    Funny how they don’t even pretend there’s any logic to it. If you can view it in the app, then the content has been reviewed after all…? Clearly just a way to enforce app usage.

    I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

    I wish someone could just mirror it all

    We’re expecting a giant influx of users when the popular workaround, old.reddit.com (perhaps with RES to make it less outdated), inevitably gets shut down. Please try to make Lemmy a worthwile space in the meantime so that they stay!

      I joined lemmy just over a year ago when reddit killed its API. I hoped that my favorite subreddit would come here too but it didn’t so I wandered back to reddit. I was clinging to old.reddit.com and would probably have stayed around for as long as that lasted. But recently they began requiring email addresses. That was too much and here I am.

      And please actively remind people to remain civil. We can be better than Reddit in so many ways. I believe!

        I think Lemmy is and will be quite good at remaining civil because the questionable content makers use their own instances and get defederated. The most edgy community federated with the main cluster I found is !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org. It features cryptic posts that presumably make sense if you engage in the decentralized (IRC? Telnet??) discourse channels of sdf.org and some appear to be pro-fascist depending on how you interpret the questionable veil of sarcasm. I don’t think it’s serious enough to consider defederation because the worst ones get massively downvoted anyway.

          They’re not just staying on those instances tho…

          When they get defederated (usually long before) they find a small boutique instance (that’s actually valid) but didn’t bother to set up any requirements for account creation then make a shit ton of accounts to troll with.

          If you ever look at the main modlog you’ll see there’s a significant amount getting banned on a daily basis.

          But they just go make another, and even tho most instances are doing something about it, there’s a surprising amount of zombie instances no one will ever change but are still running for some reason and federated with large instances.

          Eventually the main ones will need to “prune” a lot of instances, which shouldn’t be surprising considering a year ago everyone wanted to federate with everyone.

          Imagine just walking thru a city and inviting literally everyone to come hang out at your apartment, even giving them the door code to get I to your building. That’s kind of what happened.
