I used to hit reddit forums for internet queries because they are usually at the top of search engines. Now I blow right past them to the next in theme answers (steam for gaming for example) because the join us we are a cult splash screen is annoying. Anyone that is going to create a reddit account/use the app ALREADY IS. The enshittification is so painfully bad.

Try ro access Reddit through Redlib.
Use LibRedirect to make the redirect automatic.

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

reddit is a fucking dumpster fire if you aren't logged in..... when i first joined lemmy i would still occasionally visit reddit when i got bored, but i wasn't logging in and holy shit its a fucking cesspool!

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

if you aren't logged in

Ngl, you had me in the first half

[–] TubbyMarmot@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It is all bots. The actual remaining humans are there to make the same recycled jokes and argue with each other.

It is nice to not be on it (or here) constantly.

[–] Napster153@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

Yeah, you can't talk there without risk of getting banned off the platform by chance. Sucks because a lot of well-built communities are there and most of what you need to ask can be found there.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I can't believe how bad it is now. There is no real news. It used to be interesting but it's so watered down that it's basically pointless. Couple that with the quality of major news outlets, and we're basically experiencing a media blackout.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I'd add the ubiquity of paywalls these days contributes a lot as well. We used to have it so good.

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 hours ago

The power move is to see that and never return. Let their analytics show you didn't give in and won't be giving them any more telemetry/user data/content.

[–] Ashneroth@thelemmy.club 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for forcing me reddit. Hello lemmy

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago
[–] razen@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I wanted to leave reddit and that is the reason I cam to lemmy but sadly there is almost nothing here of my interest. It is mostly western based, so things of my interest arent really here.

I still have removed reddit from my phone and only use it on desktop to get to know about current affairs.

[–] kevinsky@feddit.nl 59 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Stop using platforms that are actively locking you out. The reason they keep doing this is because people keep complying.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 19 points 18 hours ago

Thanks for the content you createdfor us, now log in to see it.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 102 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Don't log into an account.

Browse the Internet like normal.

If x.com or reddit.com won't let you view without privacy, they're dead and useless.

Have some spine; lead, and stop following and being led by evil people and companies.

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

XCancel and redlib will let you browse both without an account, and while cutting out most of their ad revenue as well (bots/marketing accounts notwithstanding of course)

Firefox extensions:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/redlib/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/xcancel/

Redlib is also much easier to use on mobile than old reddit, but posts are rate limited to every 12 hours or something. So it actually helps stop you from doom scrolling a bit too.

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 18 points 23 hours ago (6 children)

This is true for YouTube as well.

Lol Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram with its nonstop log in request

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 17 hours ago

Tumblr and Pinterest are on life support.

Insta and reddit still have enough inertia.

If they don't make you log in, they lose sigint.

IF they do make you log in, they burn activity and users

Reddit will eventually fizzle out, Just another in a long chain of bad ideas trading short gains over long life.

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Platforms with followers where it makes sense to have them, friends and followers on reddit always seemed odd to me

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 22 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Nice. That is just enough of a barrier to stop be using reddit entirely. Not posted in years but sometimes read when bored enough.

[–] lepthesr@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Same, I'm 100% here now.

I still lurked since the api bs and after close to 20 yrs on reddit they pull this crap. They can get fucked.

[–] Goforce5@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Exactly why I'm here. I used RIF exclusively for a decade, then they killed it. I suffered with their browser version, but now they killed r/all and I ditched for good.

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

You can still subscribe to reddit subs using RSS feeds (for now, they're planning to discontinue RSS sadly). Then open it using redlib and LibRedirect browser extension.

Been like that for about month in Aus.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 4 points 17 hours ago

I didn't even notice

[–] catsarebadpeople@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Don't you understand? Reddit is in DANGER from users NOT BEING LOGGED IN!

Cant even read posts on the browser without being interrupted about a minute in saying to use their stupid fucking app. Reddit is trash.

And the garbage finished taking itself out. Wonderful.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (14 children)

They don't even try to lie effectively. Why in Hell's name would you need to log in to "keep reddit safe" just to lurk?

Weird. Not doing it to me.

[–] LickMySweatyTaint@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Artemis for Reddit still works without an account.
