Occasionally I’m tempted to look at Reddit again, and then I remember that I’d have to use the web or official client now, so it would all just be ads anyway…

If you have to view reddit. old.reddit.com on FF with ublock is the least worst option.

Or use RSS.

On mobile the stupid site still gives me the popup every time for getting the app. I try not to bother.

I stopped using mobile to access reddit when that bullshit started.

I catch it every so often but I’m not really missing anything anymore. Kinda like reaching for a newspaper for more takes on a story.

RedReader is a working Reddit app alternative. Free and open source.

Am I missing something or does this only have a cards type mode?!

Edit: You have to disable "inline previews" to get a regular / compact view.
Edit: Too bad you need an account for subbing. One of the features I'll miss from Infinity.

RedReader, right? You can add custom subs by going to a subreddit and select "Pin to Main Menu" from menu. You can do this without an account.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but that does not create a custom frontpage with just your subscribed subs. Infinity was able to do that even without an account.
Not a huge fan of the colors & layout of RedReader either but it's not like there's a lot of options now.

Have they said what's happening with Relay Pro (the old one-off paid version)?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mine is still working. Mind you, I had to check.

Thank you for relaying this information

Vulcan is a proud Relay user and relying on this app for Reddit for years, but The Snoo Platform alienated me away and nowadays, Vulcan is roaming around here and fediverse.
