And for those that prefer old reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/15t1mzn/mandatory_meeting_the_after_madisons_departure/?rdt=35142

Actually, if one uses the official Reddit app, they do have real names. It’s part of the data that the app reads out of your phone’s settings.

Everything is better than Brand X. Every ad has told me so.

It’s a reference to “musk”

Does Stinky believe that by suing these researchers, the rise in hate speech didn’t happen?!

But reddit’s search sucks!

So. We went from Outlook Express to Windows Mail back to Outlook?! Make up your damn mind, Microsoft

Technically, yes, iPhone users can set up custom icons, but it’s a faf and a half to set up, because you have to use the app Shortcuts and I believe it only works on your home screen, not in the app drawer.

If you have to use reddit on your iphone, use Narwhal instead of the privacy-data hungry official crapp.

Nope, it really doesn’t need that, just use any of the web clients if you need that.

But lemmy, nor Mastodon, nor Pixelfed, nor kbin need that.

I’ll stick with pocket casts.

Finally the karma store is real!

When I was still on android, I loved Minuum as my daily driver keyboard. It took some getting used to, but it supported multiple languages at the same time and its word recognition was beyond anything I’ve ever seen. But I don’t know if it still works.

It was also on ios, but they pulled it from the store last year and the website for it disappeared.

They’re also removing the coins and awards that you got for reddit Premium. They’re doing a speedrun of destruction of platform

“thrives”, “inflates its userbase using instagram”.
Potato, potato.

Musk has fully entered the altright edgelord arena.

Meanwhile, Amazon does sell ads. Sponsored products are advertisements.

It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

For multilingual people. Please be aware that wefwef will fail upon posting comments, if you have selected more than 1 language in your Lemmy profile. Wefwef comes back with the error message that you need to select a language in your Lemmy profile.

Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it’s called “add to home screen”)

This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)

When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on “lemmy.world”, and log in to your Lemmy instance.

Enjoy.

One thing to be aware of. If you have selected more than one language in your Lemmy profile, wefwef fails to post comments because you need to select which language you typed in, and you can’t select that (yet?) in wefwef.
