I must admit, i was somehow curious, but no!

      It stopped working for me with a vpn. They are really pushing people away at this point.

      I guess it’s an issue is profitability. I think long term, these companies can’t survive. It really depends on a community support.

    I use old Reddit and a third party app, so my recap made no sense

    I liked that

        Iirc Joe for Reddit was one of the few third party apps, that were able to continue using the api for free ( or almost? ).

        I don’t remember what the conditions were though, there was some catch, something they had to feature in their apps in order to get the free api access.

        A few of mine continued to work as normal, and I’m not sure why

    Blocking modal windows are a sin and make me less likely to interact with a site. Imgur is also guilty. No, I don’t want to participate in your community meme event when I’m just trying to look at an image on the app that is clogging up my RAM because you think it does something important and interesting enough to warrant deeplinking it in an electron wrapper.

    Also, while I’m here, fuck modal windows with no X to close button which forces you to read the buttons to figure out which one is the “fuck off” button and not the “take all my money” button.

      Hey, remember the days of pop-up windows where the X button was labelled “Open in background” if you hovered over it. At least there’s been some progress. \s

      Or the X has the same color as the background, making it hard to see at all and so small, it’s almost unusable on Mobile.

      These are all intentional, to make it hard for you. I build websites for a living and clients actually ask for designs that “keep” the user on the site. Since i have no say in things other than the area that affects my work, i sometimes hate my job and have no other way than just do my job.

      “Oh, the cancel button is too big. Make it smaller or better yet, don’t make it a button, just a small text link, somewhere at the bottom, with font-size: 9 px … And remove the underline…”

    The only way to use Reddit on mobile is to use old Reddit. You have to zoom in to tap on things, but holy hell it’s still so much better than the mobile version of the website.

      It’s wild to me that Reddit never developed a reasonably functional mobile version of their site. They bought out a few designs, and relied on 3rd party apps for a while, and now they’re doing their utmost to force everyone to use the garbage pile that is their current design. I just don’t see how it proved such an impossible task for them.

        I get the sense that tying their shoelaces is an impossible task for them. That the site is online and running is a damned miracle.

      Eh, the worse the experience is, the less I want to use Reddit, which is only good if you ask me.

    One of the advantages of being on old reddit like a hopeless geezer is not getting to see that shit.

    I’m glad I have slowly moved away from Reddit, hope we get some sort of Fedi recap stuff in the future as is a really cool idea but glad we don’t get forced to use Apps and stuff.

      To a point there’s an interesting balance to be had…

      On one hand sure these stats are fun, on the other people on the Fediverse don’t want secret tabs kept on them, or more information collected than necessary.

      At least you can go through your profile and look at your top posts and comments.

        I would guess it would be instance to instance basis and will most likely have to be 100% transparent with what it’s doing.

      Any recap “service” suggests (necessitates, even) that said site is digging deeply through the data it has on you. It’s only function is to normalize the notion that these companies have your data and “it’s really not a big deal because they’re doing this fun stuff with it, right?”

      Suffice to say, I’m good without a Fediverse “recap”.

    Meh, I opened Reddit just to lurk on the only subreddit I would post on. Recap for that community reminded me it was all one big circle jerk… but now with more advertisements.
