i would scroll a lot longer on lemmy if there would be more content and my app Liftoff wouldn’t completely reset where i left off when i click a link or leave the app for a second. each time i have to search again where i was etc… sucks after 2 time too much to try again. also the sorting in the app don’t rly works… i click sort by new in my profile and it does nothing.

if you get too much of something fun, it stops being fun after a while. same as with drugs… after a while, the same dosis isn’t having the same high anymore as the first time.

i’m around 12 years on reddit, and votes & how good a post or comments gets welcomed by the communitys on reddit feels kinda random to me.

you can post like you said the same thing at random times, and it will be either welcomed or punished to hell. i had times where i tried to find out if time & timezones have something to do with, but even when trying to post on specific times this didn’t changed much.

after all this years, i decided for myself posting on reddit is like a dice. you roll and either win or fail.

edit: sorry for the horrible english by the way. my motherlanguage isn’t english so i often have still issues with finding the right words for things :/

admins and mods working for reddit (the paid ones) have “tools” to do such things. thats also how /u/spez manipulated user comments who said fuck spez etc. - also how they manipulate /r/place currently. they just paint a huge black square or checkerboard over images they dislike.

but… do most people actually care? i stopped caring about my cumulative amount after a specific amount (currently i’m at 319.056 Post-Karma, 91.827 comment karma). its just too much too care anymore for me. if it goes down or up… i don’t really feel it anymore or even care. i think the whole cumulative score of votes isn’t really fullfilling anything purposefull.

how do you feel about such a cumulative score? does it triggers dopamine for you? for me it is “meh”, so i’m interested in how other people experience this.

Also comments don’t seem to get hidden due to downvotes thankfully. That was always a stupid system.

i hate this so much about reddit. a lot of users abuse this system so much to hide your comments so nobody sees them anymore… they just vanish because usually users don’t click unhide.

even if you are nice in the comment and are in the right… if someone dislikes your comment they can pull out their twink accounts and downvote it. and if a comment is at around -3 to -4 or similiar, most users just click downvote without actually reading it… because “others have downvoted that comment so it has to be right. downvote click”

its just so toxic on reddit…

reddit already banned and killed aubreddits who just explained people how to migrate to kbin and lemmy. so i think if you would do that reddit would just start banning people and prevent us from posting any lemmy links. also most users probably wouldn’t bother even clicking on the link since they want the infos directly without having to do a lot of clicks. so it helps more to recommend lemmy to users in comments etc.

better solution: instead of creating a reddit post in first place, do it on lemmy. this forces over the long haul people to move because the content and community is there.

good. he killed off thirdparty apps and destroys twitter each day more. i hope it burns to the ground so we can finally start using a better plattform without him controling everything.

based on the knowledge, i would say nah. but maybe there is somewhere on the internet a genius who can somehow gets it to work stable enough… who knows.

i just checked the announcement of libreddit and it seems they used the same json endpoints i did for my project, so they probably encountered the same issues i did. and if they didn’t found a good solution yet (even after working way more with the API and endpoints than me)… dunno.

the biggest issue is that they detect thirdparty clients coded as a website parser on their server and just block you. and bypassing this isn’t really working well because of the rate limiting.

example: i just did send 3 requests where i first logged in, then asked for the recent posts of a sub… and already after this 2 requests i got rate limited by error 429 and couldn’t send any requests anymore.

so even just requesting the recent posts in a sub is an issue (with spoofed browser useragent). if you use a “legit” useragent it works better, but reddit exactly knows you’re using a thirdparty client and can block or ban you whenever they feel like. so it’s not really a good solution because every minute reddit could hit the killswitch. just not worth the time to develope a app if it gets killed off then anyway.

difficult till almost impossible. i recently started coding my own client for reddit (i wanted a way to still get nsfw content when thirdparty clients go dead), and reddit is fucking annoying as hell. everything you do… they smash issues towards you. every time shitty 429 errors (rate limiting) even if you are logged in. just using a useragent of a normal browser gets you ratelimited. so spoofing a normal browser don’t works. sending a bit too much requests (like the Stealth app who is basically a parser for reddits website) gets your device ip banned. if you then open reddit in browser, they smash a error in your face that basically says “fuck you, we think you are a bot. gtfo.”.

bypassing this rate limiting is almost impossible even if you try to spoof a browser. i tried the last few days and just gave up because its too annoying and buggy. the whole system of reddit is so annoying as a developer to work with.

it annoyed me so much, that i now think about making the app not for reddit but for lemmy. because reddit sucks. hard. fuck them.

still works fine if you use a older version of the app and are a moderator of a subreddit. apparently reddit didn’t killed the api key yet or the app somehow still works without api key.

what tells you that you are currently not in a dream and the whole reality is just created that way? and before you read this text right now, there existed nothing because you just got created with fake memory’s right now (boltzman brain)? :p

(sorry, i know this goes too far now and i should stop. so i will now :D)

are there? i sit here in front of my computer, no person anywhere. also not a single sign of a person being here except me. for all we know we could be a boltzmann brain imaging our past life and we will be gone in a few se

do we? or do we only REMEMBER doing it? ;)…

100% full agree.
