Are you using a vpn?

I use a VPN and they block me most days. I uninstalled the app and said fuqit.

Red Reader works but I have not found a solution for the browser. Sucks majorly because of search results leading you to a Reddit post.

Do you need to be able to post and upvote?

If not then install libredirect, go to the reddit settings, and ping instances until you find the lowest latency front end.

There you go. How you can read and the ui of most is pretty clean.

No login needed since I don't have an account anymore. That addon works, at least for Reddit it seems. A lot of other sites like IG or TicTok do not. The former at least has another site & addon that works but most of those proxy sites seem to just be broken, even though the pinging still works.

Can you guys stop talking about your ex ? You're with lemmy now, forget about the old bitch.

I'm all for staying here on Lemmy: Lemmings are nicer than Redditors and the place is a lot higher S/N ratio.

But... sadly, due to inertia, Reddit is still where a lot of stuff is squarely at. There are long-established Reddit communities - often nice, well behaved communities - that don't give a toss about the Reddit drama, and are simply not interested in moving out.

I've been trying to kickstart an equivalent Reddit community here on Lemmy for almost a year. While there's a handful of members, it's basically just me infrequently posting in it. The original one on Reddit has almost 10K members, is fairly active, and clearly none of the members know anything about Lemmy - much less want to create an account and join my insignificant equivalent community. I keep it around in case Reddit enshittifies to such an extent that even those who don't care start taking notice. But at the moment, inertia is much too strong.

Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.

It's the Reddit community, juste block it if you don't want to see it

Lol yeah I can't get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.

henfredemars ,

My work is also banned due to “suspicious” activity.

RGB3x3 ,

They're banning VPNs. I have no idea why, but reddit is unusable at this point.

henfredemars ,

It could be a simple way to prevent bots which clearly isn’t working, or perhaps users who reveal their IP address are worth more to advertisers.

fuckingkangaroos ,

users who reveal their IP address are worth more to advertisers.

I suspect they're able to track a lot of they have your IP address.

i've never had an office job but it's extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you're in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they'd take away as some bullshit austerity ritual

henfredemars ,

That’s actually a deprecation warning. You’re meant to move to a more modern platform.

3volver OP ,

I'm already here.
