I only joined Lemmy yesterday and I plan on using both for now but this site and app are already a so much better experience without ads and everything loads lightning fast. And then I open reddit and I have to look at the spinning circle everytime I click on something. For some reason, it's even worse on desktop. That shit feels so unresponsive.
If you're gonna use both for now, I would recommend downloading an ad blocker. AdGuard and ublock origin (the word origin is important, there is a knockoff called ublock) are both good. It was greed that motivated Reddit to pull this shit, might as well deny them ad revenue.
I never knew it was a knockoff! I always thought it was just an inferior version but still them! TIL about people stealing the name of a free ad blocker (presumably) for profit 🤦
There's a bit more history to it than that. The developer of uBlock wanted to walk away from the project and found some people to manage it instead. The first thing they did was strip out the developer's name and start appeals for donations (note they haven't actually done anything productive yet). This pissed off the original developer so much he came back but had to rename his version to 'uBlock Origin'.
Do these actually work for Reddits android app? I've tried a few blockers over the years including adguard and I don't think any have stopped these ads because they're coming from Reddit like a normal post
I was looking into patching the reddit app with revamped manager. That might be able to help you. I decided to just leave reddit entirely.
One of us! One of us!

Gooble gobble. ^Gooble^ ^gobble.^
ArOOOOga!
I used Boost which was a freaking awesome app. I flat out refuse to use Reddits own app because it sucks monkey balls!
I'm a bit skeptical of Lemmy though since lot of subs aren't that active.
Start posting. Really. I've been posting to keep communities I like going and others have started posting too. It's slow growth, but the more content a community has, the more people will sub to it and eventually post to. Anyway, that's my opinion.
So what you're saying is we need people to browse threads and post random comments that probably won't be read?
My time has come.
Our hero :)
I tried to give the official app a shot after using Boost for years. Absolutely no customization options other than light/dark theme, ads everywhere, different interface for video comments, and it drained my battery. Felt so good to uninstall.
The dev for Boost is making an app for Lemmy.
Good thing you didn't join 10 days ago then, you would have uninstalled instantly 😀
The difference is that this is an open source community driven effort. Reddit is a for profit business. On that basis, I give Lemmy a lot more leeway when it comes to bugs. Reddit just turned into a slog over the last few years BECAUSE they try to monetize it to death.
I joined Lemmy about a month ago and left Reddit. I already new that it was still a work in progress so I was fully prepared for the inevitable hiccups. It's already come so far in just a month! Apps are coming along nicely and everything is working pretty smoothly (besides the recent hacking situation). I really hope it continues to grow and thrive.
