It's incredible that I was on reddit for 13 years or something, daily, maybe I spent 20'000 hours there. Then I dropped after the API fiasco (I'm a SyncPro user) and never went back, I have no clue what's going on since ~July and I don't care and I don't miss it :)
I’ve been using an app called voyager for lemmy and have it looking like my old Apollo app. I have no reason to return to Reddit.
Best thing, Voyager's a webapp/website in an app wrapper, and doesn't have more invasive permissions than I'd prefer too. And the interface is sleek af. I unfortunately have to use facebook on firefox mobile as well and that is atrocious. Wild.
Might want to give the Orion browser a whirl. It has some support for extensions to make the web less enshittified. I just came across it a week ago and I’ve been quite impressed.
Firefox mobile isn't atrocious, Facebook's support for mobile website is. Also, I'm sure Orion is a great browser but it touting itself for the dark web and having a 3.5 rating on the play store didn't particularly inspire confidence for me.
Ah, I use it in iOS because even Firefox doesn’t support its own extensions. Seems better than any other browser in iOS that I’ve tried. But on Android I’d probably go with Firefox.
I used sync for reddit pro when they announced they were moving to Lemmy. I was looking for a reddit alternative with the API stuff. Now I'm here with the UI I knew and loved, though I wish my pro account transfered over.
Yep. I forget I’m not using Apollo it’s such a good clone.
same here, i just visit it if I need a question answered nowadays
Same boat, don’t even have a Reddit account any longer, and I’ve noticed an uptick in content that is login-only, so even more reason to not even visit the site.
They've blocked my VPN so I can't even look at it anymore.
Same. I have a very low tolerance for companies that don't respect their customers/users. I hated New Reddit but fortunately old Reddit was (and is still) available. But thats a shit experience on mobile. And you can't use RES to make it better.
Samesies buddy
Same. And did the same with Digg prior to that.
I am also a Digg refugee from the infamous v4 in august/september 2010 !
Never heard of it. I left in 2007 during the infamous AACS key controversy
