The new rules don’t permit NSFW content. Also, they will be moving to a paid plan soon.

Relay is continuing right? So the revanced patch will update alongside. Anyways if any such change happens I’ll just leave Reddit tbh.

What about apps like Relay for Reddit? They are continuing with a paid model in the future and are complying with the API changes. They should be unaffected by this, if I’ve understood correctly? Relay is my app of choice.

I wasn’t aware of the fact that the API changes would affect the Revanced workaround. Also, haven’t the API changes already happened?

Lemmy is a great platform considering how new it is, but the conversation is still majorly about being on Lemmy and how Reddit = bad, and the Fediverse. It’s very fatiguing.

I use them with Revanced. Sorry Lemmy, but you’re not even close to Reddit’s content quality. You’re improving though.

Can’t see how you would take that as a compliment, but hey, it’s up to you.

This is one of the most retarded takes I’ve seen.

The article says 80 percent of the users left. If you had more context, you would have got what I said.

And 80 percent of over 100 million users is still 20-30m active users.

Which adblocker do you use?

That’s my other issue with Mastodon, it’s development doesn’t seem that open, it feels like the head dude isn’t really open to change. When asked about fixing search, he said it was “intentional” and he wanted people to search less. Seems weird, let the users have the choice, right?

Heck, even Bluesky, which is VC funded feels more open than Mastodon at times.

I have selected some high-quality content to follow, but I still need to SORT through it. I’m into photography, but I don’t want to see people taking a mirror selfie and it being on the top of my feed just because it was the latest one posted with the hashtag.

Reddit (and Lemmy) solve this by giving me the choice. I can sort by Hot or Active, and get a balance between recent but upvoted posts, and if I need to, I can always sort by New.

The user needs to have options. Mastodon currently isn’t it for me, and won’t be until they add it. Until they do, I would take Threads with a following feed over Mastodon.

I also feel like Bluesky is the one doing this really well too. They have custom algorithms, that users can create and people can enable them in the settings, like community plugins. I really, really love that concept and would love seeing something like that on Mastodon.

The problem with Mastodon is discoverability. The fact that if I follow 10 hashtags, it won’t sort them on my homepage, but will be fully chronological.

Say I follow #photography. The top of my homepage would be the post posted 2s ago, no matter how bad it is. It is so hard to find quality content.

Now, Threads’ algorithm is pretty bad, but it’s still a lot easier to find quality content there instead of on Mastodon. Mastodon badly needs sorting by Hot, Active etc like there is on Lemmy.
