Well, I guess they don't want me lurking anymore. Good bye, Reddit. We had some good times.

(For context, I cannot scroll more than 3 posts before Reddit asks me to install the app and there isn't a way to clear that screen.)

It goes away for me if I open it in a private tab in Mobile FF. I have no idea why.

New cookies, probably.

Yep. No idea why anyone would want to advertise with a company that hides their ads behind a paywall either

https://old.reddit.com/ still seems to be working (for now)…

Long, long time Reddit user. Want to ditch because of this bs. But I’m very, very new to lemmy. Just downloaded Voyager and subscribed to all things immediately available. but don’t really know what to do next. How do I add more content?excited but nervous because I don’t understand how it all works.

Start posting content to /c's you're interested in.

It's also worth signing up to a few other instances and looking around as you're going to be exposed to communities that you'd otherwise miss what with the various federation between platforms and whatnot. Piefed is a good one as it autosubscribes you to a fuck ton of /c's right off the bat.

I remember signing up for Reddit in my middle school library, way back when we were all still shitting on digg. It's wild to have seen it fall so far.

Unfortunately I need to sign-in to use old reddit now. Haven't made a reddit account yet and it looks like I'm giving up lurking and checking random reddit links from a web search over starting now.

I like to browse All to find all the random communities around here. I don't know Voyager specifically, but you can usually just go to a community page and click submit. There's one that posts new (and I think) trending communities - I'll come back with an edit

Edit: !newcommunities@lemmy.world

This is great news! I appreciate how Reddit is taking the initiative to spread awareness of the Fediverse. Bravo to them!

Huh - I’d heard that was coming but checked it before commenting. I was able to browse it logged out. Must be only partially rolled out.

What I’ve found is with Lemmy there just isn’t enough community content to browse based on subscriptions like I did on Reddit.

I browse All or Local and block(or ignore) communities that don’t interest me.

Yeah I used to actively avoid /r/all on reddit but on Lemmy I pretty much never leave it because even though there's endless content here, its not nearly to the scale of reddit. But I like it and have been here exclusively for three years now :)

Browse All. I never did this on Reddit but it’s the only thing I do here.

I used Reddit for over a decade and quit cold turkey when the API got removed. Nothing has given me the same feeling since, but frankly Reddit hasn’t either for maybe half of those years.

The site grew up alongside me and was an important thing for me to learn about tons and tons and tons of new things.

Lemmy has less content, and that’s okay. Open Lemmy, run out of content, like just finish for the day and then get up and do something else. We have about 75 years of functional brains give or take, your life won’t be meaningfully enriched by throwing an extra two hours a day into a link aggregator.

Welcome to the community community. Nothing will be the same as early Reddit and especially not Reddit, so don’t chase that high. You’ll be fine

That's why I'm here.

Not worth it on the phone, especially as fucking spez is forcing people to use the app and lock them into that walled garden.

Best to use it with Firefox, along with RES and uBlock Origin.

Just know if you post to a new and even empty outside of you community here you are likely to get comments still, reddit your posts get lost in to the void

Use ublock origin lighting bolt maybe? Block that cell? Hasn't happened to me yet.

Yeah, I had thought most people here recognized that the end was 3 years ago, if not longer, but I'm happy they're at least being forced to commit now. You don't need the endless stream of slop that is Reddit. Spend 30 minutes going through the last 6 hours of Lemmy posts, then go do something else instead.

Just keep subscribing to things :)

We have this guide for how to do that more easily:

If you must use Reddit, download RedReader.

How to browse all on Lemmy?

For me, using Boost, I can either tap at the top (which has whatever feed I'm currently browsing) or open the left side bar.

or fatbird

Have nkt tried it but would ublock -> block Javascript work?

Sites are getting better at frustrating users who remove elements from pages, so I expect that Reddit would have implemented the latest tech.

But perhaps more importantly, this is about mobile, not desktop, so there's no uBO anyway.

Edit: Didn't read my source properly at all. My bad.

Firefox mobile has unlock origin.

Didn't block this, and yeah the elements needed to block this behavior is tricky. Because if it's not just a full screen modal it's actually disabling your scrolling and taps

Welp. I've altered my comment to reflect my mistake.

What are all the pictures and what do they have to do with reddit?

Voyager’s main page has sections for All, Home, and Local. You can even select which one to open by default in the settings

It's Reddit being a parasite and pretending all the user content on their site is somehow only possible thanks to an insufferable company that censors the crap out of everything.

Thank you... I'm liking Boost

Works for Hulu, though

That's what I do. Maybe that's why they are trying to free me... I mean, punish me

Redrum?

Welcome to Lemmy. I would be your guide, but you are probably in a different instance and use a different app

The bird is the word

Breaks the website
