Reddit is requiring manual admin approval to make /r’s private, eliminating the main mechanism for the last sitewide protest agains changes to the API.

Reddit's spam filters are the worst in my opinion. They filtered me yesterday on a 7 day old account, that could previously post without issues. Anyone else has the same problem? I deleted my account on Reddit and migrated to fediverse because of this.

Hello Lemmy! Today is the day that I leave reddit for lemmy. I still plan on using reddit on my phone, as my reason for switching is that the Gen 3 UI sucks and they stopped letting you use Gen 2. If they revert that decision than I might switch back, but with the way things have been going, It's probably unlikely that I will change back.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has hinted that in future some subreddits could be paywalled, as the company seeks to devise new sources of income.

He suggested that the company might experiment with paywalled subreddits as it looks to monetize new features. “I think the existing, altruistic, free version of Reddit will continue to exist and grow and thrive just the way it has,” Huffman said. “But now we will unlock the door for new use cases, new types of subreddits that can be built that may have exclusive content or private areas, things of that nature.”

This is another move likely to anger Redditors. While the platform is a commercial enterprise, its value derives almost entirely from freely offered user content. That means Redditors feel at least some sense of ownership in a community endeavour, so the company needs to tread carefully when it comes to monetization at user expense.

I'd been using the Joey app to keep tabs on a few subreddits I'm fond of. It finally stopped working today.

Been on Lemmy since day -5 of the API fiasco. Was excited to recognize the unnecessary inventions guy while scrolling, only to be super disappointed when I realized it was a TikTok ad! ☹️

i'm gonna need some advance notice if a super secret step squad comes here

That's the endgame we've been warning about.

On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn't five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you'd be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn't use proper bracketing or whatever you'd get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.

What is this product, and what does it do?

Reddit Account Manager allows you to keep track of all of your accounts, subreddit subscriptions, and bookmarks—all in one place.

How does this product help me?

Reddit Account Manager acts as a database repository for your Reddit accounts, so that if and when you decide to delete your Reddit account, you have your accounts, subscriptions, and bookmarks all in one place. With Reddit Account Manager, you'll:

• Know exactly when you created every account
• Know how much post/comment karma each account has
• Know when it's time to delete an account
• Have all your subscriptions mapped out and ready to go for the next account you create
• Save all your bookmarks, even if your accounts are long gone
• Know when an account is active, deleted, or not created yet

Why did you build this product?

Despite many Redditors' desires to delete their accoun

MSOutlookit is a "skin" for Reddit that makes it look like Outlook. In case the joke isn't clear it makes it easier to hide Reddit browsing at work from folks looking over your shoulder. http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/

It's just super disheartening to see Reddit themselves show this off after killing third party apps.

many of the subreddits I follow on reddit still do not have active communities on lemmy - this app fixes that itch. source code is here - https://github.com/panigrah/lurkit

After dumping Reddit what I find most refreshing is not having to add the /s when making a sarcastic comment, as I am wont to do.

I only recall one instance so far of someone yelling at me in a reply, completely oblivious to my point.

Error: Forbidden first appeared on August 2

RiF started working again a few hours later

Is now appearing again on August 3

As a 12 yr Reddit lurker, Geddit fits all my needs. It sidesteps the api using rss feeds and other technical stuff I don't know about. You can view posts and comments. Favorite subreddits. But can't post/comment/vote. I'm trying my hand at engaging more on lemmy, but for more content, Geddit is perfect for me.
