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.

Companies that do this absolutely annoy me. Even Facebook doesn’t do this??
Yeah, so, uh, m.facebook.com has made a sudden and radical change in the last few days. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's currently not usable for me. I don't know if that's happening to multiple people.
Oh what the hell, L Facebook if that’s the case
Are there third party Facebook apps?
I use Friendly social Browser on Android. It's basically a wrapper for the mobile website and allows me to sort posts the way I want them, which is important to me. I don't want the algorithm. I've used it for years. It works with quite a few different social media sites and doesn't allow all the tracking. I have the Plus version and I'm allowed to turn off ads on both the app and Facebook and block "stories" and other silliness I don't care for. I don't know if the free version does all of that.
Think something like Friendly could be put together as a wrapper around old.reddit.com? Modifies the formatting to make it mobile-friendly.
It currently works with the official mobile site. It would be great if it were more like old reddit but I just opened it for the first time and it's miles better than using Chrome on mobile for me just because of the ad blocker and ability to keep the feed from suggesting random shit.
Is it still working? I remember there was a period of time when it was unusable.
I then switched to Frost and now to SlimSocial for Facebook.
It sure is. It was much more buggy in the past but I don't really see many issues now. My husband uses the official FB app and he complains about issues with it all the time. I think the number of bugs is comparable. I used to sometimes not have many comments load if I didn't manually refresh but he had the same issue on his app at the time and refreshing didn't help. I don't use social media other than FB and all I really want is to see my family and friend's posts sorted by Most Recent, and a few news profiles I follow, so it's good enough for me.
Yep there are open source ones even
