There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.
Do you feel like youre cheating on then fediverse
yes, without an account just for local/niche subs that don’t exist anywhere else
and that only because I have rif working via revanced.
if I am ever forced to see their shitty ads I’ll stop doing even that
not sure how it works really, I had to create an app API key and input that into revanced and it just worked. I just followed the steps it was pretty easy.
can’t log in, but participating there is pointless anyway
I believe they turned off the API restrictions for moderators. So Boost (and I assume other third party apps) still works for me because I created a private subreddit and made myself a moderator.
I’ll continue to lurk until Spez realizes and blocks my access but I deleted all my comments and posts and don’t plan on adding any new free content to their site.
I’m sure it’s just a caching issue but, infuriatingly, some of my old comments appear randomly and I have to go in and delete them all over again.
No. I don’t use Lemmy nearly as much but I took it as an opportunity to reduce my doom scrolling. I left in the first week after Apollo made the announcement. I have honestly noticed a big improvement in my life overall.
There’s a decent reader for Reddit via RSS feeds on fdroid called Geddit. I use it to browse some porn and also certain discussions, but of course you can’t interact with RSS so it’s just for observing.
