      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.

      In dark mode, that actually looks like a LOL LOLing through space.

      I swear I haven’t had psychadellics. In fact, it’d probably be a mesmerising trap on psychadellics.

        Phone text, in general, is interesting on psychedelics. For me, text just turns into an incomprehensible squiggles that look kind of like letters but absolutely aren’t. Things that look dull usually tend to stay that way during a trip. Bright colors and tie-die are awesome though.

          For me everything’s clear but text pops out and even flat UI takes 3D form. The glow is also pretty. The keyboard is the most fascinating part because it looks big and clear to fit the whole alphabet, and so my thumbs are fucking huge. Haven’t tried outside of dark mode, think I wouldn’t like it.

    I am in disbelief, the last time I used reddit this was a solved issue, and now they’ve gone and unsolved it??

      I’m slowly reaching the point where I wonder how the majority of mobile users apparently always used reddit official “app”. Like… there’s more effective ways to torture yourself if you’re into that…

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

    Ah yes, you have reached the Loom. The hidden gateway into the threadiverse. One must strum the threads to the ballad of federation to find the hidden nymph, Lemmy. Guiding one towards the oasis of — okay im done. lol

    I’m glad that I don’t use Reddit anymore, unless forced.

    Even when forced, I feel dirty.

        Forced, no. But as a dev, Google leads me to a lot of reddit posts for troubleshooting and discussion.

        Reddit was an essential part of the internet. Thankfully it’s been mostly archived.

        Losing the data from Reddit would be a catastrophe on the level of the library of Alexandra.

        The people who run Reddit know all of this and thus the reason they want some much money for things like the API.

    And you notice that because…. YOU WERE ON THE REDDIT APP! Uninstall that crap! (Sorry not sorry for all caps)

    I remember before I got a third party app that the official app would only show up to 10 nested comments. This meant if you replied to the last comment, it would never actually show up for mobile app users, since there was no “view more comments” button or anything.

    So it would seem that they finally fixed that issue…

    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.

        At least for Android you can turn off push notifications. Long press the notification in question on the top pull down menu and pick your options.

        Applicable for all apps, not just Reddit. Somhandy to silence irritating Uber Eats or Twitter crap.

        • You can do that in iOS too. But having notifications enabled for messages was nice. The problem was that the app didn’t have an obvious way to disable only the spammy notifications.
