Me: I never use official reddit app ever since I procure my phone 2 years ago, Using infinity is my first choice in browsing reddit in mobile, stealth is the second but I love infinity that I go back using it, in desktop I use teddit.net but if I want to post I use the official website on Firefox with uBlock Origin to deter the ads and trackers, now I’ll never go back on reddit if their decision is final to charge developers for their API, because Infinity, Stealth and Teddit devs probably will shutdown as they are only solo/small teams that just want to make the digital world a better place they can’t pay for api donating to them will only do good for a short time as the API is fucking expensive and breaks the rule of FOSS philosophy

this excludes Apollo and other Close Source software that uses reddit’s api though as I never use it so I can’t say things about them

    It seems that I don’t have a life and I can’t live without this group lol.

    I also use Infinity for Reddit on my phone and use Firefox with uBlock Origin when browsing on my PC. I am still open to just use the web version. Firefox Mobile has uBlock Origin too.

    Naiirita ako pag nakaka kita ako ng ads. Dibale na sana kung nakakatawa or informative. Pero hindi, puro scam pa yun ads na lumalabas.

    Tapos pansin ko dumadami na rin yun followers ko na may only fans. Mga bots ata yun.

      okay lang di naman sana may ads sa reddit, kasi yun lang naman mostly ang source of income ng mga free sites eh

      pero itong ginagawa ng reddit eh kupal talaga. they want to shut down 3rd party apps but

      • Denies they want to shutdown the 3rd party apps
      • Hurls false accusations against 3rd party app developers
      • Charges rates that are incredibly unreasonable

      Nakakabuwisit lang talaga kasi reddit is my favorite website and it sucks that established communities will have to be rebuilt dahil sa kagaguhan nila

    Reddit fucked their mobile web, even using uBlock on my Firefox Mobile. They forced us to use their bloatware, intrusive app.

    Even their redesigned Reddit desktop web is fucked. I was hoped new Redditors never experience these bullshitteries, but unfortunately spez (fuck u/) is unstoppable, and he can lie (watch out old.reddit shutdown)

        Chromium and Firefox mobile browsers are equally the same, atleast on my mid-range Android device. I’ve been using Firefox both PC and mobile since 2016 pa, and yes, before it was shite. Seeing it improving over the years is really telling.

    I use RIF on mobile, and on the desktop, RES and old.reddit.com. Would have been blissfully unaware of this shitstorm had not for an announcement not just from RIF, but also from RES about their impending demise.

    I looked around to find alternatives, but since the ideals of the Fediverse appealed to me, and that I’ve already had a Mastodon account, I gravitated towards Lemmy.

    To be fair, however, this is a pretty promising alternative (ignoring the political leanings of the devs and all).
