Can you guys help me cancel my Reddit Premium? I can’t seem to be able to find the feature on my profile, and the help pages of Reddit point me to a page where I can’t can’t see an option to manage subscriptions
I recently opened the app to ensure that it infact does not work anymore, but it just showed me the newest feed, like it did before. What is going on here? Are people funding this? Or have they switched to a third party API for read only?
This question may be moot but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve only recently jumped into this brave new world so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance....
It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...
For the first time ever, I’m getting Reddit notifications, outside of when I get a dm or a comment/post reply from someone. 🧐 Hmm, I wonder if that’s just coincidence…...
Well, had my content curated on Reddit and despised the recommendation stuff on the official app (that I never used lul). But now that I'm on a new platform, I want to have recommendations lol. The Random stuff on the sidebar's pretty neat, could've sworn Reddit has similar like 10 years ago.
That said, Lemmy is open source and that means if you really want something to change you can literally write the code yourself and make a pull request, and because we don’t have to appeal to anyone except the users, all options are on the table.
the feeling of dredd i’ve had (and i bet many are with me) since reddit announced the changes to the API and elon bought twitter, has been perfectly represented in this essay. Once again we migrate from a place where we built a community, because a bunch of greedy assholes can’t fathom a world where people embrace human...
One of the hurdles to change for users switching from reddit to a federated platform is less content. The logic goes: “smaller community, less content, I can see i’m missing out on stuff over there so I’m not going to switch away”....
For me, Apollo is reddit. U used reddit long before Apollo but Apollo was a game changer. I mostly browsed reddit on phone so without Apollo reddit is unusable....
A lot of people are boasting here like "well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma."
I'm not going to delete my account yet (but probably won't be posting anything on Reddit either). Instead, I came up with a Strange Hobby.
Because password managers are so ubiquitous and easy to use and everyone should use one, I somehow found a complete list of all Reddit throwaway accounts I had over the years. (You know, from back when you could create accounts in seconds and Reddit didn't make you sign a blood pact or whatever.)
So I've been deleting those accounts. There was a pile of them.
And I like to every time I delete an account, a little siren goes off in Reddit HQ and Spez is like "Aaaaagggh! Not another one!"
Good idea! Also, it’s not always about boasting - putting things into words makes it easier for certain kinds of brain to process them. For some people, the act of leaving snoosite isn’t enough to fully internalise it, they need to say goodbye. Which is fine, btw. :)
Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable....
