as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account
is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?
We don’t need reddit, reddit needs us. Just move on and be done with the platform. Just create new habits with Lemmy and reddit should slowly fade away from your mind. If we give alternatives some time, I’m sure great content will emerge and crazy shit like the three days no poop challenge will happen more over time.
I am personally very optimistic.
three days no poop challenge
The hell happened here?
the three days no poop challenge
That’s a challenge?
It became a meme early in June after migration from the API announcement. A Lemmy user was going on like a 3 day hiking trip and posted to asklemmy what foods to pack to reduced his needed poops.
Just to be clear, he absolutely wasn’t going hiking but to some sort of BDSM event.
We were there boys!
Lol. That’s even funnier. I just glossed over the original post. Didn’t realize that it was going to be Lemmy history.
should we just quit using these sites or what?
Yes.
We should strive to use/promote privacy-friendly and foss alternatives ( fediverse in general ) like Mastodon or Lemmy.
So I just visited reddit for the first time since June 30th because of this post. Opened a private window, typed reddit.com. It loaded fine. What makes you think you need an account to “view any of the datat that exists on” reddit?
because teddit is faster, lighter and looks better than stock reddit site
also to prevent trackers, ads and unnecessary JS that bloats and slows down the browser
While I appreciate the response the logic doesn’t check out. You can view the content. You don’t need an account unless you want to use your own viewer. This post was misleading.
Given your response other people’s answer to just not visit reddit is correct.
You don’t need an account unless you want to use your own viewer.
youre right, but teddit is the best way for people to lurk on reddit without actually giving reddit any traffic (remember, its not using reddit’s API, it uses its own unofficial API like nitter)
also it works on mobile browsers, and we all know how reddit behaves when you use its browser version on android
The answer is to use Fediverse alternatives to Reddit and Twitter.
Because I don’t want to feed your addiction I will not let you know which 3rd party apps will work because FUCK SPEZ nobody should ever go back lol.
Damn, check out this guy with his fancy embedded meme into his comment.
yes, exactly
twitter 👎 reddit 👎 meta 👎 alphabet 👎
You forgot Amazon (Twitch)
What social media does alphabet have?
youtube, google
Really stretching the meaning of “social media” there but sure.
Google yeah, but I don’t think YouTube is too much of a stretch, especially now they have posts and polls and other stuff.
I quit twitter when Elmo bought it and quit reddit when they announced their new pricing model. lemmy and mastodon are great!
The solution is to ditch Reddit altogether.
That’s not quite true. I self-host libreddit and it continues to work fine. The public instances with many users will not work because of the new API limits, but if you run one yourself, it should continue to work.
That said, I’ve mostly switched over to lemmy and mastodon and haven’t had a need to go to reddit or twitter.
Quitting from sites you despise is a better option than hopping from frontend to frontend in my view.
Reddit and Twitter are next. There’s nothing more to gain from using them.
Libreddit works fine for me.
Teddit doesn’t hold any data. It’s “data” was reddit. It’s developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.
Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.
Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits’s approach tries to bring back the old situation
Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.
