My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use…

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

      If Reddit had a good UI I would return in a heartbeat. I’m sick of small, practically inactive communities for hobbies and these shallow, poorly developed calls for the end of capitalism being shoved down my throat.

        Well it’s a choice between freedom or corporate control. Freedom is never flashy at first, it only thrives when people embrace it.

        Well cheers to reddit for having a bad UI then, we love having you here.

        I really hope Lemmy grows out to also fill in the small inactive communities, a social media without corporate incentives to milk out the users has so much potential.

        Reddit has way more shallow poorly developed calls for the end of Capitalism.

          Reddit also has enough large communities that I don’t need to participate in the communities I don’t like. With lemmy, it’s either small communities or the constant braindead takes.

        Is this a popular opinion? I’m sort of shocked at the amount of upvotes this got tbh. Lemmy fulfills my reddit cravings, and honestly feels like a more mature community to me

      Unfortunately some studios, companies, etc. use it as an official or semi-official forum. I still lurk on AMD’s subreddit, for example.

        Which is funny when you compare it to the early days of Reddit, where people associated with a product were specifically prohibited from being in charge of their subreddit. It was to prevent the people who make a product from silencing criticism. Like if there’s a TV show, the show runners and studio weren’t allowed to moderate the community. If the show is hot garbage, the studio couldn’t use mods to silence the criticism via post/comment deletion, bans, etc… The entire point was for the subs to be run by the people who consume said product.

        But that has been entirely flipped, where there are official subs run by corporate PR firms.

      Yeah. Lemmy is tiny and doesn’t have the community to be good yet.

      I’m happy to be in both places for now, Reddit for more in-depth and interesting conversations. Lemmy is getting there but there’s many times when posts in my hobbies have no replies or 1 or 2. The community just isn’t there unless I want a glorified news rss feed.
