Part of the Digg exodus and on Reddit for ~14 years, Old.Reddit + Reddit Enhancement Suite for PC and Reddit is Fun on Android are the only reason I lasted so long.

Exactly the same! Except I never really liked and used Digg. Other than that: RIF on my phone and old Reddit plus RES for way over a decade. Cheers!
When RIF stops working that will be the end of Reddit on my mobile. I'll never use that pile of hot garbage they call a client. I can't say for sure I'll never use it on the desktop again, at least as long as old reddit keeps working. If they kill old reddit though, yeah I'll never go back.
The official app pushed me away when I was forced to see the 'hegetsus' crap. I've been waiting for Reddit to pull a Digg for a while and looks like the API nonsense is going to be it for me, anyway.
Yes this is me 😆
**** The app!
they learned nothing from why they got so popular in the first place (cough digg v4 cough) and it shows.
Dat Lemmy puss feels so much tighter tho
Honestly, I would even use the normal reddit website on my smartphone if they wouldn't aggressively try to make it as annoying as possible.
I saw a thread on Reddit about a script you can put into uBlock on Firefox that blocks the obnoxious "please oh please oh please download Reddit mobile" pop-ups
In theory, that would be possible, yes. But it is rather ... annoying and I'm sure reddit will break it again. Hmm. But thank you!
This is quite accurate. I've stood up my own lemmy instance... but hitting some pretty basic issues in the process. Not sure its ready for prime time.
Are you using containers + cloud?
The recommended ansible playbook, on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM.
I will miss Controversial sort. At least on "Give me your controversial takes" threads.
And the little red cross. Could immediately see if people were divided on something
Yeah, it's nice to be able to tell the difference between something with 2 upvotes because nobody cares, vs 2 upvotes because 400 people voted, and they're split 50/50.
Especially for one's own posts. Sometimes it's surprising the things that end up being controversial.
One thing I don't understand about lemmy, I can see an overall score, but at least on desktop, for some comments I can also see upvote and downvote count separately, but not for all. And the comments are in the same thread. Is this something users control?
Might be something related to specific communities? On desktop, and I can see separate counts when I hover the points here, and that's the case everywhere I'm looking.
Ah ok. But I meant right next to the buttons.
