Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I never knew this. I tried with https://www.reddit.com/r/watercolour/.rss as a test. I can the the images are in the feed. But, my readers are not showing them. Do you have any suggestions on getting image previews to work?

I'm not real sure what the issue is but I can confirm that's the same URL format that I use. I use Feeder on Android if that helps

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's what I use yes. Do you get images for that URL? If you don't mind a quick check? Then at least I can dig into feeder.

Huh. Yeah I'm not getting them either, and after looking into my other feeds that do have images it looks like those are either video preview images or links to articles, so I guess it doesn't support native reddit image uploads maybe?

thanks for testing, I do appreciate that. Thats a shame, but it is what it is.
