“There are no plans to get rid of Old Reddit.” - reddit

Completely expected this, technically they are not removing it, just making it so shit no one would use it. Same move done by twitter when muskrat took over

The redesign doesn’t really work, it just tells you to use their horrendous app or login to see any “unverified” content. What that is only they seem to know…

Anyone still relying on reddit’s user generated data should use something like a redlib instance

I think a few more details are needed to get you a clear alternative:

• Which devices you want to cast from? what content you want to cast (DRM content like netflix, and/or your own media)? what kind of TV you have?

In my case after degoogling, I use mainly apple devices besides my windows pc. 2 of my TVs have AirPlay built in, so there’s no issue casting anything. If your TV is rather recent it’s likely to have it too.

The third TV is tricky, it’s an older 4k LG. I have a linux box connected to it and installed UxPlay in it. It only works with AirPlay “mirroring” so you kinda need an app that can treat the TV as a second monitor. Otherwise the mirroring won’t cover the entire TV screen. I’m still assuming apple devices here, but there’s OutPlayer and nPlayer in the appstore that can do this. It does support sound-only casting, so if it’s music you want it should be able to direct cast from your apps.

The second caveat for UxPlay is that it only works with DRM-free content (youtube, self hosted media). For DRM content I haven’t found a nice alternative for the old TV , so I use its built in apps (netflix, amazon prime). Kodi exists, but the plug-ins support for streaming sites isn’t good, often getting stuck to low-res content.

I’m guessing buying an apple tv/fire stick/roku is the only alternative for DRM content casting. I also explored the idea of “degoogling” my unused chromecast 3rd gen, but absolutely nothing exists for this and it just collects dust in a drawer.

All I need from youtube are my handful of subscriptions and my watch later, so I have moved on to invidious. I’d recommend it

Now that we are recommending alternatives, iPhone/iPad/Mac have Yattee. It uses Piped/Invidious as backend and is in the appstore

Didnt look at it like that tbh, and it makes sense now that I think about it.

Didn’t bother reading their entire docs, but this all looks gamified as fuck. I knew this would happen, with these stupid points ingrained in every aspect of the site everything just became predatory and hostile unless you pay. It’s literally a game of “free2play” users grinding whatever is needed to get points (which probably is not feasible) vs buying the “special subscriptions”.

Then the introduction is laughable, I want to peek into the brains of these mfers who not even weeks ago were taking subreddits from mods by force, and now preach of community independence from platforms.

This is shaping up to be one of the top apps, looks and feels like native iOS! there’s a few things I noted are missing and haven’t been reported yet so here’s a list before I forget. Hopefully some can make it into a future release:

• Swipe or sharing actions on comments
• Sorting options for comments
• Default sort of comments & posts
• Option to hide the floating reply button on posts
• Changing color scheme of comment threads line
• Tap to collapse comments

To be clear I just tried what the OP showed and could see the same thing, i forgot to add it in my comment

I do remember seeing this popup way before the whole API & protests debacle. The warning doesn’t even make sense, how will switching to the app to see the same content be safer?

I figured you needed to login (to apply your block list, filters, NSFW prefs, etc), but merely seeing the desktop mode of the website lets you through (not even using old.reddit). So this is another cheap way of forcing you to their cancer app.

Now you can’t even SORT comments without using the app. They are really taking all pqges off Elon’s book on ruining a website.
