People who are still on Reddit, are like people who are still on X.

No I don't mean twitter, I mean X the drug. Y'all mother f**ers are on literal drugs I tell you.

As soon as lemmy has a larger user base (or boost dies for good) I'll kick it. There are so many communities on Reddit that don't exist here, even though lemmy is obviously better.

That's why I posted a log about my 3D printer repair in /c/3DPrinting earlier - because I want to put the content here that starts to show up in google searches.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I do the same on the occasion that I post. Doesn't solve the problem, at least hasn't yet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There are a ton of specific communities on Reddit that don't really exist anywhere else. Like, Lemmy is fine if all you want is anarcho-socialist Linux users but there's a subreddit for my hometown, some specific weird apps I use, my favorite video games, the machines I use at work, etc. Until Lemmy can branch past just people who use it for ideological reasons it won't replace Reddit.

As long as people with specific interests insist on going back to reddit though, it won't be able to do that. There are some specific video game communities (especially for newer releases like Baldurs Gate 3, Helldivers, etc) btw

I spent the last of my time over there making sure Reddit moderators knew what I thought of them

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Good on ya! I know how hard it is to break the addiction.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait you were mad when the subs went dark or mad at the reddit admins. The mods aren't the issue over there(well not all of them).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

oh this wasn't anything to do with the API debacle. it's just that if I had to interact with a moderator, and they were an incompetent asshole, I would like screenshot and highlight their own rules proving that they were just making shit up because they liked having authority. the best is if they also have a Discord server, because if I ever own any of them really well I can post screenshots in the Discord. Discord moderators love shitting on the Reddit moderators with me

Hey, there will be updated patches available very soon! You'll have to use revanced manager and hopefully should work again.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Do you have any details on what broke / needs patching after today's change?

Edit:

Don't worry, I found it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Huh, do you have a link about that? I am interested in something like this for Sync for Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Sure, here you go:

Once updated patches are released on Revanced manager, follow the process of getting an OAuth token from reddit preferences (if not already) and patch it.

It is working again, Reddit fixed the issue

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

And it seems to be broken again this morning.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It's mostly working again! The only thing not working for me right now is the posts tab on a user's profile.

Check out the oldlander addon for Firefox.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't wish to jinx it but it appears to be working again.

[โ€“] Qubbe 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In all honesty after it went down on Reddit I am not looking back. I kinda feel a little refreshed being in Lemmy now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Post more! We need more active users!
