I also find this hilarious. If they claim their content to be reviewed now that will be legally disadvantagous with all the nsfw, gore and grey-legal stuff on their site.
There were some tiny subs I checked out on mobile browser where I got this like a year ago. SO it's not exactly new. But yeah they were so tiny that it's plausible they didn't have an active mod.
Tbh lemmy seems more reddity to me. Kbin has the whole microblogging thing too, which differentiates it more imo, tho kbin does seem to be faster and less glitchy (when the servers are up lol)
Same, though you can follow all the kbin instances from any lemmy account federated with kbin, which is what I do (this is my kbin account, but I'm still subbed to all the same stuff on my lemmy accounts, except my lemmy.world account, which is basically useless since the beehaw defederation, so I don't use it anymore)
Okay, I've done some research and looked at beehaw directly. I support their reasons for defederating, but I don't think I'm particularly missing out with my personal use of lemmy. If that changes I'll probably migrate (because hopefully that's a feature by that time)
I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps
Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs
Depends which instance you're on. Lemmy.ml was giving me lots of problems, but I get the feeling the lemmy.ee admin is really on top of things so that's my main now.
Someone suggesting a RIF like client got Lemmy is what got me to make the jump over. If Apollo and/or RIF just support other communities, it's enough to steal a lot of the anti y users
Someone on github is making a translation layer to convert reddit API calls to Lemmy API calls. If that ends up working well, it could be as easy as changing the API URL to make reddit clients work for lemmy
yeah reddit can suck it. There’s a work around with Apollo that allows you to easily open the page in Apollo when you see this pop up. But no more after 30th. Instead for those who have iOS you can use this google cache shortcut. Just hit the share button, and click get cache and it will open up a cached version of the page. It’s works quickly and haven’t had any issues yet. Works for subreddits that went dark too.
You can also add https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache: before the reddit link if the post isn't on the wayback machine for whatever reason.
This is great. Until the Fediverse amasses more content, Reddit is still the best way to get answers from Google that aren't just SEO nonsense. Great way to still use Reddit results without using Reddit.
I've had this happen before while browsing in a mobile browser, not sure why it does this other than trying to force people to use the app. You can turn on desktop browsing, this is a feature in Firefox and Chrome at least and is a toggle.
Um thats actually been there for a while. If you don't use their app and are on a mobile browser, they'll fucking nag you to download the app. I've seen this for several years, have nothing to do with lemmy / the fediverse. You can view in desktop mode and there will be no issues. Specifically you'll have to use old.reddit.com to bypass this
Makes perfect sense. While Reddit thought the protest would last two days, they were calm. When a protest becomes long-term, it is natural that Reddit will develop a long-term suffering to protect their property.
When I clicked on the image, I thought that it had taken me to Reddit and my mobile was warning me against viewing Reddit! I was like, “Thanks, phone!”
