      It stopped working for me with a vpn. They are really pushing people away at this point.

      I guess it’s an issue is profitability. I think long term, these companies can’t survive. It really depends on a community support.

    I’m glad I have slowly moved away from Reddit, hope we get some sort of Fedi recap stuff in the future as is a really cool idea but glad we don’t get forced to use Apps and stuff.

      Any recap “service” suggests (necessitates, even) that said site is digging deeply through the data it has on you. It’s only function is to normalize the notion that these companies have your data and “it’s really not a big deal because they’re doing this fun stuff with it, right?”

      Suffice to say, I’m good without a Fediverse “recap”.

      To a point there’s an interesting balance to be had…

      On one hand sure these stats are fun, on the other people on the Fediverse don’t want secret tabs kept on them, or more information collected than necessary.

      At least you can go through your profile and look at your top posts and comments.

        I would guess it would be instance to instance basis and will most likely have to be 100% transparent with what it’s doing.

    I use old Reddit and a third party app, so my recap made no sense

    I liked that

        Iirc Joe for Reddit was one of the few third party apps, that were able to continue using the api for free ( or almost? ).

        I don’t remember what the conditions were though, there was some catch, something they had to feature in their apps in order to get the free api access.

        A few of mine continued to work as normal, and I’m not sure why

      I’m not really using it like before, i jump there sometimes from search results and am logged in automatically…

      I haven’t deleted my account yet, because idk, there are some things I’d like to be able to look up.

      I go to Reddit for literally one thing every week- a schedule I won’t see anywhere else. I just look at the schedule and leave. But I still need Reddit to see that schedule.

      Why not?

      (Also look at the community you are replying in… What use is there on quesrioning why people use reddit on the c/reddit, it’s like when people say “why are you using 4chan” on r/4chan lol)

          I mean, yeah somewhat, I’m just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

          Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven’t moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won’t be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community

            Oh absolutely. I still go back for the occasional check-in with my favorite small communities. But I basically never browse /r/all or any of the top subreddits that used to keep me coming back multiple times per day.

            On top of that while I did quit mostly cold turkey after Apollo shut down, putting Reddit at the end of internet searches especially for games (looking at you planetside and V Rising) really helps me manage to this exact piece of niche information I need

    Meh, I opened Reddit just to lurk on the only subreddit I would post on. Recap for that community reminded me it was all one big circle jerk… but now with more advertisements.

    I just deleted my reddit account. There’s no going back now.

    Blocking modal windows are a sin and make me less likely to interact with a site. Imgur is also guilty. No, I don’t want to participate in your community meme event when I’m just trying to look at an image on the app that is clogging up my RAM because you think it does something important and interesting enough to warrant deeplinking it in an electron wrapper.

    Also, while I’m here, fuck modal windows with no X to close button which forces you to read the buttons to figure out which one is the “fuck off” button and not the “take all my money” button.

      Or the X has the same color as the background, making it hard to see at all and so small, it’s almost unusable on Mobile.

      These are all intentional, to make it hard for you. I build websites for a living and clients actually ask for designs that “keep” the user on the site. Since i have no say in things other than the area that affects my work, i sometimes hate my job and have no other way than just do my job.

      “Oh, the cancel button is too big. Make it smaller or better yet, don’t make it a button, just a small text link, somewhere at the bottom, with font-size: 9 px … And remove the underline…”

      Hey, remember the days of pop-up windows where the X button was labelled “Open in background” if you hovered over it. At least there’s been some progress. \s

    Infinity for reddit was working for me but today I installed android 14 and its now asking to pay for subscription. I am now officially of Lemmy. No more reddit for me.
