LPT: Don’t use reddit because it’s a fucking dumpster fire.
You think we’re any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that’s the way it should be.
Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.
I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.
It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.
It isn’t about being better trash, it’s about who controls the dump. I want to be able to view all trash in the way I choose. Not certain piles of trash that I’m forced view in a way that I can’t choose on my own.
Yes!! We’re not perfect but we’re MILES better
I haven’t been back to Reddit in months, and maybe Reddit’s gotten worse since then, but Lemmy’s far worse than Reddit was when I left it. I stay here because I like the idea of the Fediverse, but this community is absolute garbage.

Lol you went back for the porn
If Lemmy was better for Porn Reddit would’ve been abandoned by now.
Give them a break, porn on the internet is notoriously difficult to find.
The sad thing is that this is the reason they’re planning to shut down oldreddit
I stopped using reddit on mobile after the api debacle. Once old reddit is done, I won’t be visiting on my desktop either. The redesign is and always has been trash.
Tbh i was surprised that it is still up. Aren’t they affected by the API pricing or something
old.reddit is just the official website with the old layout from before they redesigned their front end ui. It’s part of Reddit’s official website that they kept around because so many people hate the redesign, it’s not a 3rd party and therefore not affected by any pricing policies.
Thank You, kind stranger(s)
I literally predicted that old.reddit.com would shut down in 6 months after u/spez said it’s not going anywhere, just like Apollo. I wasn’t sure how seriously to take this but I think I will be pretty close.
What’s sad about it? Reddit is garbage. Get off it and stop using it.
The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit for me.
The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit itself. A lot of moderators depend on the older interface (along with RES) to manage their communities. Imagine trying to mod with reddit’s current interface.
Why is it not the end already? Drop it, move on, you will be better off for you might even realise how much of a problem you have
Thanks mom, I will.
Your mental health matters dear. Eat plenty of greens and no more reddit!
Can you get me some Capt’n crunch on your way back home? Pretty please??
Wtf does “unreviewed” even mean? Are they waiting for some board to approve communities now?
It’s basically corporate speak for “fuck you use our app”
A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.
Don’t visit their stupid website

Wish it looked better on mobile. I only ever browsed reddit (lemmy too) on my phone.

I always used old.reddit on mobile and had no problems. Not sure how anything could look any better.
You can’t think of any way it could look better? Really?
Certainly not any of the main changes made by the new Reddit UI. Except maybe the collapse thread buttons being long, vertical bars. That was a good idea.
To clarify: I also use RES, so that’s what I’m thinking of when I say old.reddit.
Does it work in +18 subs too? I tried to see a comment thread In a post of a LGBTQ subreddit, but the post/sub (idk what one) was flagged as mature content, that requires an account to login and read, and I wasn’t able to read them.
It was about gender symbols! Not p*rn, before someone ask…
Yes
That’s why you have a porn account
Invisible what?
Don’t forget to leave a review in the app/play store
There’s also beta.reddit.com which I discovered unintentionally on google
