YSK: you can still view Reddit posts anonymously

Reply in thread

Ok I tried. This is shit. After reading that fucking github without understanding what the point was. downloading Libredirect as instructed (which I had previously installed, and ditched for Redirector, because libredirect is shitty) , and still not knowing WHERE to redirect, I finally by random chance find a clear link here: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md

So redlib, is just a complicated way to get one of those link. BUT Those links (which is redlib without the extra step.. so link to them instead please) are shit

because the default visualisation is modern reddit, which is just a endless tiktok/insta/fb-like feed of shit. If you want to see past all the pile of shit , and then select the one post that might be a good one, you have to select the "compact" visualisation. You can change that in Setting. Great.

BUT

Now, we have the second shitty UI implementation: they miss the basic feature that old reddit and LEMMY use. 1 click preview of image or text, without quitting the actual page. Without that feature, every thing need 2 clic and 2 move across the screen : you clic a thing that might be cool, that open the second page with the image/video/text.. you realize it was shit, you have to move the mouse to go back in your browser, and clic there. Then move back to the next image, clic it... and so on.

Without the one clic preview, all those feed app are shit. You cant find anything without an extended amount of time or endless scrolling..

The good new in all that is that Lemmy was very well done. It has the perfect UI to favor the finding of information, instead of favoring mindless scrolling. But the pile in Lemmy is small, and you have to skim through reddit to find some interesting stuff still... and with the death of old reddit, you cant anymore.

Open acces to old.reddit.com now gone for me on all devices.

the +Sub in url still work:

The limit seems to be at 20 subs added, or dependant of the size of sub (the list above are some of the most followed sub); you can have more if they are less followed it seems like this:

lemmy.ml mod asleep on the ban button.. what is rule4 anyway?

Reply in thread

not mad at all. the beauty of lemmy, is that if you dont like the behavior of a community/instance.. you dont have to stay with it, you create your own.

If an instance feel it is okay to ban for 40 day someone because of 2 post at a few minutes interval... I really dont want to post on that instance anymore. I post things I find interesting. It is more a way to archive links in the same place. If it is deleted (by error or powertrip) , it make me lose time, and my references. So i'd rather post somewhere else, where it will stay.

Thanks for your time, and the explanations

Three white men

Reply in thread

You seems to say, that jew, being massively from north Africa shouldnt be labeled as white. Which is totally fair. Except jew isnt a color, there are black jew, and white jew. Black christian, and white one. Black muslim and white one.

Plus , you try to Straw man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man) this meme. It never assumed any religion of the 3 white men portrayed. Probably, none of them believe in anything but whatever further their agenda.
