I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else?
Just realized that the other day....

ausin-hfc402, I love kbin more the reddot
Just realized that the other day....
umbraroze, As I recall, Reddit really dragged their heels in implementing GDPR-mandated data checkouts, citing technical challenges and privacy issues, but I'm sure it was more about the technical challenges and laziness (old codebase that has kind of sucked since forever and they're not keen on touching it). This was when the law went into effect in 2018.
I requested archives of my data from Reddit as per GDPR a few weeks ago, and it's still pending. And the page said "oh, uh, we'll provide them within 30 days." ...which is well within the letter of the law, if not the spirit. Other sites I've requested my data from can provide it within days, usually.
All I can say as someone who's been perplexed about Reddit's tech side for a long time is that it's pretty damn emblematic of the whole site.
We reach a new low every day...
Hello All,...
Keep up the good work r/pics, this last one had me wondering if you were actually r/maliciouscompliance !
This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.
This is an article by Cat Valente during the Twitter Migration, discussing the cycle of enschittification and the history of social media....
umbraroze, Like many others, I've been wondering "Hmm, where the heck do I get all the cute animal pictures now?"
...but the answer to that question was staring me right in the face.
I'd just do what I've always done if I want cute animal pictures.
I mean, Pinterest is right there.
Reject subredditery, embrace tradition.
z3n0x, Pinterest ist just more of the same corporate social b.s.
umbraroze, @z3n0x Very true! But at least it's always been a place to dump random images and never really pretended to be a "community" beyond that.
A comprehensive mapping of old subreddits to new communities.
I'm considering rewriting all of my comments, but I want to do this carefully and correctly because I'd eventually want to delete the account, so I wouldn't be able to make changes...
u/Awkwardtheturtle somehow posting an update on her reddit ban ... on reddit itself if i'm reading the pic correctly. Not sure how that's possible, maybe someone saw an edited post from her?
Web visits to top 5 #Kbin and #Lemmy servers over last 30 days...
“We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.”...
Hi all,...
😂 amazing act of malicious compliance! fuck spez
User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb....

Robotoboy, I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I'm trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I'm loving this new protocol so much. It's quiet...
It feels similar to the early 2000's internet and I'm loving it.
Ghostalmedia, My only problem is how defederation is handled.
For example, last night I submitted a post to memmy@lemmy.ml. My wife then wanted to comment on the post.
She has a Beehaw.org account and I have a lemmy.world account. She couldn’t see my post because beehaw defederated from lemmy.world.
tunetardis, A better RSS experience
I've been playing around with RSS views of the fediverse hoping to get something comparable to multireddits, but there is a problem.
First of all, it is possible to get reddit feeds on both kbin and lemmy. The URLs look like:
https://KBIN_INSTANCE/rss?magazine=MAGAZINE_NAME https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/feeds/c/COMMUNITY_NAME?sort=new
Unfortunately, these are problematic when dealing with instances that are not your home instance. Any links to the post page will be absolute remote instance URLs, which means you cannot interact with the post (e.g. leave a comment). The URL really needs to be made relative to your home instance for that to work, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fix that for a specific post. I can only fix the URL to the magazine/community itself and then hope to locate the post within it again.
If there is a way to get home instance-relative RSS feeds, I'm all ears! Failing that, I might work on a scraper that can take URLs of the form:
https://KBIN_INSTANCE/m/MAGAZINE_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE
and generate RSS feeds out of them? But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something like this is already possible?
It might also be useful to someone trying to write an app with a multireddit-type feature? I will definitely release source if I come up with anything.
EDIT: fixed a typo in URLs
BobQuasit, Infinity going subscription-only!
This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.
That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!
NekoRogue, I have auto update turned off for apps, so I didn't get the last update for Infinity and I can still use it to see Reddit, for now. Once it dies I'm out though. I can't imagine they will be able to get enough subscriptions to support the app, so I'm not really sure what the goal is here.
The Infinity listing in the Play store links to this post that has a bit more info (warning: Reddit link) https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/147bhsg/the_future_of_infinity/
Even the people subbed to r/Infinity_For_Reddit are saying they won't buy a subscription. Wouldn't Infinity be racking up a huge bill from Reddit once the API change goes into effect? There's no way subscriptions will cover that so I don't understand why they're doing this.
