Exactly, I didn’t have a tantrum. I used a third party app because of the accessibility features it offered that the official app doesn’t. I can’t use reddit now, so I don’t use reddit.
I’m using Memmy on iPhone which has some good text size accessibility settings. But there’s some buggy stuff and I don’t think they’ve released any fixes or updates in a few months.
I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.
I tried Eternity but uninstalled it when I realized that it would just go back to my homepage if I switched away from the app for any reason. I’m using Liftoff at the moment but it’s got its own problems. I might try Voyager some time.
A popular theory is that a lot of bots were deployed to make the exodus seem less impactful. So, officially the numbers might be similar, but I’m sure there’s less real content and people…
Me too, I did most of my redditing on the phone. So the only redditing I do these days is when on desktop looking for various hardware recommendations, cause unfortunately I don’t know how to search lemmy that well
Lenny is also just missing the decade of pcmasterrace and other pc hardware sub content. It might get there in time but for now Reddit is still a font of information and advice from knowledgeable people.

That too is changing. For the last few months, most technical posts I search on reddit are starting to get filled with [Deleted] for all the actual answers as reddit’s current push to ban left leaning users has removed all the people who actually were interested in giving answers in the past.
I mean yeah, there was always a few [Deleted]s in every old thread but in the last half year it has become the majority of them.
On Reddit, if a comment is removed by admin or moderators, it displays [removed]. [deleted] means the user themself did it. I’d imagine what you’re seeing is people like myself, who used scripts to delete all of our comments from the site.
I thought blocking nsfw posts on mobile was bad enough until I tried viewing a totally SFW subreddit that was small enough to not be “verified”. Straight up didn’t let me view a subreddit that wasn’t essentially approved without logging in or using the app.
I didn’t have a “tantrum” when they blocked my 3rd-party app for corporate reasons… I just stopped using Reddit.

Just curious, what app do you use for Lemmy?

I use Voyager! Awesome app, give it a try.

Eternity. For me, this app is the only one without significant problems.

I just experimented your observation and the behavior is not the same. Are you sure it isn’t your settibgs?
So now they are pushing the narrative eight months later that people left in a tantrum?
The fact they still talk about that over there says a lot.
