Geddit is an open-source, Reddit client for Android without using their API. Many devs are working smart to bring us the content without API. Nitter is back, now Geddit.🍻

Fuck Reddit, and fuck u/spez.

[-] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

That's good to know, but Reddit is a passed station here.

Staying here, nise and cosy.

[-] PeefJerky@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Okay, I will only go use Reddit when i require information that will be available there and I can’t find it anywhere else.

Lemmy has been nice to me, I find this a better place.

That's cool and everything, but if it's scraping the site they'll block that shit straight away, they've already said as much and scraper blocking is relatively easy to do these days.

Good luck though.

appears to be an RSS feed reader built for Reddit, rather than just scraping the site. This'll likely last quite a long time, I don't see Reddit killing their rss functionality anytime soon.

Interesting, what does Reddit even use an RSS feed for? I'm trying to figure out why they'd even have that still going today and coming up empty.

RSS users tend to be valuable customers as once they’ve subscribed they rarely leave. Users tend to use aggregators that provide high density feeds covering large amounts of content. Once they’ve subscribed you, as a content producer, will likely remain in their field of view for years to come. Even if they only end up interacting with your content a couple times a month it contributes to your monthly user stats and keeps driving those ad revenues with near zero retention costs.

It’s also a very efficient way for making your content visible to search engines and crawlers. If you have an RSS feed it’s pretty much guaranteed that Google, Bing, et. al. are consuming it which can lead to more rapid inclusion of new content in search results.

This is cool and all, but I think that people that are already here, are mostly not thinking about going back. But that's just my opinion.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's your opinion. And it's right.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Cool, I will never use it

You like wallowing in cesspits of corporate greed and bots?

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I like not being on Reddit. Why don’t people just let it go?

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I think my comment came off wrong. I was calling Reddit the cesspit and saying the only reason you’d be there is if you like that sort of thing.

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Stockholm syndrome …

[-] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Because the cold bothers them. They can't let go 😞

But for real, kbin/Lemmy fills the void Reddit used to fill for me. Some magazines need to grow or even get started, but I'm fine. And I don't really understand how people get confused over the federation. After a day or two it was fine and I was at home.

[-] eleitl@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

But what would be the point? Reddit is dead, long live Lemmy.

I looked at the Nitter app in F-Droid, says "the source code is no longer available, no updates possible". Is the app good?

[-] rhetoricX@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I have full made the jump from Reddit to Lemmy and the Fediverse. However, Reddit still contains so much valuable information. This client will let you access past posts without having to log in or use the official app, and I'm glad to have it available.

[-] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Neat!! Always good to see innovation and a project built to scratch an itch! Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
