Not as long as they can’t deprecate old.reddit lol
Fuck u/spez
My favorite part about Reddit is they have ongoing contracts with google and open ai to scrape all their content live for training
But the fediverse can be scraped for free
I’m sure they are already running lurker instances with custom code for this very purpose.
Hi everyone, this was the last straw for me. Can anyone point me in the direction of the porn?
try fedinsfw.app
Just use it. You will never see an ad if that is the only thing you are looking at.
Go to Bluesky. I think due to the size of the Fediverse its porn content is infinitesimally smaller than Reddits. To flab my cheeks together and speak out of my ass locally hosting explicit content on a home server is also too risky. The low content available + search complexity makes googling boobs a better option.*gestures in the general direction of the entire internet *
This is the thing that gets me. It’s kind of a double edged sword using an underground community like Lemmy. I still use Reddit for nsfw (God bless red reader) because the normie girls haven’t migrated over here yet. There is such a mature community of self posting NSFW content that I haven’t found anywhere else on the Internet like it tbh.
Yep
There simply isn’t anywhere here for me to post the content that I create
then make it
create a community
I don’t care enough
Fuck you, spez.
Whispering slurs from your mom’s basement don’t help.
Bros we need a better lemmy plan.
More content. And making spez super sad and poor.
Someone needs to build a Firefox extension to periodically poll best content from subreddits they like and automatically repost to lemmy. Automatically.
So there are tons more content on lemmy. U get it?Not self hosted docker - most people won’t bother setting up residential proxies and fight bans, no - just a real browser, simple extension and simple settings, with legit ublock and auto reposting to lemmy. This way people don’t have to do shit and content would just transfer.
It’s fair use because it’s for ai.
This will make spez sad and poorer. Let’s do this
I get what you say, but people already mirror Reddit posts on Lemmy, and post Lemmy content on Reddit
“More bot spam!”
How bout fuckin no.
Get only the most upvoted content bro.
But the upvotes come from bots.
With a dull, rusty, red hot spoon.
You can get around it, there’s literally a Reddit how to post xD
I’m not getting that pop-up but it’s probably blocked by my browser. I’ll still continue to use it in my browser while also using Lemmy. I hope more people are going to join the Fediverse due to this.
I find it does this off and on. If you change the user agent or open the site in desktop mode itvsuddenly goes away. They are still tryingbto push the app. And the app still looks terrible. Rif used to be my jam.

I guess it died around the same time that its name became a false statement.
RIF then Apollo, though Apollo really set the standard.
Not only does the app look terrible, it’s able to collect much more juicy data from you.
This might explain why my RSS reader sometimes breaks. All I go to Reddit for via RSS is to read shitposts about my shitty baseball team, anyway. My cardiac health would be better if I just quit.
Sports shitposts when the team is doing awful is such an amazing coping mechanism. Some really creative stuff comes out.
Mets fan? 😇
Is that why lemmy.world is now shitting the bed every third load like it’s under a DDOS?
My bad
Oh shit, it all makes sense now. Was on .world earlier this morning and thought DDOS for sure. Slow af and dropping requests.
I think we should call it, “your grave!”
If you are still active on Reddit after all the enshitification, you are enshitified and getting furious is no longer an option.
Theres only so much one man can do to prop up a community. Reddit is still where you have to go for anything even remotely niche, since Reddit is thousands of times the size of the Fediverse. For example, if you wanted to get an alternative to the Dota 2 subreddit, you’d need a community maybe a 10th the size of Reddit’s Dota 2 community - equivalent to 5% of the Fediverse posting on a weekly basis. Right now, its roughly 0.0004% of the Fediverse, for reference.
Is this platform the best alternative?
I genuinely miss having discussions with Maga people. Even though the conversations are rarely productive, I still have hope that my comments will sometimes give that person (or a Maga lurker) some food for thought that could potentially get the ball rolling for them to eventually find rationality and basic decency.
However, I haven’t found any places to have those types of civil conversations on here.
Let me try to help.
Listen up, blue hair, soy boy, beta cuck. I’ll gladly pay out the ass for gas so trans people don’t get to place 4th place in college badminton that I was previously unaware of.
Does that do it for you?
Most of them on Reddit are bots dude.
Current outlook issues are currently being talked about at length over on r/Outlook, and last I searched no one had even mentioned it on Lemmy.
There are definitely some legit reasons people still go there.
I view Reddit for that kind of stuff, still. But don’t participate.
At risk of posting a long list of grievences, well, I’m not giving them my engagement. And for reference/issue stuff, you largely don’t need it.
Who on lemmy uses outlook???
Loving FOSS and being able to use it are different things - plenty of people are required to use outlook at work.
I use Outlook for work, but it will be a cold day in hell when you catch me reading an Outlook subreddit
I understand why people on lemmy look at the outlook subreddit. Sometimes they have to use it at work, and outlook breaks in difficult to understand ways. Poor chaps
Literally anyone who works at a company they don’t own with more than 20 employees.
That sounds like a work problem on the work computer for the work IT people to fix. Don’t get tricked into fixing the boss’s electronics for free on your own time!
but I AM the work IT people and I DON’T understand it EITHER!!!
Good news! 70+% of the exorbitant costs your company is paying for these services are strictly for the benefit of having a big, prominent 3rd party to blame and throat to choke.
Make Microsoft fix it! That should be fun.
My job requires it.
Same… though I guess the alternative would just be Google anyway…
Is someone who has been enshitified an enshitiphile?
Wouldn’t that mean someone who likes enshitification? Which is what OP implied. But using the term enshitified means the person themselves has gone through the enshitification process. Maybe then one implies the other?

I’m new and enjoying the rarity of morons compared to Reddit.

With posts like that, I’m sure you are approached a lot.

There’s also people who are and have been involved in interests for a long time that are well covered by discussion on Reddit and Facebook.
We like to give these networks shit and justifiably so but unfortunately there are no genuine alternatives for things like Marketplace, Facebook groups and subreddits in terms of complex discussion.
I buy used all the time and once never used fb marketplace. I promise you it’s easier to replace than reddit.
Unfortunately it’s captured a lot of information and resources.
Think about crafting - I’m going to find a lot more knitting tutorials on Reddit than I will here. Lemmy is very like early Reddit, where it’s only really active on topics like politics and technology.
And a LOT of really odd niche stuff. The biggest nerds migrated to here.
To be fair, I was totally lost even as a Reddit veteran, for quite a while, which is why my adoption to Lemmy was slow. It took me a very long time to really start to understand how the federation worked, and I still would not say I’m an expert in any way.
I still need to use mobile apps’ auto-fill features to help myself properly tag users and communities on other instances, an issue I never one had on Reddit.
That’s our intellectual property! For various values of “intellectual”.
What do you need to craft in your life besides building the perfect Linux distro? /s
On a side note, how do you find Reddit vs Ravelry for knitting?
Two toooootally different formats.
Ravelry is a archive (want to know the attributes of any yarn or errata on any pattern ever?), project journal, occasionally interactive (imo the forum/groups can be dead).
Knittit is just FO’s and chat (chat good for exchanging technique knowledge).
Just search on one of the AIs that scraped Reddit.
I’m sorry were we not just talking about trying to get back on Reddit?
Enough with the anti-AI bs, it’s cringe.
Enough with pretending AI is useful for looking things up, it’s cringe.
It’s a lot more than using Reddit’s search engine.
You’re willing to use Reddit but not AI?
I’d rather use Reddit than AI, yes.
If someone says something incorrect on Reddit there’s a good chance there’s someone pointing it out. AI will insist it is correct when it tells you “strawberry” has 2 “R’s”.
If someone says something incorrect on Reddit there’s a good chance there’s someone pointing it out.
There’s a very small chance of someone pointing it out. There’s a better chance they’ll be downvoted. There’s an even better chance someone right will be downvoted and someone pointing out their mistake, incorrectly, will be upvoted.
You can’t be serious if you’re telling me you’re going to use Reddit comments as a reliable source of information, but then ideologically object to the idea of using an LLM for the same purpose.

Have you used AI in the past year?

I’m saying Reddit is more reliable than AI. I agree with you that you shouldn’t just trust Reddit as a reliable source of information, I just trust AI much less.
Have you used AI in the past year?
Yes yes, someone has hard-coded a fix for the strawberry thing. It’s still an excellent example of the root issue:
-
it was a thing everybody knew was incorrect and they could see how AI dealt with it: guessing, and then insisting it made no mistakes.
If I can’t trust it for basic information I can double check myself then why the fuck would I trust it for information I can’t verify myself? -
everytime something like this comes up it gets “fixed”, sure. Someone hard codes a correct answer to the specific question that everyone can easily see is incorrect. Why the fuck would I assume that’s happening for some obscure thing that I don’t immediately know is incorrect?
Sure, it’s probably not telling people to put glue on pizza anymore, because everyone who reads that knows it’s a bad idea. How do I know it’s not suggesting something equally stupid when I ask it how to rewire a thermostat, something that the majority of people won’t immediately clock as “that will burn your house down”?
LLMs are really good at sounding smart to people who don’t know when it is very wrong.

I mean yeah, if i can’t browse reddit on my mobile browser I guess i’ll just have to find something else to do but i just checked then and it still worked
I like lemmy but there is just not enough content, it’s like if reddit was youtube, lemmy is dailymotion, there’s just not enough content for me to stick just here
the main comm I use on reddit is /c/nrl and it’s completely dead here :\
If browsing is all you need, I’m quite content with Stealth.

Well, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Ghandi. Keep cross-posting stuff from there to here. It takes real work to build up massive, highly active communities. Lemmy is a nonprofit so it doesn’t have the marketing power of Reddit. We have to grow it ourselves and usage is the biggest way.
i have nearly 3000 comments, this is the same number of comments as i made on reddit in 15 years, i have over 1000 posts which is 990 more than i made on reddit
in 2 years the population of aussie.zone has gone from 158 daily active users to 155
it is what it is
Dang… That sucks… Pin a paper saying “Leave Reddit for Aussie.zone” to community bulletin boards over there, maybe lol!

“I stole my girlfriend’s dog and emptied her bank account without her knowledge and now she’s mad at me for some reason. AITA?”
“My (25F) bf (61M) burned down my house after he got mad at me for ‘not being servile enough’. I asked him to please consider thinking about a plan to try not to do this again, but he won’t promise. This seems wrong but I’m not sure. AIO?”
If you don’t intend to post/comment, Stealth is a decent read-only Reddit client.
RedReader too.
If you don’t want to host it yourself, https://redlib.catsarch.com/ is an alternative.
I use libredirect for both Twitter/X and Reddit. And I only use libredirect for websites that are unfriendly if I don’t use their app or aren’t signed in.
You don’t have to host an instance of the Stealth server in order to use the Stealth client. It is awesome that you have that option if you want/need to, but the flagship public instance works just fine:
stealth.cosmosapps.orgRedlib is for web browsers when I accidentally navigate to reddit. Stealth is a full android app you have to install.
An other decent option is Infinity For Reddit https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit I really like it
That was my go-to back when I used Reddit, and stopped when the API restriction was announced. As this is not just a read-only client, how does this get around the API restriction? Are users required to take steps to create a developer API key or whatever?
Someone contact the mods of that subreddit and tell them to point to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of lemmy.world
I might if I could figure out how to log into their fucking app. Apparently you can’t log in with a username anymore?
I’d imagine ublock origin could forever close that pop-up.
It happens in mobile browser only so ublock is not an option, at least on iphone. It’s also not even a pop up. It freezes while you’re scrolling like a paywall on a news site. Seems like desktop mode may help and there could be other workarounds, but it’s such an obnoxious move by Reddit that it will cause a mass exodus.
Thankfully ublock works just fine in Firefox for android and its derivatives. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t use the mobile web either without it, and then my phone would exist only to mfa things at work.
Yeah this is one thing i really miss about android. Im suprised Apple users have just raw dogged the internet for so long? Why does apple allow adblock?
This is every companies dark patterns.
Guess who doesn’t intentially ruin user experience ? Foss .
Well, most of them… Can’t be perfect.

“it just works”
Same thing why people still use Microsoft, Still pay for Netflix, spotify, etc. It sucks but it just works for them. They also don’t want to “learn” something new and/or different.
Plus people just love to complain, misery loves company.
