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.

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.

Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point Iβ€˜m not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions

i haven't mustered up the emotional fortitude to uninstall rif yet. still, i seem to have gotten out of the habit of absent mindedly opening it

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In dark mode, that actually looks like a LOL LOLing through space.

I swear I haven't had psychadellics. In fact, it'd probably be a mesmerising trap on psychadellics.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Phone text, in general, is interesting on psychedelics. For me, text just turns into an incomprehensible squiggles that look kind of like letters but absolutely aren't. Things that look dull usually tend to stay that way during a trip. Bright colors and tie-die are awesome though.

I am in disbelief, the last time I used reddit this was a solved issue, and now they've gone and unsolved it??

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 36 points 1 year ago

Regressions are a side effect of big buisness planning! πŸ’ͺ

"accessibility? what accessibility?" - reddit app

[–] pexavc@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of


okay im done. lol

Get that app outta your phones mouth

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm glad that I don't use Reddit anymore, unless forced.

Even when forced, I feel dirty.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nobody forcing you my dude/lady.

[–] porksoda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forced, no. But as a dev, Google leads me to a lot of reddit posts for troubleshooting and discussion.

I remember before I got a third party app that the official app would only show up to 10 nested comments. This meant if you replied to the last comment, it would never actually show up for mobile app users, since there was no "view more comments" button or anything.

So it would seem that they finally fixed that issue...

Just another reason to use Lemmy: our's is a rainbow! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

[–] Username2345@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

As someone who is visually impaired, separating by colors is much easier to keep track on

[–] cdf12345@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and I’ve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apollo’s β€œOpen in Apollo” function didn’t seem to work 100% of the time.

The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasn’t even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and haven’t missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (it’s horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) I’m half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, they’d occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.

[–] dragoness@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I was getting emails also. All of a sudden reddit decided I needed to know what subreddits were trending via email. I'd tell it to quit sending me that shit and it would send them again after like 2 weeks.

The hottest of garbage

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it's been like this for a long time, too

[–] ganove@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

I remember getting a new phone and somehow i downloaded reddit instead of boost. I thought Ah come on, how bad can it be, let's try one more round. 5 minutes in I ended up like this and noped out of there. I still miss my reddit communities a bit, but as a mobile user there is no going back.

[–] koyo@ani.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah its so slow and buggy. i was on boost then all this shit happebed.

boost for lemmy when.

We know, that's why most of us are here

[–] Fer24@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They prefer investing in crypto shit before fixing that trash app

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whose garbage app? Never heard of this "red dit" place. What's a "dit" and why isn't it some other color?

[–] JaymesRS@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

I think I understand where you made the mistake, it’s not red dit, I think it’s supposed to be re ddit. It’s where they β€œdid it” again (or β€œre did it”) but like All those other early 2000’s sites they just dropped a vowel so it’s just re ddit.

[–] Aagje_D_Vogel@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

As a solution, you can always have it being read to you by the accessibility feat- ohh wait.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

NGL, I had this happen with sync a few times in the past

[–] cake@lemmings.world 7 points 1 year ago

Even a Nokia phone is better

[–] TacoNot@mander.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Just go to the permalink of the lower level comme... oh, right.

[–] jozo@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Never seen official reddit app before, doesn't look good.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If you're that deep into a thread, it ain't worth it anyway.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe they think so low of their users that they don't expect more than two levels of nesting.

I dunno, it seems like it accomplishes its primary purpose well enough? Too bad for you that purpose is to deliver ads to the user to see while doomscrolling...and nothing else.:-(

Reminds me of old tumblr
