You son of a removed, I'm in too.

Reddit's official app, and in fact Reddit's official website is a hugely compromised experience, and I suspect the only reason they haven't gone further is that they don't want to push people to the alternatives. However this latest move to restrict the available alternatives seems like the beginning of the end to me and their app and site are only going to get worse.

That's why I'm here at least!

I hate the official app with the fire of 1,000 suns. So if my only options are using the official app or leaving the site completely I’m leaving completely✌️

Dat Lemmy puss feels so much tighter tho

I'm only a 6 year clubber on Reddit, but using RIF for most of it, couldn't stand how the app was going. Nowadays it's the content as well. Going to be exploring around here now

I have a question. As most of you probably already know, i reached that level on reddit where karma can be converted 1:1 to dollars (not that hard tbh), but here looks like there's no karma to farm? How can I pay my rent?

This might be added in an future update? This place will change alot coming months for sure.

I'd rather crawl the 20 extra miles to a new community (and did) than use that app again. It's that bad. The reviews on Google Play are very telling. It's just a buggy mess.

old.reddit.com on a mobile browser is still 100 times better than the "official" reddit app.

[-] tmpod@lemmy.pt 0 points 1 year ago

Despite it not being available through i.reddit.com, compact mode is still reachable at reddit.com/.i, and I find it even better than old reddit for mobile.

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

I had no idea. I had never even seen this until today

[-] tmpod@lemmy.pt 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Always learning ;)
Hopefully reddit won't take it down

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

tried it out, doesn't seem to actually be usable for anything other than reading the home page not logged in and links thereof. For example I can't https://reddit.com/.i/r/Cricket or similar

[-] tmpod@lemmy.pt 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The ideal is to append that /.i at the end of the URL. Like so: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/.i

Edit: which also works for login: https://www.reddit.com/login/.i

THANKS! Just in time for it not to matter anymore :-P

[-] boot20@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Reddit's official app and new reddit are awful experiences and actively hostile to the user. It's nice to see a site that understands this.

[-] t0ny@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I hate new reddit so much. I just opened it. On my 1440p monitor I see 3 posts. Old reddit I can see 18 posts on one page.

[-] manned_meatball@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I never understood this argument. I can't read more than one post at a time anyways and images are not immediately visible in the list view. What makes you want 18 posts visible at once?

[-] Gork@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

So you can select the post you want to actually look at instead of having to scroll and scroll to find one that interests you. Like in a classical forum post, essentially.

[-] t0ny@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

That and I have tendonitis so less scrolling past crap I don't care about means I have less pain / no pain.

About a decade ago, Logitech had this awesome mouse with a freewheel spinning middle mouse button. It allowed for a long spin after release and was excellent for up and down scrolling on a large page. Sadly they don't seem to be made anymore. They were really fun.
