News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**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.

It’s at least possible to sideload Apollo and use your own API key for it.
Wait… what?
EXPLAINNNNN!!
https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo
You'll have to install AltStore (or Sideloady) on your computer + phone to resign the app each week (this can happen automatically if they're on the same wifi network). You can make your own personal API key at https://old.reddit.com/prefs/apps/ (It's limited to 100 requests per 10 mins, which you wont run into browsing by yourself). Also as long as you moderate a subreddit (I think even if it's just an empty one you make), NSFW content wont be blocked on the API.
Also while you're sideloading, I'd highly recommend uYouPlus for a better youtube app
Omg I’ve been looking for a better YouTube app for iOS thank you!! I have an Apple Developer account but I haven’t paid the yearly fee in a while so my powers are limited with it
The arichornlover/uYouEnhanced fork is better supported currently.
Thank you
Thanks I’ll dig into this. I already have uYouPlus and Ignited (Delta emulated but better). But I may try to get Apollo instead of YouTube which I barely use.
Isn't it better to simply move to Lemmy?
It's not perfect but seriously: fuck reddit
I haven’t been on Reddit since the api lockout. But there are some communities that have not moved over and I want access to them. I realized that the private api would still generate traffic for them but if through Apollo they won’t get my ads revenue at least. But yeah fuck Reddit.
On the topic of generating traffic: I use a little app off of github called geddit. It essentially uses the RSS feed reddit has and skins it into an app. It's pretty bare on features since you can't log in, but you can have a personalized front page. And no ads as well. And nsfw posts/subs aren't blocked.
That's my compromise for accessing niche communities without giving reddit traffic.
Edit: It's an android app. Not really an option if you have an iPhone I guess
Oh wow.
Cool solution!
I end up on Reddit from Google search, and they limit the comment depth to 1 reply on the web, which makes it fucking awful to use.
It is the antithesis of what Reddit used to be and what gained Reddit market share.
