News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?

To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?

Jerboa is good, throws some errors sometimes, but that's probably because of the huge influx of members

[–] rkk 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

First reply in Jerboa. Functioning. ?)

Functioning on kbin no less :)

Jerboa is good. Thunder is ok. But for me, nothing beats mobile web. Install it as a PWA via Native Alpha (or Firefox). It’s clean, bug free, and I get the same exact experience on my Android and iPhone.

Jerboa is the way to go. Many other apps are in development for Lemmy as well. Sync, thunderbolt, lemmur revival, and plenty others I've seen. Jerboa is the best working one atm.

I'm using Jerboa* (android, idk if it's on iOS). It definitely has some quirks but overall it has been a decent enough experience!

*typo

it is on fdroid. 1 click. lets give a try!

[–] hail 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

let me know what you think! im curious to know what others feel about it

[–] rkk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

slightly better experience than the website. i am used to red reader. i guess by time it will be better. i am pretty happy with this already. migration on this scale...

[–] hail 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

ahh, I never used red reader. Seems like there's a fairly active community for third party apps, so I hope they improve too!

[–] rkk 1 points 1 year ago

i would be happy if the devs of redreader would make a move
