LPT: Don’t use reddit because it’s a fucking dumpster fire.
You think we’re any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that’s the way it should be.
I haven’t been back to Reddit in months, and maybe Reddit’s gotten worse since then, but Lemmy’s far worse than Reddit was when I left it. I stay here because I like the idea of the Fediverse, but this community is absolute garbage.

Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.
It’s more of a recycling bin fire
Compost fire (yes they can ignite).
I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.
It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.
Yes!! We’re not perfect but we’re MILES better
It isn’t about being better trash, it’s about who controls the dump. I want to be able to view all trash in the way I choose. Not certain piles of trash that I’m forced view in a way that I can’t choose on my own.
Yes, I unapologetically think we’re better for using Lemmy than reddit.
Well done
Same. Their reasoning and the warning in general make no sense. Why would it be safer to view “unreviewed content” (wetf that means) in their app vs a browser?
Because the app is so packed with ads, you won’t be viewing any content anyways.
I despise whoever made new Reddit. You can only view comment chains two levels deep in new Reddit, then replies at one level, which means you need to constantly keep loading a new page and ads to see each reply in a thread.
Who the hell thought of that? It’s a horrible UX.
I remember the redesign feedback subreddit. Any small suggestion was attacked by dozens of bootlickers. And here we are now.
Lol that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I can tell you who thought of it, easily. The people optimizing the ad revenue. UX isn’t their focus, but boosting profits is.
Is it going to boost profits though? This sort of thing is always presented as an easy way to boost ad revenue but when you’re selling ads at the volume reddit is I would have thought click-through rate would be king and it’s going to decimate that.
I’m sure if there’s one thing they’ve really gotten the hang of, it’s optimizing advertising profits. They explicitly said they’re killing third party apps because they want to sell user data. (In so many words). I can’t imagine they hadn’t thought of what makes them money. I imagine, actually, it’s what 95% OF their focus has gone toward recently.

there’s a typo in your meme, op. The URL is supposed to look something like that
https://lemmy.ml/...At least we know this situation will never occur in Lemmy because everyone would just jump to another instance - the joy of decentralised media.
I’d never go back to Reddit again if the several game projects I beta test for in my spare time would migrate over to lemmy.
I’d never support slavery if it didn’t give me some personal benefits either so I know what you mean.

❌ Anyway…
Changes to reddit are what brought me here. Once old.reddit.com disappears I will be completely done with it.
I was not able to use it 2 or 3 days ago. I assumed they killed already but it was probably an issue with the work’s firewall then
There’s also beta.reddit.com
What’s the differences here?
What’s the differences here?
We don’t go to Ravenholm.
Well, Boost still works for me
How?! Iean the app doesn’t crash, but trying to go anywhere is busted, and I don’t think browsing /all works…
Lol you went back for the porn
If Lemmy was better for Porn Reddit would’ve been abandoned by now.
Give them a break, porn on the internet is notoriously difficult to find.
Their next claim: Use our app or it will rain all day!

Wtf does “unreviewed” even mean? Are they waiting for some board to approve communities now?
It’s basically corporate speak for “fuck you use our app”
I usually see that on subreddits with LGBT focused content.
