A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.

google ads can easily be dns blocked, about reddit ads… yeah.
there’s a reason why I’ve been using an unofficial client.

jordanlund,

Revanced

    RaoulDook,

    That’s great and everybody should do that, but it’s beside the point that an app running code on your device is there. It’s even better to do all of the above and still not use the bullshit apps when there is a website available.

    I use GrapheneOS and I still don’t install anybody’s app. Discounts on hamburgers with an app? Fuck that. No app for you.

    Actually yeah I do install some apps, but most are open source from F-Droid.

    skeleton_truper66,

    I didn’t know you could do that tbh

    Teritz,

    Same here i thought the API changes killed old reddit.

    Don’t visit their stupid website

    Their next claim: Use our app or it will rain all day!

    Rawdogg,

    Don’t forget to leave a review in the app/play store

    I’d never go back to Reddit again if the several game projects I beta test for in my spare time would migrate over to lemmy.

    Littleborat,

    Their app is such a pain though. Nofap challenge imposed by reddit. I am on day 30 already.

    jetsetdorito,

    I relapsed when I found out you can patch in your own key to still use third party apps 😬

    Littleborat,

    How do I patch my key into RiF?

    MaoWasRight,

    Can I use RIF?

    frostyfrog,

    You’ve got my attention. Lack of third party apps is what keeps me away…

    orsetto,

    maybe the fediverse is a nice place, while the mainstream platforms are just for dopamine

    psmgx,

    dopamine

    This is a classy way of saying porn

    RVGamer06,

    Sure, but not only.

    RVGamer06,

    Exactly.

    JohnEdwa,

    I went from 100+ subs down to just 9, but some communities simply don’t exist in lemmy.

    Vespair,

    If you moderated a sub before the API ban and used the Boost app, then Boost still works for you. Thank god for my tiny sub.

    c0mbatbag3l,
    @c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

    Most of the niche subs don’t have equivalents here.

    Sir_Fridge,

    Look if reddit has the most useful information on a google search then reddit it is. Doesn’t mean I’m actively browsing it.

    Dicska,

    I still start my search with site:reddit.com when looking for an answer. I just prefer opening the cached hits so that traffic doesn’t go to reddit but Google instead. Not like there weren’t problems with Google, but this is the closest I can get to “punishing” Reddit but also getting an answer to my question.

    jigsaw250,

    Yep, right now, using a search engine with Reddit in the query is still the best option to find an answer to something. Maybe Lemmy fits that in time, but until then, Reddit it is.

    Dettweiler42,

    We don’t go to Ravenholm.

    Grass,

    Invisible what?

    Metal_Zealot,
    @Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

    Lol you went back for the porn

    CluckN,

    If Lemmy was better for Porn Reddit would’ve been abandoned by now.

    Zehzin,
    @Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

    Give them a break, porn on the internet is notoriously difficult to find.

    Lev_Astov,
    @Lev_Astov@lemmy.world avatar

    Wtf does “unreviewed” even mean? Are they waiting for some board to approve communities now?

    LostDeer,

    I usually see that on subreddits with LGBT focused content.

    HiddenLayer5, (edited )
    @HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

    It’s basically corporate speak for “fuck you use our app”

    ComradeR,

    Does it work in +18 subs too? I tried to see a comment thread In a post of a LGBTQ subreddit, but the post/sub (idk what one) was flagged as mature content, that requires an account to login and read, and I wasn’t able to read them.

    It was about gender symbols! Not p*rn, before someone ask…

    adeoxymus,

    Yes

    dasgoat,

    That’s why you have a porn account

    dislocate_expansion,

    what’s the difference between old.reddit and reddit? and why does reddit support old.reddit?

    isolatedscotch,

    one is the old, better, unrestricted ui (old) normal reddit is the new ui, with intrusive ads, mobile app popups, age restrictions etc

    XTornado,

    Why they support it still is truly a mistery with all the API stuff and so on… It’s a miracle it’s still available.

    CriticalMiss,

    Rumor has it some of the higher ups don’t like the new UI either.

    someguy3,

    Old Reddit has good formatting.

    Makeitstop,

    Old.reddit is reddit from a time when it was designed with user experience in mind, rather than trend chasing and maximizing ad placement.

    I’ve heard that the reason old.reddit is still supported is because new reddit can’t run without it. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if the developers of new reddit were pushed to rush something out to meet demands from higher up, and therefore didn’t make something clean and severable. I mean, we’re talking about a site whose video player wants to load every resolution at once on every video you scroll past in an infinite feed, my expectations aren’t terribly high.
