Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.

Take it as a reminder that we should always be faithful and coherent to our ideals!
