I don’t think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don’t think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it’s completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn’t make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can’t access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

I also just don’t see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.

Shareholders: why not all three?

That’s not the headline or the description written by the OP lol

That is not the obvious interpretation, and the headline (and description added by OP) are deliberately written to imply something that’s not true.

Hm yeah weird. I tried chrome just to test and the scrolling is definitely slightly different but I don’t think it’s smoother. Just kinda tweaked differently I guess. Haven’t tried bromite tho.

Feels exactly the same to me (if not slightly faster due to adblocking). You might just be mistaking familiarity with Chrome for it being tangibly better.

Reddit went batshit for his mediocre lewd drawings of an underage character (I think he called her Chloe?) a few years back. Shit legitimately made me want to leave Reddit at the time but Lemmy wasn’t a thing yet.

The couple of times I’ve checked Reddit since leaving, the top posts have seemed lower effort. A lot more reposts than I remember there being. And the comments are meaner than before.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the ReVanced patches swapped out the API keys for Reddit’s own, so Reddit’s servers just think it’s their own app. For now that approach may be viable, but Reddit will undoubtedly be working on checks to prevent this.

When I first joined Reddit I remember thinking the conversations on there were more insightful than on other sites. Recently it’s been the exact same poor quality of content. and since the exodus (in the couple of threads I’ve lurked) I’ve noticed it’s got FAR worse in such a short period of time.

Yesterday I checked in on Reddit and read some comments under a video of an older man getting called out for taking creep shots of a girl in public. A good ~50% of the comments were saying he’s allowed to take photos in public ??? It was honestly disgusting.
