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

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 :/
You are viewing a single comment
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 ;-;
Unfortunately he is making it for tildes, a platform run by a single admin who bans people who have discussions about difficult topics
Yeah that's what I've seen too, I don't know why he chose tildes? It's not talked about, like at all. Seems like a big chunk of his userbase came over here
The admin there who owns the place seems to want to keep it small, so yes no clue why he is making his app over there at this point. It's clear the owner of tildes doesn't want the place to grow. He just wants a bunch of people circle jerking each other in their echo chamber.
Difficult topics = dog whistle
Uhh, no...I was banned for discussing a topic about how obesity is the number one killer and not tobacco...how is that a dog whistle?
But to people like you, anything you disagree with... instant nazi right?
No, just Nazi stuff.
I use Connect and it is the closest thing to RIF. Over the last few weeks the app has improved a ton.
Ooo, I'll have to check it out. I'm on Jerboa, which is good but I miss the buttons for snappy movements between comments that rif had the most
I know right I feel like I'm going crazy but no other app has these buttons and no one else mentioned them
Connect for Lemmy has the buttons, but also has these weird animations and they're slightly different (like they don't exist for nested comments, just the return to parent button)
+1 for connect from another RIF migrant here.
How do I send you and the developer $5
The devs info is in this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/2614066 . There is a link to "send him a coffee". I don't need the cash, so give my $5 to them. ;)
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!
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.
Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?
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 :)
That would be great! Thanks!
Here is the git repo: https://github.com/jivandabeast/RedditLemmyConverter/
It works pretty well, but I still have some updates to make. However, its there in case you or anyone else has any contributions they would like to add
Still use reddit and twitter for sports news and updates and a few fringe topics and I read only. Shut down my reddit account around 2019 and only have a twitter account because its a pain to view stuff if not logged in. Have never posted anything there.
