As a 14-year long user, the new Fisher Price UI makes me sad :( What have they done to you, Reddit? - Lemmy.world

Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description I originally became addicted to Reddit because of all the stream-lined content I could consume, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide :/

I think Reddit doesn’t realize that what made their UI so appealing was precisely that it felt really functional and bare bones, like Craigslist still does or Google used to. As if it was designed by nerds who just wanted the most functional site. It makes it seem more trustworthy and neutral, less monetized.

This redesign looks painfully corporate.

I used RIF for the longest time and I just can’t with the official app. It’s already awful and if that’s what the website looks like now then the app will have a worse UI soon.

You guys are still using Reddit?

Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;

Unfortunately he is making it for tildes, a platform run by a single admin who bans people who have discussions about difficult topics
Show threadjivandabeastAug 11, 2023
Yeah that’s what I’ve seen too, I don’t know why he chose tildes? It’s not talked about, like at all. Seems like a big chunk of his userbase came over here
Show threadSupraMarioAug 13, 2023
The admin there who owns the place seems to want to keep it small, so yes no clue why he is making his app over there at this point. It’s clear the owner of tildes doesn’t want the place to grow. He just wants a bunch of people circle jerking each other in their echo chamber.

Difficult topics = dog whistle
Show threadSupraMarioAug 17, 2023

Uhh, no…I was banned for discussing a topic about how obesity is the number one killer and not tobacco…how is that a dog whistle?

But to people like you, anything you disagree with… instant nazi right?

No, just Nazi stuff.

I check in on one specific community and feel sad that the users are still there. But one of them signed up here today so there is hope!

I was being a little cheeky, I get it. I have a personal feed of reddit posts that get pulled from the subs i miss without me needing to visit the site.

The migration will be slow, but hopefully steady! Honestly, the lack of content kinda sucks but its much higher quality and the discussions here are way more personal which is really nice.

Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?
Show threadjivandabeastAug 11, 2023
I wrote a python script that uses the API (unauthenticated), it’s still in early stages right now but I intend to clean it up over the coming days and then publish it on GitHub – I’ll send you a link when i do :)

Still use reddit and twitter for sports news and updates and a few fringe topics. Shut down my reddit account around 2019 and only have a twitter account because its a pain to view stuff if not logged in. Have never posted anything there.

I use Connect and it is the closest thing to RIF. Over the last few weeks the app has improved a ton.

How do I send you and the developer $5
Show threadremoteloveAug 11, 2023
The devs info is in this post: lemmy.ca/post/2614066 . There is a link to “send him a coffee”. I don’t need the cash, so give my $5 to them. ;)
Connect 1.0.120 Released - Lemmy.ca

Hi, past couple days have seen a influx of new users so welcome everybody! This release is aimed at improving customization options and some requested improvements. The secondary buttons on post cards can now be customized, added a ‘Hide above’ option which will hide all posts above the selected post, and the upvote colour can now be customized (also applies to the new comment counter and swipe action background on upvote tiles). # Changes - Upvote colour can now be customized - Fixed a bug with the subscribe button not being in the correct state within About Community - & symbol now renders correctly on posts and comments - global setting moved up within the Settings page to make it more obvious - filter terms now accept regex (should start and end with a “/” eg /foo/) - spoiler tags should now work for multi-line spoilers - Added a toggle to display comment debug information (shows id, children count, hot rank, upvotes, downvotes - probably only useful for debugging). - Fixed an issue where ‘View More’ is showing when it shouldn’t be What would you like to see next: Tablet UI or more granular theme customizations? # Links: - Google play [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect] - you can support me here [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kurononeko] & -kuroneko

+1 for connect from another RIF migrant here.
Show threadjivandabeastAug 11, 2023
Ooo, I’ll have to check it out. I’m on Jerboa, which is good but I miss the buttons for snappy movements between comments that rif had the most
Show threadMetriximorAug 11, 2023
I know right I feel like I’m going crazy but no other app has these buttons and no one else mentioned them
Show threadjivandabeastAug 11, 2023
Connect for Lemmy has the buttons, but also has these weird animations and they’re slightly different (like they don’t exist for nested comments, just the return to parent button)
