News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules

Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit? (i.imgur.com)

Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn't even show the full post. There are 3 of those "trending" boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

I actually really like the redesign. It looks very modern to me, and the website feels a great deal more responsive.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you're fucking stupid... And / or spez

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Well he has a point. It looks cleaner overall. But old.reddit is so much more information-dense that I happily accepted a 20 years old ui. Also rip subreddit css.

[–] Foofighter@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The stupidity of the post is so attractive though. Perfect nerd click bait.

[–] zaphod@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

It looks like typo and then just keeps going with it.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So stop using it. Ffs, this place circle jerks over how bad that place is, and then you dumb mother fuckers keep going back. Move on already.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

What? I will always use reddit as long as it has good content that I can't find elsewhere. Still spend lots of time here to help Lemmy grow and make it eventually get better than reddit.

Digg redesign vibes

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The day that digg launched that new design was the last day I ever logged into that site. Why do people fuck up things that work?

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yep, same here.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do people fuck up things that work?

Depends on what you mean by "work". If by "work" you mean is enjoyable to use, I understand. If by "work" you mean sustains a business, then no.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It obviously is a sustainable business. What they want to do is fatten the cow before slaughter

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's obviously not. Because they've been reporting losses since it's inception.

[–] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but only because Reddit wants to become more than they are! All the coins, nfts (yes, they already sell them), useless functions and redesigns they implemented over the years, while simultaneously giving a shit about what made Reddit useful and interesting. They had a chance to be better than the rest and give us (and by that I mean user who used Reddit often) a way to pay for what we liked but more and more they pushed people like me away with all the convoluted and microtransactiony way to spend money.

Eh, whatever. I like it here better now!

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They had a chance to be better than the rest and give us...a way to pay for what we liked

You wouldn't have paid. No one would have paid. It's as simple as that. People are happy to pay with their data and their attention, but not with their money, which is why they forced everyone onto their first-party app where they can mine your data and push notifications to keep you engaged, all while ensuring you're forced to look at their ads.

Not to mention charging AI companies money to mine the information you've contributed to their platform that they were previously bypassing via the API.

[–] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

You wouldn't have paid

Eh, I don't pay for Tv or have a lot of subscriptions but I actually pay for YouTube premium because there are channels I follow for more than ten years at this point. And because I know that some of this money goes to the creators (not all, I know) I feel like it's money well spent for content I actually enjoy. So, with all that said: if Reddit would have given me an option to pay a reasonable amount to browse it on an app of my choice I am pretty sure I would have done that, because some of content and communities were also a part of my life for way longer than ten years.

I can kinda see where you are coming from, though. Not enough people would have paid the way I would have done. People like free stuff. I do too.

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.

This redesign looks painfully corporate.

[–] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used RIF for the longest time and I just can't with the official app. It's already awful and if that's what the website looks like now then the app will have a worse UI soon.

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You guys are still using Reddit?

Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;

[–] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I check in on one specific community and feel sad that the users are still there. But one of them signed up here today so there is hope!

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was being a little cheeky, I get it. I have a personal feed of reddit posts that get pulled from the subs i miss without me needing to visit the site.

The migration will be slow, but hopefully steady! Honestly, the lack of content kinda sucks but its much higher quality and the discussions here are way more personal which is really nice.

[–] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?

[–] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wrote a python script that uses the API (unauthenticated), it's still in early stages right now but I intend to clean it up over the coming days and then publish it on GitHub -- I'll send you a link when i do :)

[–] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

That would be great! Thanks!

[–] Blaubarschmann@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Okay, so does anyone wanna talk about the math thingy in the post?
