The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because “you can scroll past the ads”, which completely misses the point
Ive seen a post in programming dev instance that those posts we were seeign, shilling for reddit was proven to be astroturfed using LLM to generate the pro reddit reply
And all it did was make Reddit even worse. If that was spez’s best attempt at user retention, then no wonder the Reddit experience keeps going down the drain.
I had the Reddit app installed alongside boost. I deleted the official app last month and said that when boost dies, there goes my 10 year association with reddit.
Here I am. I really hope Lemmy becomes something special because this far, it is filling that doom scrolling void that reddit filled for me
Boost was the sole way of using reddit. Now if I REALLY need to find something on reddit, I’ll do that on old reddit, on my PC. Will save a lot of time by not being on that shit app.
Reddit “shut down” API access by disabling the ability to authenticate users. Everything else on the API is still fully functional. Of course, without being logged in it’s a read only API.
RIF is never going to pay $0.24 per 1,000 API requests. Which means Reddit isn’t going to allow those API requests to continue for long. They will shut it down even when you’re logged out.
Way to pick the busiest screen. Popular? Who uses that option anyway… has that Trending panel at the top making it look like a circus. App defaults to Home, which is much cleaner. Nice you picked the absolute worst screen possible.
I usually find the app and the web site are usually essentially the same on most platforms, plus most apps are designed for data farming, so to me, most apps are moot in function, and nothing but a security hole. You’re going to have to do better than just not interrupting me as I come in to announce your app to get me to use it.
