually. Here’s a comment from someone on r/redditmobile:
“For me, it displays the “no notifications” prompt. I think there is a server/app error that is causing notifications to not display. The “enable notifications and email” pop ups that occur when checking the activity screen might display instead of the “no notifications” box might appear if you do not have them enabled.”
Yeah, most of the time these type of things are either a server side or a cache issue.
I urge everyone to accept this, then flag every email as spam and just have it move to junk, that’s what I do on sites that enable predatory things with email
Or just block the whole email address
I report it/flag it as it can blacklist the domain server side due to reports
lmao that’s a good idea.
Here’s come another wave of Reddit refugees.
Haha. Anyone staying there at this point is getting what they deserve.
I stg Reddit is turning into xitter, feels like there are way more bigots and edgy racists, lgbt hate etc.
Fucking disgusting
Considering I took a suspension for “report abuse/harassment” for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.
“stg”?
I think it means Swear To God
Re*dit moment
Rexxit.
Redied moment
I can’t believe people on here use the official Reddit app that’s beyond trash. I visit Reddit once a week and it’s to the “old” subdomain with an adblocker.
Stop rewarding corporations for their piss poor behavior and decisions.
It sucked before too. Certain types of notification were only viewable in the app. If you had one, it would give you an orange envelope on the mobile site, but nothing new could be seen inside. And it wouldn’t even tell you what’s happening so I just wrote off the entire notification system as broken. So if I got a reply on Reddit I wouldn’t know because there’s no indication. I still won’t ever install the app and I’m now less likely to do so because I hate push notifications.
