Reddit killed third party apps
It wasn’t just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn’t affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread “addressing” the changes and concerns was brutal.
Yup. I still miss my rif app. It just felt like such a bad decision. Especially limiting NSFW. I needed to try something else.
reddit isn’t fun
Just to get away from Reddit and help make the fediverse successful.
Reddit’s bot detection bot banned me for being a bot. The irony was too much.
I guess that happened because you had your VPN on
spez is a piece of shit
Trying to understand someone I adore who prefers Lemmy. Also, Reddit feels overrun with fake accounts and scammers.
To escape reddit and to help people if I can.
Because reddit shut its api access off and “rif is fun for reddit” stopped working, duh.
Got sick of reddit morons, but increasingly they are moving over.
As a better alternative to what I was using prior (Reddit and other stuff). Came to Lemmy.ml as it seemed like a good generalist option whose top categories include open source programs and technology, to which I’ve enjoyed reading further into.
Additionally, I didn’t know Lemmygrad exists, however I’m super glad it does. I regularly browse it, and through doing so, I’ve corrected several misconceptions I had held prior, gotten even more insights into history, put together a reading list to finally delve deeper (which I need to keep reminding myself to start), and I’ve renewed efforts to try to find a way to organize.
I just want to see less bots and find real community and conversations. I also love the concept of decentralized platforms. I feel like the Internet mostly isn’t even real. I miss what it was like 15+ years ago.
Because Reddit is a haven for power tripping white supremacists who ban any opinion they don’t like.

Yep. Same.
Graduating from “leftist” Reddit, I’m afraid.
Gonna glaze the 'grad specifically - on the whole it’s done wonders for my revolutionary optimism and mental health, which in turn has lead to me actually doing some organizing irl.
Finding places full of people who actually know their shit and aren’t swept up into the lies of neoliberalism and capitalism is a major step up from feeling utterly alone and helpless in the imperial core surrounded by people who at times feel utterly alien and unreachable.
Basically just using this space to say thanks for existing, as well as thanks to such incredibly consistent and well-informed posters like yogthos, cfgaussian, cowbee, rainpizza and others for their constant analysis and discussions that have definitely patched up a lot of holes in my own understandings of leftist history and thought.
Thanks for the kind words, comrade! Glad you’re here! 🫡
Was thinking of trying something like Reddit. And I never imagined I would like a platform this much… And I’m also glad that I came to Lemmy instead of using Reddit
