      Still have Apollo installed, and just installed Mlem. At this point I‘m not going to bother with going back to the frontpage of unawnsered questions

          That was me w baconreader for sure.

          Now I have one Lemmy app for when lemmy.world is working, and another for when it isn’t.

          Haven’t open baconreader in a while, but haven’t uninstalled it either.

      Hey, at least they’re being equitable about it, and making the site equally inaccessible for everyone!

    Whose garbage app? Never heard of this “red dit” place. What’s a “dit” and why isn’t it some other color?

      I think I understand where you made the mistake, it’s not red dit, I think it’s supposed to be re ddit. It’s where they “did it” again (or “re did it”) but like All those other early 2000’s sites they just dropped a vowel so it’s just re ddit.

        Ah, a common mistake to make. It’s not ‘re-ddit,’ Im pretty sure it comes from ‘reddi-t’ as in “Ready Tea” but like many early 2000s websites they tried to make it sound more approachable, so it’s just ‘reddi-t’ as your cup of tea will be cool enough to drink by the time it’s transmitted all your data.

    I dunno, it seems like it accomplishes its primary purpose well enough? Too bad for you that purpose is to deliver ads to the user to see while doomscrolling…and nothing else.:-(

    I accidentally reinstalled it a few weeks ago. Never opened it. Today I got a push notification and I’ve never opened the app of logged in. What a bunch of shit.

      Yeah, the random push notifications were the main reason I uninstalled it before the whole API thing even started. I was logged in but never used it because I had Apollo. The only reason I even had it was because Apollo’s “Open in Apollo” function didn’t seem to work 100% of the time.

      The official app would send me push notifications for trending posts on subs I wasn’t even subscribed to. I quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled it after like a week. Never looked back, and switched entirely to Apollo. Once the API shit hit the fan, I walked away and haven’t missed it. Looking back at all the background activity that the official app had, (it’s horrible for battery life because of all the massive amounts of telemetry it sends) I’m half convinced that the push notifications were simply an attempt to keep the app open in the background. Like if you force-closed it, they’d occasionally send you notifications simply to get you to open the app for a second so it can run in the background again.

        I was getting emails also. All of a sudden reddit decided I needed to know what subreddits were trending via email. I’d tell it to quit sending me that shit and it would send them again after like 2 weeks.

      Not sure I’m going to support it when there all plenty of decent free third party apps. Been using Jerboa since I made the switch, and have enjoyed the interface quite a bit.

      I just can’t get behind the idea of paying for the ad free experience. Still support the developer, but it better not be like Sync’s $20.
