I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

lol Jesus tap dancing christ.

None of which work anymore.

Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI’s focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I’m being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy’s offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I’d most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.

Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn’t just kill off third party mobile apps.

Makes sense. It’d be kinda weird if they found Skittles and a burrito bowl from Chipotle in there or something.

Yep. Shame on any company or individual that’s still active on Twitter. It’s a nazi platform now and there’s no excuse to still be there. Mastodon exists, so if you’re still on Twitter you are part of the problem.

Hey all!

It looks like most of you had difficulty reaching the site for about 5 minutes, but those issues should have subsided.

During that time, you may have been shown an incorrect error message that read:

Whoa there, pardner! reddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.

Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block.

To share some additional context on what happened - we pushed a bad code change in our tooling that resulted in a significant amount of users getting blocked without doing anything wrong. So if you happened to see that error message within the last hour, don’t fret! We’ve reverted the code change that caused this error and things should be back to normal very soon if they aren’t already.

Yeah, Mastodon is much larger than Lemmy yet it feels like shouting into the void. I like it as a means to keep up on news by following journalists who’ve fled twitter but I’ve yet to get any real interaction on my posts. Meanwhile on Lemmy I’m never running out of things to read and people to discuss posts with.

Yep, that’s exactly why I think that warning label is a good thing.

The apps page now has sections for Android, iOS, and web apps, as well as libraries. Feel free to do a pull request to add any apps that are missing.

I’m digging the warning that identifies closed source apps. It’s a nice courtesy and makes it clear that they’re an exception not the norm.

I’d say, ‘your employees have options. They’re not resources to control,’" Houston told Fortune when asked about what message he had for CEOs who believed in return-to-office mandates.

“You need a different social contract and to let go of control. But if you trust people and treat them like adults, they’ll behave like adults. Trust over surveillance,” he added.

“But but but you can’t just treat the servants like people who are capable of completing their responsibilities while managing their own time! What if they finish their work early or take an extra ten minutes at lunch?! Sweet lord, what if they aren’t jiggling their mouse enough??!! Time theft is the most heinous crime in human history!!!1!”

Yep, we’re about six months away from Elon Musk personally hawking snake-oil diet supplements and survivalist gear to doomsday preppers a lá Alex Jones. Heck, once Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings are finished, Elon can just buy out his stock, cross out Info and sell them as “ElonWars Supplements.”
